How Automation Turned a Telemarketing Service Bureau into a $10 Million Organization
Article Abstract:
The NICE Corporation has developed a telecommunications and hardware system that makes employees more productive than at other service bureaus. One key is the digital PBX system that displays the trunk line of incoming calls. As the development of NICE Corporation indicates, hardware applications have meant real growth for the company. The company can handle up to 6000 calls per hour. The company uses automatic billing, phone number retention and automatic call distribution. Data bases of standard information, such as zip codes, are also available to each operator. Speed alone has meant tremendous growth for NICE.
