Apropos Version 4 provides fully integrated multimedia capabilities that enable contact centre agents to manage all types of customer interactions - e-mail, Web chat and callback, and voice - in a single multimedia queue. This enterprise-class solution is designed specifically for the needs of both brick-and-mortar companies, and emerging dot.coms, enabling them to manage all of their customer interactions.
Using business-rules driven prioritisation and escalation for each interaction, companies can manage each interaction uniquely, based on the value of each interaction to the business. In addition, Apropos provides contact centre managers with realtime information on all interaction types to manage, control and report on contact centre activity. The decision management capabilities of Apropos allow contact centre managers to track and analyse contact center performance on a historical basis, identifying business trends and areas for improvement.
