With OpenSpan, Afni agents access multiple business applications via a single seamless interface, workflow is more intuitive, agent training and call times have been reduced while call volume has increased. “By integrating and automating processes from older legacy applications as well as our customers’ applications, OpenSpan has helped us eliminate manual errors, simplify desktop workflows and improve service quality,” said Mike Garner, vice president of call center services at Afni. “The OpenSpan Platform enables us to bring the business logic of our legacy applications to the desktop, empower our agents with automated tasks that save time and help improve overall customer service ratings. OpenSpan Platform v3.0 will enable us to continue our application integration and process automation projects on more desktops across our enterprise.” Afni determined that the OpenSpan Platform reduced handling times by an average of 53 seconds per call for experienced agents and more than 300 seconds per call for new agents. The company also experienced a 20 percent reduction in training requirements and a 15 percent reduction in transfers, as new agents are now better equipped to resolve customer issues.
