ATLANTA—July 26, 2012—Knowlagent, a leading intraday management solution for the world’s 10 million call center agents, today announced its RightTime enabled integration with the Workforce Management Software Group’s (WFMSG) Community Workforce Management Solution. RightTime enables call centers to utilize unproductive idle time to increase agent productivity and performance.

This integration of RightTime and Community WFM transforms slivers of idle time occurring naturally within the call center environment into productive sessions for call center agents to complete activities that would otherwise require scheduled time away from call handling. Agents complete off-phone work from a personalized and prioritized activity queue which includes coaching, training or back-office work.

“Community WFM is ideally designed to readily integrate with other contact center technologies and is one of the primary advantages our customers enjoy when investing in our best of breed solution,” said Daryl Gonos, principal for sales and marketing at WFMSG. “Our seamless integration with RightTime is a perfect example of how tight technology integration extends value to a customer on readily compatible platforms.”

RightTime works in conjunction with the automatic call distributor (ACD) and the Community WFM solution to dynamically respond to call volume, eliminating the need to “hard-schedule” many off-phone activities. RightTime imports agent schedules ensuring task sessions are delivered only during acceptable time periods and do not conflict with scheduled activities such as lunch, break or end of shift. When RightTime finds time and delivers sessions, changes to the schedule are written back to Community WFM to prevent adherence issues.

Customers leverage the combined solution for many purposes; from driving specific KPI improvements to streamlining administrative tasks. Examples include:

• One customer increased throughput of training delivery by 400 percent, compared to manually scheduled sessions
• Another customer lifted First Call Resolution rates from 63 percent to 70 percent
• A customer implemented sessions to proactively reset application passwords and decreased IT help desk tickets by 70 percent

“Studies show that agents spend a total of 17 hours each month in unproductive idle time. Fluctuations in call volume make idle time impossible to use without this integration,” said Matt McConnell, chief executive officer of Knowlagent. “With RightTime enabled Community WFM solutions, our clients can find as much as 49 minutes a day for agents to complete activities that bring a new level of productivity into the call center and help with customer experience improvements.”
