Electric Insurance, DHL, Sallie Mae and Salt River Project among industry leaders using NICE to harness Customer Dynamics by uncovering customer intent and gathering strategic insights to impact interactions and business performance
RA`ANANA, ISRAEL, March 3, 2010 - NICE Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: NICE), a leading global provider of advanced solutions that enable enterprises and security organizations to extract Insight from Interactions, transactions and surveillance to drive business performance, reduce risk and ensure safety, today unveiled a new methodology for optimizing Customer Dynamics, the ongoing exchange of information, ideas, opinions and commerce that occurs between businesses and customers, via various touch points, including phone, email, chat, and social media. The NICE methodology and tools allow companies in all industries, including those with the most complex customer interactions environments, to capture customer intent across channels, rapidly analyze the information to gain insights and apply the insights to strengthen customer loyalty and make the organization more profitable and efficient. Electric Insurance, DHL, Sallie Mae and Salt River Project are among the industry leaders that are already using the NICE SmartCenter suite to harness Customer Dynamics. NICE and CRMxchange will hold a webcast on Customer Dynamics on March 25, 2010. CRMxchange is a leading online resource for information on customer service contact management, marketing and sales. For more information, please see http://www.crmxchange.com/webcast/customer_intent/nicefeb10.asp.
"The ability of an enterprise to understand the customer and optimize the dynamics between customer and enterprise as the interaction is happening sets it apart from the competition," said Michael Maoz, Research Vice President and Distinguished Analyst at industry analyst firm Gartner. "It can make the difference between becoming an effective company with a loyal customer base or remaining an industry laggard. To discover the "voice of the customer" - the sentiment and opinions that shape customer behavior -- leading organizations analyze interactions across multiple channels, including mobile devices and social networks outside of their direct control."
The dynamic between customers and organizations - Customer Dynamics - is rich, complex, and difficult to manage. According to the NICE benchmark of contact center business and technology trends[1], this phenomenon will only become more complex in the future. The benchmark revealed that more than 40 percent of survey respondents expect the volume of customer interactions to increase, including phone interactions and those driven by the availability and maturation of alternate communication channels, such as chat, text messaging and web self-service. NICE has developed the `Intent-to-Insight-to-Impact` methodology, which is enabled by its NICE SmartCenter suite and tools, to optimize Customer Dynamics. The new methodology is based on NICE`s domain expertise, founded on extensive experience working with thousands of companies around the world.
"Today, more than ever, it is a business imperative for companies to understand and take charge of Customer Dynamics to generate tangible business value," said Dan Yalon, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer at NICE. "In fact, we believe that optimizing Customer Dynamics will be a major competitive differentiator for companies in 2010 and beyond. Customer Dynamics optimization is a new approach that can solve the dual challenge of today`s enterprises -- make your customers loyal and satisfied, and make your business efficient and profitable."
The companies already using the NICE methodology and NICE SmartCenter suite to optimize Customer Dynamics include Electric Insurance Company, a leading U.S. national provider of personal lines insurance products, DHL Russia, Sallie Mae, the leading U.S. provider of saving, planning and paying for education programs, Salt River Project, the third-largest public power utility in the United States.
"Electric Insurance has seen major operational improvements driven by the insights we have gained from tapping into our Customer Dynamics," said Kimberly Koury, Vice President of Contact Center Operations, Electric Insurance. "The ability to better understand the intent of our customers and serve them better, while improving our business processes and our bottom line is incredibly valuable."
"As a result of our ability to understand and leverage Customer Dynamics, we are seeing a potential to positively impact our business throughout, with improvements both to our operations and in our relationships with customers, as well as in increased revenue," said Kimberly Steele, Director, Quality and Business Analytics, Sallie Mae. "For instance, we have identified targeted areas in which to reduce call volumes, decrease average call length times, and improve our self-service systems. Doing so will allow our agents to focus on calls with higher up-sell and cross-sell potential, and improve the overall customer experience. In the end, this should create happier customers, and a streamlined and efficient business."
"NICE has provided us with a window into our Customer Dynamics - the interactions between SRP and our customers, and has allowed us to take charge of it," said Brandon Whiting, Manager, Call Center Operations & Support, Salt River Project. "This gives us insight into the reasons why customers call back multiple times. Based on that insight, we can make the necessary adjustments that positively impact not only our customers' experience, but also improve our ability to function more efficiently and cost effectively."
"Being able to optimize Customer Dynamics is one of our most successful strategic initiatives," said Natalia Kabakova, head of customer service at DHL Russia, a long-time NICE customer and the leading provider of express and logistics transportation and delivery solutions in the country. "Using the NICE solutions for some time now, at the contact center level we have been able to enrich the experience of our customers through world-class customer service. At the organizational level, we have been able to achieve unprecedented efficiency in how we deliver customer service, and more importantly - we can now be proactive in our customer-centric, profit-generating growth initiatives."
"NICE`s methodology and solutions help companies turn the untapped asset of Customer Dynamics into fuel for growth," continued Yalon. "Our approach is based on expertise we have developed over the past 24 years, helping thousands of enterprises around the world, in every vertical industry to create value from customer interactions. NICE SmartCenter is unique in powering Customer Dynamics optimization -- it captures interactions across channels, in different environments - contact center, branches, and the back office, and uses cross-channel interaction analytics to extract insights. It uncovers hidden opportunities for cross-sell and up-sell, it improves the customer experience, and addresses key operational aspects of the contact center workforce, such as skill assessment, coaching and performance management. The result is tangible business value in the areas of compliance, operational efficiency, customer experience and revenue generation."

NICE Adds Real-Time Analytics-Based Capabilities to its NICE SmartCenter Suite, Further Powering Customer Dynamics Optimization
Leveraging cross-channel analytics, Real-time Guidance enables optimization of key business processes, to significantly improve customer satisfaction, sales and marketing effectiveness, compliance with regulations, and operational efficiency
RA`ANANA, ISRAEL, March 4, 2010 - NICE Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: NICE), a leading global provider of advanced solutions that enable enterprises and security organizations to extract Insight from Interactions, transactions and surveillance to drive business performance, reduce risk and ensure safety, today announced the availability of real-time analytics-based capabilities, adding to recently announced cross-channel analytics capabilities of its NICE SmartCenter suite of business solutions. The new NICE Real-time Guidance, available with the latest release of the NICE SmartCenter, provides "next best action" recommendations to the agent in real time during a phone or chat interaction with a customer, helping to enhance the customer experience, maximize sales, reduce churn and ensure compliance with policies and regulations. In a related announcement yesterday, NICE unveiled a new systematic approach for optimizing Customer Dynamics to generate maximum business value from customer interactions.
Real-time Guidance, which leverages NICE`s cross-channel analytics capabilities, strengthens the NICE SmartCenter suite as an industry-leading offering enabling companies to optimize Customer Dynamics, the complex, ongoing interchange between companies and customers. Optimizing Customer Dynamics allows enterprises in all industries to build customer loyalty, as well as maximize profitability and ensure regulatory compliance.
"Being able to conduct real-time analysis of interaction-related data and deliver real-time guidance to contact center agents is an important consideration when trying to optimize customer interactions," said Jim Davies, Research Director, at analyst and advisory firm Gartner. "This capability impacts efforts to improve the customer experience as well as improving operational efficiency and sales results."
NICE Real-time Guidance is a key enabler of NICE's closed-loop systematic approach to harness Customer Dynamics, which captures customer intent, applies cross-channel analytics to uncover insights and turns insights into impact. Insights garnered through contact center processes and solutions such as quality monitoring, cross-channel interaction analytics, and performance management, as well as those gathered in real time during the interaction, via desktop applications, can now be applied to impact customer interactions as they occur, and ultimately, a company`s business performance.
This is accomplished by triggering and presenting to the agent, in real time, context-sensitive recommendations and information that may be required according to business rules, empowering agents to take the right actions at the right time during an interaction with a customer. The result is tangible business value in the areas of compliance, operational efficiency, customer experience, and revenue generation.
NICE`s Real-time Guidance leverages customizable business rules to deliver information directly to the agent`s screen. It is an integral part of the NICE SmartCenter suite`s packaged business solutions, including:
● Customer Experience: By leveraging insights from cross-channel analytics, agents receive a holistic view of the customer`s prior interactions with the organization, coupled with the relevant and appropriate instructions as to the next steps to be taken. As a result of receiving these real-time instructions, agents can enhance the quality of service provided to customers, as well as their own quality scores.
● Sales Effectiveness: Real-time Guidance provides information to the agent regarding which offering is best suited to the customer`s needs and preferences, as well as guidance for handling customer objections. This information is driven by both the agent`s and customer`s profiles (based on evaluations and CRM data, respectively), as well as information gathered during the interaction. Presenting customers with the right offers at the right time helps to increase sales conversion rates and reduces churn.
● Compliance: After offline analytics uncover whether or not agents are providing a clear explanation of liabilities to customers, and after identifying which agents require support, Real-time Guidance delivers a dynamic script directly to the agent`s desktop, with instructions that are based on the specific profiles of the agent and customer as well as the context of the call, thereby improving compliance and decreasing liability risk.
● Operational Efficiency: Delivering personalized, real-time instructions to agents that are directly related to the context of the specific interaction enables them to resolve issues more efficiently - improving First Contact Resolution (FCR) and Average Handle Time (AHT), among other performance indicators.
"NICE continues to push the envelope when it comes to technology leadership," said Udi Ziv, president, Enterprise Group, NICE. "More and more companies around the world are leveraging our analytics-based offering as they move away from siloed to enterprise-wide deployments to extract business value from interactions. This introduction of the all-important real-time capability, positions the NICE suite as far-and-away the industry-leading tool to help companies optimize Customer Dynamics. Real-time Guidance is unique in enabling organizations to create a positive impact during the moment of contact with the customer, when it matters most. By closing the loop on key business improvement processes, we are further advancing our strategy to help our customers harness their Customer Dynamics, to differentiate themselves, and expand their business with top-line and bottom-line improvements."

Teleperformance Deploys NICE SmartCenter Interaction Analytics In a Multi-Million Dollar Deal, to Harness Customer Dynamics to Improve Service Levels and Profitability
UK Outsourcer expands implementation of NICE SmartCenter suite to six additional sites to help clients boost customer satisfaction and loyalty, while reducing contact center operational costs
RA`ANANA, ISRAEL, March 25, 2010 - NICE Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: NICE), a leading global provider of advanced solutions that enable enterprises and security organizations to extract Insight from Interactions, transactions and surveillance to drive business performance, reduce risk and ensure safety, today announced that a leading UK outsourcer, Teleperformance has expanded its NICE SmartCenter deployment, in a multi-million dollar deal, by adding NICE Interaction Analytics business solutions to existing implementations of NICE call recording, quality management and workforce management. The NICE analytics-based solutions will help Teleperformance`s clients gain a better understanding of their customers` needs to enhance customer experience and boost loyalty, while reducing operational costs. Teleperformance UK is part of Teleperformance Group, a leading global contact center outsourcer which is using NICE SmartCenter solutions at 13 sites throughout Europe, including the UK.
Teleperformance, one of the UK's leading providers of outsourced contact center solutions, delivers services such as customer acquisition, back office, debt collection, and technical support to leading companies in the financial services, telecoms, utilities, and public sectors. With NICE SmartCenter, Teleperformance will capture customer interactions, analyze them to extract hidden insights, and apply those insights to impact and strengthen customer relationships, thus helping clients harness Customer Dynamics to generate business value.
"Every single customer interaction, including those that focus on customer service issues, is an opportunity - it`s a chance to extend the customer lifecycle and increase value to our clients," said Rachel Robinson, Divisional Managing Director at Teleperformance UK. "We decided to expand our implementation of NICE SmartCenter to its broad analytics offering to enable us to hone in on relevant and important calls so that we can immediately pinpoint issues that impact customer satisfaction as well as improve operational efficiency. In fact, during the pilot phase, it took us only one month to improve quality scores with a leading customer by nearly 13 percent."
"This sizeable expansion by Teleperformance, a leading European outsourcer and a longtime NICE customer, reflects the growing trend of companies coming to NICE to help them address their most strategic business issues," said Udi Ziv, president of NICE Enterprise Product Group. "One of the most pressing business issues is harnessing Customer Dynamics, the ongoing interchange between customers and organizations, which is rich, complex and difficult to manage, let alone manage well. NICE SmartCenter is the ideal solution suite to help companies harness Customer Dynamics by tapping into customer intent, attitudes and needs hidden in interactions, and turning this information into insight for optimizing every customer interaction across multiple channels. This enables companies to enhance the customer experience, increase profitability, mitigate risk, and improve operational efficiency."
Teleperformance will be implementing NICE Interaction Analytics, along with NICE Quality Optimizer, Customer Feedback and Desktop Analytics at the company`s six UK sites.
