AUDENTIFY AND STEVENS PROVIDE STATE-OF-THE-ART CONTACT CENTER SOLUTION FOR WE ENERGIES
Autonomy's Audentify Enables Wisconsin Utility Company to Better Serve Customers Through Improved Contact Center Assistance
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - March 8, 2004 - Audentify, a division of Autonomy Corporation plc (Nasdaq: AUTN; LSE: AU.) that develops next-generation contact center technology, and Stevens Communications, a well-established leading business solutions integrator for contact centers, have joined forces to improve contact center performance for We Energies. We Energies, a principal utility subsidiary of Wisconsin Energy Corp., will use Audentify to find calls for agent skill assessment and fraud investigation.
Worldwide, contact centers are facing the challenge of decreasing operating costs while improving agent productivity and increasing customer satisfaction. Companies are rising to this challenge by using a solution that can understand the content and context of all customer interactions. Using intelligent data management capabilities and high-precision voice recognition, Audentify monitors and records calls or e-mails between agents and customers, delivering agent assistance and identifying potential problems. We Energies leverages these capabilities to track its agents' calls and subsequently coach and provide feedback for better customer service. Audentify also understands structured and unstructured information and automates call processes, further enabling We Energies to offer the highest level of customer service.
"One corporate objective of We Energies is to be recognized as a provider of the best customer service in the industry," said Steve Kelly, group leader, communications technology, We Energies. "Our management team felt that Stevens and Autonomy offer the most comprehensive resources to help us align with this corporate objective, as their respective reputations are impressive and their expertise in the industry is unmatched."
"To the credit of the contact center leadership team at We Energies, they saw the compelling need to move beyond the call and to address all facets of the customer experience to accomplish their stated mission," said Steve Kaiser president and chief executive officer, Stevens Communications, Inc. "With the deployment of Audentify, immediate improvement to customer service and employee productivity was achieved, but more importantly, the foundation was put in place for We Energies to effectively and efficiently promote continuous and sustainable customer service improvement that is aligned with their corporate strategy."
"In choosing Stevens and Audentify, We Energies continues their commitment to quality customer service in all of its contact centers," said Stouffer Egan, chief executive officer, Autonomy U.S. "Audentify's speech analytics and textual agent assistance and Stevens' reputation as a solutions integrator for contact centers will positively impact the company's performance metrics and will help them achieve their corporate objectives."
