A limited transcription and analytics capability exists today. The current solution uses recent call recordings to generate transcription files which are then assessed for keywords to identify possible customer needs. As such the current solution is not 'real time' but provides daily analysis for the calls which are screened to support continuous improvement. There is a business desire to enhance our ability to identify needs at the earliest opportunity. We would like our agents to have real-time, on-screen advice when dealing with customers with complex needs, this would be supplemented with real time agent/customer sentiment analysis. In addition, this capability will provide quantitative and qualitative management information, insights and reporting.
