Workforce
Management
To achieve even greater customer experience gains, a workforce engagement management solution
should be at the top of your list. A leading WEM solution will enable you to get a deeper, more
meaningful look at customer interactions and their impact on both the customer experience and
employees. The ability to capture, analyze and then act-on customer interaction intelligence will kick
start your customer experience initiatives into a higher gear.
The Avaya Workforce Engagement Management suite consists of applications that operate on a
unified platform, employ a common user interface and use a single database for:
• Call and Screen Recording
• Quality Management
• Customer Feedback
• Agent Coaching and eLearning
• Speech Analytics
• Desktop and Process Analytics
• Performance Management Scorecards
• Workforce Management for Forecasting and Scheduling Staff
Call Recording
With Avaya Call Recording, you can quickly search, replay, and report on calls by
topic, which can dramatically reduce cost and time required for call reviews. The
solution can even apply multiple tags to a single call — a benefit for long or complex
calls — and provide alerts based on call disposition thresholds.
Content-driven dashboards and intuitive reporting can help you gain a deeper
understanding on why customers are calling, so you can take action.
Because Avaya Call Recording is part of the Avaya Workforce Optimization suite, it
can work seamlessly with other solutions such as Quality Management, Workforce
Management, Speech Analytics and Desktop and Process Analytics to deliver unique
business process workflows that can deliver greater value to your organization.
This full-time, enterprise recording and archiving solution can help you enhance
compliance, reduce liability, and support customer engagement management.
7
Screen Recording
Screen recording is not only a critical necessity for internal and external regulatory
compliance and risk management, but it also plays a vital role in analyzing customer
interactions and improving the customer experience that your contact center
delivers.
Supervisors and managers are able to view the entire customer interaction while
watching/listening to synchronized screen and call recordings so they can gain a
8
better understanding of the entire customer journey including service operations,
business application processes and training opportunities.
8
Quality Management
Is your quality management program truly effective? If you’re relying on a handful of calls
per agent as the basis for evaluations and decision making, you may be overlooking
important opportunities for improvement — and doing your customers, agents, and
organization a disservice.
Automated Quality Management can automate the entire contact center quality process,
from scoring evaluations to assigning coaching. This innovative solution can automatically
score up to 100 percent of calls across all recorded phone interactions. This offers much
greater insight than you’d receive from a small sample of calls while enabling you to focus
your quality team on other activities that can add greater value to your business, such as
analyzing calls, evaluating compliance, and providing targeted coaching.
Avaya Automated Quality Management empowers your teams to introduce automation at your
own pace. Your teams have the option of autoscoring one or more questions on a limited basis or
autoscoring all of your questions on up to 100 percent of your recorded calls. This flexibility
empowers your organization to absorb the changes associated with automation as you derive its
benefits.

Performance
Management
Track, manage, and improve performance
Consolidates data from disparate systems
into actionable KPIs
Advanced scorecards display employee performance
Identify high and low performers
Quickly drill down on best and worst calls
Automatically trigger coaching lessons when
performance scores fall below set thresholds
Avaya Performance Management can capture and aggregate data across multiple
systems while providing a single, standardized framework for efficiently tracking,
managing, and improving individual, team, and organizational performance. The
solution provides Scorecards, Coaching, and eLearning capabilities that can work
together synergistically, helping your organization implement a continuous process
for performance management across the areas of the business that impact
customer experience.
With Avaya Performance Management, you can gain insight into what employees
are doing, how effectively they’re performing, and where they excel or need to
sharpen their skills. The solution can even trigger coaching and training sessions to
help them do so.
Using insight from the solution, you can tie the activities of individuals and teams to
10
company goals — and adjust training and processes as needed.

Workforce
Management
Plan, forecast and schedule employees
to meet service level and cost objectives
Balance shift patterns and service level
goals with employee skills, proficiencies
and preferences
Monitor intra-day trends and adherence
Supports inbound, outbound, blended media,
in-house, outsourced and virtual operations
Develop long-term plans for capacity,
staffing, hiring and vacation
In today’s contact center, the volume of calls, contacts, and work can be moving targets.
And when you factor in multiple sites, expanded media
options, staff proficiencies and preferences, complex work rules and types, and customer
expectations, the task of forecasting and scheduling can become difficult to manage
without sophisticated analysis.
Avaya Workforce Management can help simplify the complex task of forecasting and
scheduling, even with large numbers of employees, complex scheduling periods, and many
queues and staffing profiles. With Avaya Workforce Management, you can reduce costs by
staffing appropriately to meet your workload, drive business growth and operational
excellence, and improve employee effectiveness and retention.
Since staffing can account for up to 70 percent of your contact center operating costs, it’s
important to schedule and manage employees effectively. Avaya Workforce Management
can measure and leverage the talents and preferences of individuals, align their skills and
proficiencies with your business objectives and customer needs, and produce optimum
schedules.
As a result, you can reduce the risk of overstaffing, minimize overtime, provide employees
with the schedules they actually prefer, identify time-off opportunities, and reduce
shrinkage. What’s more, the solution can automate routine administrative tasks, freeing
supervisors to coach their staff.
12
Speech Analytics
Competitive advantage often depends on anticipating and addressing market needs faster
than your competition. And few things can tell you more about your business and market
than the voice of your customers.
Avaya Speech Analytics provides advanced functionality that can automatically surface
intelligence from thousands — even millions — of recorded calls, so you can take action
quickly. This next-generation analytics solution can reveal the intelligence essential for
pinpointing cost drivers, trends, and opportunities; identifying strengths and weaknesses
with processes and products; and understanding how your offerings are perceived by the
marketplace.
Avaya Speech Analytics can provide sophisticated conversational analytics to automatically
identify, group, and organize the words and phrases spoken during calls into themes,
helping to reveal rising trends and areas of opportunity or concern. Going beyond merely
isolating words used repeatedly during a specific time period, Avaya’s conversational
analytics can identify and group words that are different, but contextually related to a
particular topic, such as relating overage, minutes of usage, and late charges to “fees.”
With this innovative functionality, you can quickly build categories that reflect current
customer issues and concerns across thousands of calls, helping you take action right away.
You don’t even need to tell Avaya Speech Analytics what to look for — the solution can
identify themes automatically, continually refine them, and add new themes over
time. It’s a practical and powerful way to help business users continually stay on top of
customer perceptions and what’s being said during calls.
Finally Avaya Speech Analytics can be helpful in revealing occurrences of non-compliance and
13
fraud across 100 percent of phone interactions.
13
Customer Feedback
Customers and employees are some of the best sources of information to help grow your business. But
passively “listening” to them is not enough. To gain the greatest benefit, you need to proactively engage
them and use their input to drive enterprise action and accountability.
Avaya Customer Feedback can help you engage your customers and employees to capture, analyze, track,
and act on their feedback in a closed-loop process across the organization. Designed specifically for business
users, this flexible, scalable solution delivers multichannel surveying for capturing customer input across
telephone, email, web, SMS, and mobile channels.
It’s easy to create surveys — just choose from a selection of industry best-practices templates, import
questions from Microsoft Word, or use the solution’s flexible editor to build your own.
The solution can trigger alerts based on selected criteria, such as low promoter scores, and assign, prioritize,
and monitor cases automatically. This can help you ensure timely responses and balanced workloads,
diagnose issues, collaboratively plan a best course of action, and communicate with customers throughout
the process.
Sometimes survey results prompt even more questions. Why did the customer rate their experience that
way? Why did they leave that comment? What happened during their experience? By linking the recorded
conversation with the survey you are able to go back and replay the interaction and put into context the
reason for the customer’s responses.
Having captured data, you can turn it into actionable results using real-time dashboards, analytics, and
reporting. You can easily aggregate and track data across all surveys, different types of surveys, and various
time periods in a single view. You can even track data by individual customer. This insight can help you unify
disparate approaches, systems, and survey processes to facilitate targeted, informed business decisions. And
you can automatically export survey data via a scheduled file export process, so that it can be imported into
external systems.

measured, analyzed, and refined, the solution can help your contact center improve
efficiency, reduce costs and liability, and enhance the overall customer experience.
Avaya Desktop and Process Analytics offers functionality to help centers protect private
information, limit liability, and gain visibility
into non-phone activities by:

information
Mobile devices have become an accepted — and even preferred — way for
employees to communicate and perform their jobs. With more and more
organizations adopting “bring your own device” (BYOD) policies in the workplace, it
just makes sense to empower your staff with the ability to manage key aspects of
their jobs directly from their devices.
Mobile WFO is a native mobile application that extends the functionality of Avaya
Workforce Optimization by providing mobile-enabled employees with anytime,
anywhere access to important schedule information, along with capabilities for
requesting schedule changes. Available for Apple iOS and Android-based devices,
this practical solution can enable your organization to:
16
improve.
• Increase employee satisfaction by empowering individuals to use desktop systems,
tablets, and smartphones to execute their most frequently performed activities.
• Extend mobile capabilities to employees without compromising on data security
by preventing private information from app-related interactions from being stored
on the device.

Cloud Solution
Overview
17
Cloud Adoption Keeps Expanding
2018 Cloud Computing Survey; IDG Communications, Inc. @ 2020 Avaya, Inc. All rights reserved
Cloud technology is quickly becoming the default at companies of all sizes. Nine out
of ten companies have already moved at least some of their applications or
computing infrastructure to the cloud or plan to do so in the next 12 months.
IT spending reflects this trend, with the average investment in cloud rising nearly
36% from two years ago.
Software as a Service (SaaS) is still the most common cloud service model across
companies of all sizes; 89% of companies use it somewhere in their IT environment.
CRM, collaboration, line of business, and mobile apps are currently most likely to
use the SaaS model for deployment.
18
Top Business Goals Driving Cloud
Investments
Despite years of discussion about the cloud as a source of cost savings; the primary
reason for cloud investments is to enable IT to meet business demands for speed,
agility, and responsiveness.
Asked to rank their top business goals or objectives most responsible for driving
investments in cloud computing initiatives, they most often cited improving the
speed of IT service delivery, increasing flexibility to react to changing market
conditions, enabling business continuity, and improving customer support and
services.

The good news is that when customer engagement is done right; the benefit and payoff
can keep customers loyal, generate more revenue and send significant profit to the bottom
line.
According to a “Customer Experience and Your Bottom Line” research report, organizations
that deliver exceptional customer experiences routinely outperform their competition.

What is required on Customer Site?
• Migration Considerations
• Migration of data from on prem to cloud is not provided. If access to
old recording are needed customer should maintain their old ACR.
• AES Licenses - the required TSAPI and/or DMCC licenses are bundled
into the base CR, QM and WFO Package prices. No separate AES
licensing purchases are required.
• When to deploy in Hybrid mode?
• The determining consideration is ultimately the telephony system
topology. In almost all cases, the recommendation is to collocate the
Recording, RIS, and Transcription Servers with the ACD.
• Group Elite is glad to explore all design permutations beyond that
recommendation to uncover the most optimal design for each
particular customer deployment.
