iQor’s virtualized environment allows the company to rapidly deploy its global workforce within the agent’s home and mirror the same experience provided onsite. Agents at home simply log into their company-provided virtual desktops, known as thin clients, to access their software and start taking calls. Data is safeguarded via remote datacenters. For quality monitoring, iQor’s supervisors have access to multiple remote management, productivity, and speech analytics applications, which help deliver the same results achieved at a contact center.
“No matter if onsite or at an agent’s home, the customer experience remains the same,” said Praznik. “Thin clients simply connect to our secure datacenters to provide everything an agent needs while our proprietary speech analytics platform continues to detect signals from agents and customers to point out quality concerns–customer sentiment, productivity, audio quality–so we can solve issues quickly.”
