At SpiceCSM we appreciate that Process Management is a full-time task and can seem daunting at times. Processes can be moving targets, requirements force workflows to constantly evolve, and data transactions can require updates as connections mature. We have identified the following three challenges that organizations will face as they build and maintain one of the most critical pieces of their business operations:
Typical decision trees like the ones you see in flow-charting applications are essentially step-by-step guides that walk a user through a process and provide them with the next best steps based on their selections. They sort complex processes into incremental steps so they are easier to follow, but that’s about the extent of the functionality for most decision tree implementations. There’s no intelligence or logic and the processes are contained in their own little boxes.
3 Ways to Reduce Training Time Using Technology If you really want to reduce training time, we challenge you to look at the technology your agents are using. Is it simple to use? Does it proactively help agents? Does it make their jobs easier? If you didn't answer YES to all of those questions, you could be complicating your training efforts out of the gate due to the technology your agents utilize to manage the customer journey. One of the unsung heroes of SpiceCSM's Business Process/BPM tool is the ability to reduce the amount of time agents need to start producing at the levels of longstanding employees. Typically when bringing new agents onto the team there's a period of training, usually involving some classroom knowledge transfer, exercises, role playing, and a variety of other methods to give the agents resources to solve requests efficiently. Depending on the organization and type of business, this could take anywhere from 1 - 12 weeks, or longer. In higher turnover environments this only exacerbates training challenges and emphasizes the need to make new employees more productive in less time. Here are 3 ways you can utilize technology to help reduce training efforts:
What is iPaaS: Explaining Integration Capabilities What is iPaaS? iPaas is a cloud-based platform that allows businesses to connect their existing systems together. It provides a single interface where users can access their data from across different software platforms. This means they can view information from one application within another without having to switch between them. The platform also makes it easy for people to build new integrations by providing low-code tools that allow connections to be made with external systems.
LCAP - What is a Low-Code Application Platform The vision that SpiceCSM has from our inception was to have an application that provided the tools to customize the user experience easily and orchestrate data without the need for technical expertise. What we've been calling an "Enterprise Application Builder" is now being recognized by leading analysts as a Low-Code Application platform, or LCAP for short.
The best and most complete platform for data integration, case management, and workflow management to help transform your customer journey.
