the systems security and reliability vital for the provision of consistently efficient customer service PERFORMANCE YOU CAN DEPEND UPON Fast, efficient customer service has become increasingly important to the success of companies today Consumers now have little tolerance for poor or slow service, and will take their business elsewhere This trend has formed obvious concerns for businesses and has lead to the global growth and development of call centres with a view to increasing customer loyalty and satisfaction levels To lift the level of service and responsiveness of call centres to where they are today has required the constant implementation of new technologies and applications Although these technologies are often critical to the provision of timely and efficient customer service, rarely is much consideration given to the infrastructure upon which the reliability of these technologies depend - the structured cabling system Network downtime can be disastrous for a call centre, making it impossible for agents to access client files and handle customer queries, leaving customers inconvenienced and frustrated Few people realize that 70% of network downtime can be directly attributed to cabling faults Therefore, although the structured cabling system only represents around 5% of your IT investment, it pays to install a quality system that will give you peace of mind The ADC KRONE structured cabling solution does just that It far exceeds the Category 5 performance specified by the Australian Standard (AS/NZ 3080), and has been designed, tested and manufactured using the most stringent and exacting processes and procedures, ensuring maximum performance and dependability ADC KRONE has always strived to achieve the highest levels of quality – an attribute recognised and rewarded with ISO9001 certification PEACE OF MIND FOR THE FUTURE Call centres were initially set up by companies to improve their ability to respond to the large volume of incoming calls from customers This role has expanded considerably over time to include functions such as telesales, customer development, database management, and providing businesses with crucial information regarding their customers purchasing patterns and preferences As these functions have expanded so too have the number of new applications being introduced by call centre management to carry them out effectively For this reason when investing in a structured cabling system you need to think beyond the applications you are running today, and consider whether it will cope with the demands of emerging technologies The ADC KRONE structured cabling solution has the capacity to do both ADC KRONE experts can assist you to design a structured cabling solution that can support your computer network and all the applications of a modern call centre These include the Automatic Call Distributor (ACD), Interactive Voice Response system (IVR), ACD management information system,

to handle these and other developing applications COST SAVINGS THROUGH SYSTEMS INTEGRATION Not only can the ADC KRONE structured cabling solution support your network and call centre technologies, but

expense of installing and maintaining multiple wiring systems The integration of your building management and communications systems will reduce your facilities operating costs by 30%, allowing you to deliver customer service at a lower cost per transaction making your business more competitive and profitable That is a sizable financial benefit when you consider that a building’s operating costs

expenses by 30% each year, your company will have saved more money during the building’s life cycle than it cost to originally construct The benefits are not just financial An intelligent building allows building management services such as temperature control and lighting to be flexible and responsive to the needs of employees thereby creating a more comfortable working environment By creating
