Unleashing the potential of the “network of networks”

The PSN has all the right intentions and the initiative should be applauded for that. Yet, at the same time, its potential stretches far beyond cost savings and simplified procurement. It could, and should, be viewed as a beacon of innovation that can enable collaboration, the realisation of true shared services and one that can drive a common compliance process across the sector.

Is the contact centre ready for today’s consumer?

The contact centre market is experiencing increased pressure to rise to more complex customer demands in a harsh market. I want to explore these demands and ask if investment in new technology is the key to meeting these demands.

It is now two months since Hurricane Sandy barrelled up the east coast of the US and caused such devastation to the New York metropolitan area.  The loss of life and the damage to buildings and infrastructure is well documented – the final bill of which is expected to top $100bn, roughly the equivalent to the direct damages caused by the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

What isn’t as well documented is the equally significant impact this storm had on the phone and communication services in and around New York, and what lessons must be learned from this.  … Read More
