SCB Life call center performance, currently abandon rate is 2.58%. Number of inbound calls decrease significantly because no more repeated call. Previously abandon rate was so high and customer had to call again which create a lot of repeated calls.
The reason I send this mail is to request to delay the replacement of IVR and telephony at SCB Life call center. Bottleneck is new IVR. We plan to use the same IVR platform as SCB. Which is now not done yet. Even our IVR project is on schedule, but up to my nose. We can not let anyone touch IVR right now. The best time is to wait until SCB's IVR done first and SCB life will be 2 months later on.
To delay SCB Life project, there is one concern, recording system. Their recording system will be end of service at the end of February. SCB is upgrading and SCB Life will use the new one with us. The problem is we can not connect with their current IVR which is analog and so old. Need to wait for new IVR then we can connect to complete the whole system.
I offered them 2 choices
1) In PBX there is basic IVR which GTS using right now. They can use this IVR as an interim (the feature almost same as their current one) then we can connect new telephony and new recording. After Genesys IVR is done we can replace IVR one more time.
Or 2) Stay still and wait until new IVR done, then replace the whole system at one time.
The call center manager, Khun Pisun, prefers the second option because recording system is not a do or die for them.
There other worry is the commitment to the board that they will replace call center system within second quarter. I told them they already achieved the target to manage abandon rate to be less than 3%. To delay the rest should be acceptable.
Pls let me hear your thought ka.
