Onyx Software and Interactive Intelligence Deliver Integrated CRM and Contact Center Solution
Software connector provides integration between Onyx Employee Portal and Customer Interaction Center®
Under this agreement, the two companies are delivering a connector between the latest version of Onyx Employee Portal, a Web-based CRM solution that consolidates customer information, and Interactive Intelligence's Customer Interaction Center® (CIC), a contact center automation software product that includes applications such as automatic call distribution, interactive voice response and Web chat.
This agreement formalizes a long-standing relationship between Onyx and Interactive Intelligence that has resulted in successful joint implementations at more than a dozen customer sites, including Amway Korea, Netegrity, and Sony Music Entertainment.
Netegrity installed an integrated Onyx and Interactive Intelligence solution to enhance its customer support offerings around the world. The solution has helped the company to realize tremendous return on investment, including:
- 45 percent increase in its case volume - without increasing staff
- 18 percent increase in overall customer satisfaction
- 35 percent decrease in time to resolve cases
- 40 percent decrease in backlogged cases
"With more than a dozen customers already realizing the benefits of an Onyx/ Interactive Intelligence solution, businesses can be confident that they're getting, not just the most advanced technology, but a solution that's delivered by proven market leaders," said Dr. Donald E. Brown, president and chief executive officer for Interactive Intelligence.
The Onyx/Interactive Intelligence connector was designed to enable customers to quickly and easily integrate the two solutions, thus minimizing installation time and simplifying maintenance. According to the two companies, the integrated solution provides a single interface linking the call interaction and skill-based routing information into the customer data screens in Onyx, resulting in increased productivity and enhanced customer service.
"Our relationship with Interactive Intelligence is fundamentally about saving our customers time, and increasing productivity in the contact center," said Ben Kiker, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for Onyx. "Both computer telephony and CRM are powerful on their own, but the sum is greater than the parts. Together, Onyx and Interactive Intelligence make it possible to create relevant, personalized customer experiences throughout the contact center, while reducing operational costs."
