UAE UAE Addressing Dubai Police has selected Avanza Solutions’ Unison 2.0 to power and streamline its non-emergency contact centre operations. Dubai Police receives millions of calls every year, emergency and non-emergency, creating a potential challenges to efficient and effective delivery of a critical service. In order to have a streamlined response strategy, Dubai Police had separated their emergency and non-emergency contact centre so that response times for emergencies could be minimised as much as possible. However, the non-emergency contact centre is also a crucial service, and the police has implemented Unision customer experience management solution to effectively manage the large volume of queries it receives. Queries, calls and interactions arrive through different touch-points and channels including social media, emails, web chat, and the call centre itself – all of which are important for Dubai Police to respond to. Avanza’s Unison solution provides a one-window solution where operators can intercept and respond to queries being made from any of these channels. www.intelligentcio.com INTELLIGENTCIO 21
