eLoyalty Releases New Behavioral Analytics(TM) Software
New Version Enhances Insights Into Customer Attitude, CSR Performance and Business Process Efficiency
| Source: eLoyalty Corporation
LAKE FOREST, IL--(Marketwire - April 1, 2008) - eLoyalty Corporation (NASDAQ : ELOY ), a
leading enterprise customer relationship management services and solutions
company, today announced that it has released a new version of its
Behavioral Analytics™ software that enhances insights into customer
attitude, customer service representative ("CSR") performance and business
process efficiency.
In order to assess customer attitude in each analyzed contact center
interaction, eLoyalty applies a unique, patent pending approach: eLoyalty's
software analyzes callers' voice tempo, key words, grammar and syntax in
order to identify a caller's attitude and personality preferences. By
understanding a caller's attitude and personality preferences, Behavioral
Analytics™ clients are able to more accurately predict their customers
"at risk" of defection; understand patterns of dissatisfaction with
products and processes; and better manage CSR performance variability.
This new version of Behavioral Analytics™ software also enhances the
analysis of non-interaction time (long periods of hold and silence) in
contact center interactions. Non-interaction time is a significant issue
for contact centers as it often represents up to 30% of a contact center's
total talk time. Behavioral Analytics™ clients will now have a more
detailed understanding of what CSR's do during periods of non-interaction.
These insights will enable companies to better manage CSR performance
variability and improve inefficient business processes.
As part of its Managed Services delivery model, eLoyalty has made
significant investments to continuously upgrade the functionality of
Behavioral Analytics™ software. These investments include multiple
dedicated development environments; a large database of test customer
interactions; regression testing tools; and numerous highly skilled
linguists, analysts and developers.
This new version of our software is now available to existing and new
Behavioral Analytics™ clients. As part of its Managed Services model,
eLoyalty provides new software versions at no additional cost in order to
equip its customers with the most advanced set of analytics and insights
available.
