Date: 6/18/2015, San Francisco, CA and Phoenix, AZ

  • Partnership and product integration between Aspect and LiveVox makes it simple to establish and operate an advanced enterprise contact center
  • Combined solution helps enterprises forecast and optimize calling campaigns and agent staffing
  • Delivered through the Aspect Cloud, Aspect’s expansive and patented global data center and telecommunications infrastructure

Aspect Software, a leading provider of fully-integrated customer interaction management, workforce optimization, back-office and award-winning cloud solutions, and LiveVox, a leading provider of cloud contact centers for enterprises, announced that Aspect EQ Workforce Management is now available directly from LiveVox in the Aspect Cloud and pre-integrated with the LiveVox platform. The combined solution accelerates and simplifies the integration between these cloud platforms resulting in a highly efficient contact center able to manage outbound, inbound and self-service interactions while using the right number of agents with the right skills at the right time

The Aspect-LiveVox solution delivers advanced contact center capabilities via a simple cloud, OpEx model to:

  • Accurately project staffing requirements, incorporating statistics from actual outbound and inbound calling campaigns
  • Create efficient multi-skill staffing plans
  • Monitor real-time adherence and compare staff performance versus plan
  • Adjust resources to meet changing demand in real-time

Mike Bourke, Aspect SVP and General Manager, describes the advantages of integrating solutions with LiveVox: “Aspect EQ Workforce Management gives customers all of the benefits of cloud delivery, including being able to convert capital expenditures to operating expenditures, enabling rapid scalability, eliminating software and hardware maintenance, while providing the lowest possible total cost of ownership. Now any sized contact center can experience the benefits of a feature-rich, flexible and scalable workforce management solution.”

Fabrice Della Mea, LiveVox VP for Product Management, comments on the integration: “We developed our platform APIs so that clients and partners can take advantage of our cloud architecture while adding capabilities tailored for their business.  Our joint solution with Aspect is a great example of this larger value proposition. Not only did we integrate the technology platforms, but also we collaborated on a new monthly flex model for WFM capacity so enterprises can add short-term campaigns or manage seasonal growth in the most cost -ffective manner.”

Using Aspect EQ Workforce Management with LiveVox capabilities, contact centers can take advantage of a rich set of advanced outbound WFM features such as multiple trial schedules for testing new outbound calling scenarios and complex employee preferences to accommodate agent personal schedules. They can also obtain ROI benefits such as:

  • Reducing the time and effort to produce customized forecasts and schedules by as much as 20-40%, thus freeing supervisor time to focus on improved quality and training
  • Improving agent satisfaction with self-scheduling capabilities, which increases retention and is shown to also contribute to higher customer call quality ratings
  • Optimizing staffing levels to match real-time needs and consequently trimming over- and under-scheduled shifts by as much as 20-30%
