“We added multichannel features, custom feedback metrics, and a new cloud-based deployment option to help our customers further reduce staffing costs, while improving their customers’ service experience,” said Bay Bridge (News - Alert) Division vice president of Interactive Intelligence, Ric Kosiba according to recent reports.

The new version of Bay Brdige Decisions 3.9 includes enhancements that further simplify and advance features. E-mail, chat, and casework features now enable managers to create timeframe defaults that calculate staffing over extended time periods.

In addition, they have also tacked on multichannel sensitivity analysis graphs for improved staffing efficiencies that result in lower costs. Their customer experience metrics have undergone enhancements that give managers custom feedback metrics, allowing them to measure net promoter scores. This can be factored into staffing to match hiring needs with interaction quality trends for better customer service.

Their cloud deployment option has also been enhanced. Customers can now deploy the full Bay Bridge Decisions 3.9 feature set from a cloud-based model for reduced initial costs. This allows for faster deployment and fewer IT requirements.
