QPC's Integration Layer (QIL) applications make it easy to share information and integrate solutions. This will enable you to quickly integrate new systems, make the most of legacy IT assets, create processes that leverage additional value from technology investments and reduce cost of operation by removing duplicated manual data entry. Within the contact centre QIL applications typically allow systems such as workforce management, quality monitoring, learning management, skills management, ACDs, contact routing frameworks, CRM, ERP and HCM to work together and share data.
Working with the QPC MIG, QPC's Back Office Management solutions will enable you to get productivity, handle time, service level and arrival rate information from existing processes, workflow systems and applications within your back office to enable performance management and workforce management:
QPC Desktop Connect - a simple way to integrate with existing systems at the desktop level, providing agent productivity and task handle time data. Desktop Connect also features additional tools to help you to understand and optimise your workflow processes, as well as easily integrate to desktop applications and enhance their functionality.
QPC Agent Activity Track (AAT) - enables agents to 'self declare' their availability to do work, the number of tasks they have completed within a period and the type of work they are doing.
QPC Work Management Centre (WMC) - typically collects arrival rate information for manual tasks, such as opening mail, via a web interface that prompts an administrator to input how many tasks have been completed within the previous period. Additionally QPC's WMC can also integrate with third party applications, such as email servers, to collect arrival rate information.
QPC provides 2 different types of training and development services that will offer real benefits for your employees, your business and your customers alike:

QPC provides expert consulting services to enable you to make better people, process and technology changes to align your contact handling organisation to both your operational and strategic objectives:
Strategy Realisation Consulting - Realisation consulting is intended for those who want to explore different ways to achieve their strategic objectives through macro changes to people, process and technology, and execute these plans successfully. Examples of Realisation Consulting include improving service through virtualisation, reducing costs through automated service and improving sales by migrating processes to new contact centres.
Strategy Realisation Consulting is led by Adrian Wilkinson, former head of TCC Global that was acquired by QPC recently. The new service is based on TCC's proven Elitium™ mathematical modelling software and VIABLE™ consulting methodology which have been used successfully by many of the world's leading customer service organisations to improve their businesses.
Operational Consulting - Operational consulting is intended for those who have already selected operational areas and business objectives that they would like to focus on. For example, improving performance through training and development, reducing costs with better resource planning or improving customer satisfaction with quality monitoring. Operational consulting can also help you explore the cost and service implications of changes to a number of operational areas at the same time so you can compare the likely outcomes and choose where to focus your improvement efforts.
The QPC MIG, and its peripheral applications, are part of an approach to managing information within the contact centre and customer service environment that we call Insight for Action™.
