Additionally, Contact Centers In-Line allows management to instantly notify agents about revised procedures or new promotions, while monitoring agent use of content. CCIL also enables managers to test agents on their knowledge of particular subjects. Thanks to CCIL's automated real-time filtering, agents are presented with both call resolution documents and offers that match a caller's profile and the call context, which eliminates the need for manually searching for the appropriate document to answer callers’ questions. This translates into higher first call resolution and customer retention rates, improved service quality, and agent productivity.
