Calls feature: a money-saving gem!
Since the start of the migration, calls made within Canada and the United States are free of charge. As per Michelle Beauchamp, Director, Student Recruitment, Admissions and Market development, her department will save a noticeable amount of money thanks to this feature since many of their calls are outside of Ottawa and to the United States.
Call-back feature: say goodbye to long call queues
Service Desk had 424 call-back requests out of 17,239 calls since their migration to the new contact centre solution. The call-back feature has been a great stress reliever for its clients, and by extension, the support agents. Callers can choose to have a call-back and do something else until their turn arrives. In addition, the callers keep their place in the queue, so they are not pushed back.
Note that callbacks are only activated when a threshold number of people are in the queue or when the estimated wait time exceeds 10 minutes.
Facts and figures
