You've heard of death by a thousand cuts? It's real, but we don't have to be negative all the time. Let's make our glass half full and remember a more positive cliché: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." The part of that maxim that's forgotten tends to be the millions of steps that follow the first one. The point is that little things can make a big difference when you put them together. For example, after a VoiceVision® assessment, when small changes to a call flow are implemented, even modest improvements can lead to significant results. Imagine a call that used to take one minute,… Learn More

IVR Maintainability reflects your ability to change and configure the automated voice menus that your customers navigate to accomplish their goal when contacting you. It is the first point of our VoiceVision 14 Point Diagnostic which we will discuss in detail. IVR Maintainability is what we consider a “cost driver” for operating your enterprise’s communication systems. Poor IVR Maintainability leads to changes costing more than they should, and perhaps even a stagnant, paralyzed interface that drives away customers. Let’s take a look about why that is. Cost of Making Changes IVRs, Auto-attendants, and PBXs come in varied arrays of software and hardware. Each brand and vendor has its own… Learn More

Hello readers! I just got back from Seattle and boy are my arms tired! I was up to my eyeballs in Contact Center Camaraderie and Commiseration at the ICMI ACCE (“ACE”) conference in Seattle. Since Vision Point Systems has historically been involved in telephony as an IVR provider, we wondered if a Contact Center Conference would be right for us, and… Learn More

We don’t want to replace your phone system. We want to make your system work for you. VoiceVision is a methodical approach to evaluating the overall efficiency of your integrated telephony and contact center resources. To conduct these evaluations, we have to ask a lot of questions about how staff members get things done with the tools they have. Interestingly enough, when we meet folks, and start asking them questions, they want to know, “What does your phone system do? What will your phone system do for us? Does your phone system have option z?” VoiceVision is a consulting engagement, not a hardware implementation. Our 14-Point Diagnostic process measures how… Learn More

Telephony deployments in general, and Contact Centers in particular are complex and difficult to manage.

You can't move forward with an effort to optimize until you know what you've got. Check out our latest white paper on why you should assess your full deployment and get an idea on what to look for to ensure that your system is synced with itself and with your business goals.

Next week promises to be a busy and interesting week for a few of us at Vision Point Systems. I’m on my way to Brussels for an ISPE conference on Improving Productivity with Risk-Based Validation. The IT track of this event will focus on the prospect of validating “modern” technologies such as cloud service providers and virtualized server hardware. Yong Lee is on his way to Philadelphia for a conference on Interactive Response Technologies for the Clinical Trials. This should be a great venue for exchanging ideas on best practices in this specific application and to trade stories of success (and otherwise) Bob Murphy will have a virtual… Learn More

As CEO of Vision Point Systems, I am pleased to convey my thoughts regarding our new VoiceVision offering and website. VoiceVision is the product of nearly a decade of experience we've gained serving the needs of biopharmaceutical and clinical research companies in FDA-regulated environments. We sat down in 2010 to write down and distill everything we learned about best practices, what really works, client feedback, and common themes we encountered time and again. We wanted to create a service that just about any CXO, business stakeholder, and IT manager who manages voice-based customer-facing applications will find useful. What remains clear to us is that a technology that saw adoption by businesses over… Learn More
