New NICE Sales Effectiveness Business Solution Helps Drive Revenues and Enhance Operational Efficiencies, Combines NICE Interaction Analytics with eglue`s Real-time Impact Capabilities
NICE SmartCenter`s cross-channel Interaction Analytics with next-best-action agent guidance and process automation from recently acquired eglue, together deliver real-time, personalized offers for higher service-to-sales conversion rates
**Raanana, Israel, August 03, 2010,** **NICE** **Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ:** **NICE** **)** , the global provider of intent-based solutions that enable organizations to extract Insight from Interactions to drive performance, reduce risk, and ensure safety, today introduced the NICE Sales Effectiveness Business Solution. The new solution is based on the combined capabilities of NICE SmartCenters cross-channel Interaction Analytics and real-time next-best-action agent guidance and sales process automation from recently acquired eglue. The new business solution helps organizations optimize Customer Dynamics, maximizing the sales potential of their contact centers by significantly improving sales effectiveness, enabling real-time delivery of personalized sales offers and optimized handling of customer objections, resulting in higher service-to-sales conversion rates. Concurrently, the solution also minimizes call handle time enabling the agent to handle more calls per shift. The NICE Sales Effectiveness Business Solution is being demonstrated at SpeechTEK, at the NICE booth, # 604, in New York, at the Marriott Marquis, August 2-4, 2010.
Michael Maoz, Research Vice President, Distinguished Analyst at leading analyst and advisory firm, Gartner, commented, "Businesses have been attempting to evolve their contacts center from cost centers to revenue centers for over 15 years, largely without success. To earn the trust of the customer, the customer service agent needs the tools to leverage insights about customer intent. They require real-time inputs on what customers want and the agents have to know how they should communicate with the customer. We are seeing this move away from unpredictable, even random, customer activity and towards a contact center that can serve as the core of the organization`s relationship with its most valuable asset: its customers. The key enabling technologies are real time analytics, process design tools, and contextual knowledge systems."
The NICE Sales Effectiveness Business Solution optimizes Customer Dynamics by leveraging NICE SmartCenter`s cross-channel Interaction Analytics to uncover customer insights from sales interactions -- whether by phone, chat or emails - on issues such as sales drivers and inhibitors, and best practices on sales objection handling. The solution also employs desktop analytics to discover process and agent inefficiencies during the sales call flow and post-call wrap-up activities. By leveraging these insights in real time, the solution prompts the agent with the right offer to the customer at the right time, based on the context of the call, thus guiding agents to increased sales conversion rates. In addition, the NICE solution enables agents to leverage more sales opportunities and handle more calls by making sales calls more efficient. This is achieved by automating the typically time-intensive data entry of sales and post-call information into the necessary operational desktop systems.
"We are very excited about our new NICE Sales Effectiveness Business Solution, which introduces a paradigm shift in how contact centers can benefit from a significant impact on sales success and drive revenue increase in organizations," said Udi Ziv, President of the NICE Enterprise Product Group. "We have already received very positive feedback from customers and prospects, as this is the first time that companies can apply customer related insights and predictive sales models - in real time - enabling them to realize sales opportunities that may exist in customer interactions."

Keith Dawson, principal analyst at Frost & Sullivan said, "The NICE offering supports the entire agent-management environment and beyond by addressing key enterprise business issues as well. The advanced capabilities of the umbrella offering, NICE SmartCenter, enables organizations to optimize Customer Dynamics, that is - capturing customer and business intent, analyzing, and driving the best way for contact centers to respond and make a significant and positive impact on the performance of agents, the contact center, and the enterprise."
In addition to presenting the benefits the core components of NICE SmartCenter, including interaction recording, quality management, workforce management, and performance management, the report by Frost & Sullivan noted NICE`s continued work as a leading developer of analytics applications for improving contact center and enterprise performance.
"NICE has been adept at focusing analytics applications on specific business problems, and offering them to the marketplace as packaged, targeted applications for issues such as improving first call resolution, fighting customer churn, reducing average handle time, or improving sales effectiveness. In this way, the benefits of analytics become clearer to users beyond its traditional role as an add-on to call recording and quality monitoring. The customer sees the ROI and the benefits, but not the underlying complexity that can make analytics seem daunting to deploy," Dawson added.
Also noted in the report is the NICE IEX Workforce Management (WFM) solution for providing a comprehensive forecasting, scheduling and change management solution. The report remarks on how the NICE IEX WFM solution uses patented algorithms for forecast accuracy, and has a multiskill simulation approach that stands out in the market. The NICE IEX WFM multi-site capabilities are also presented as unique, for having been designed from the beginning to handle highly complex scheduling environments.
"We are pleased about the results of the new Frost & Sullivan report, further illustrating our number one market position in the significant North American region, which continues to strengthen year over year," said Udi Ziv, President of the Enterprise Product Group at NICE. "These results also represent our growing leadership in the key segments that are relevant and important to our customers and prospects. They also reflect the strategic value add we bring in providing solutions for optimizing Customer Dynamics, whereby our customers can raise the bar on improving agent performance in ensuring customer satisfaction and loyalty, ensuring regulatory compliance, and enhancing improving operational efficiency."
NICE solutions for Agent Performance Optimization are driven by real-time, cross-channel analytics, enabling organizations to optimize Customer Dynamics and improve agent performance in the contact center, for increasing revenue, enhancing customer experience, improving regulatory compliance, and optimizing contact center and back office operations.
