The requirements
In 2009, as part of a technology upgrade, Callus began a search for a predictive dialing solution, and had a variety of requirements for their selected dialer:
- It must deliver very high predictive performance
- Progressive and preview dialing must also be available. Callus’ range of campaigns required a range of dialing modes to suit each situation
- Pricing must be competitive
- The supplier must offer a free trial for Callus to assess the capabilities of the solution
- An integrated scripting tool was also important for the production of agent screens
- The solution must be designed to operate in a hosted model, and across multiple sites
- The solution must integrate with the existing PBX, voice and data recording, and quality management systems
- The supplier must provide local, same-language, hands-on support.
Trial and results
Sytel’s Softdial Contact Center™ software was selected for a trial, and Intelitel, Sytel’s integration partner in Turkey, was engaged to perform the implementation of Sytel’s software suite. Intelitel provided hands-on integration and project management services throughout the trial to ensure the architecture met Callus’ requirements.
L.Burçin Sözütok, Technology and Business Development Director for Callus commented
“The top benefit is that Sytel offer a one-stop solution for all our needs. This means no more specialist development and integration in order to make packages from separate vendors play nicely together.”
“The level of flexibility, support and assistance that Sytel and Intelitel have provided during the trial and throughout usage of the platform has been outstanding.
“Many tasks can now be completed much more quickly and with less effort with the Sytel system. For instance, the time to create campaigns, or to develop agent screens, can now be measured in days rather than weeks!
“And we have experienced a fast return on investment due to the very high productivity of the Sytel dialer.”
