Last month, we talked about how KPIs can help you measure whether your contact center is meeting business objectives. We also covered a few KPIs that are generally accepted as core measures of service levels in a contact center: first call resolution, telephone service factor, and abandon rates. Now, we’ll look more closely at KPIs for more specific contact center service models.
'Recently I had the pleasure of collaborating with Sharon Shaw, Director of Education for the PSA Security Network, Daniel Brault, Founder and President of Electro Specialty Systems (ESS), and Karen L. Baker, Senior Vice President, The Protection Bureau, on a panel discussion at ISC West about how to make IP video projects profitable. The session was well attended and the discussion spirited.
If your organization is seeing call center workload patterns that are somewhat different than in similar historical months and years, you’re not alone. And the reasons – the economy, changes in customer behavior, etc. – are certainly no mystery. Unfortunately, many managers rely on metrics that are summarized over overly-large blocks of time and lose visibility of problem areas.
AI adoption is reshaping sales and marketing. But is it delivering real results? We surveyed 1,000+ GTM professionals to find out.

Welcome. Here at TASKE, we’ve decided to take the plunge into the world of blogging. Why? Well over the years, we’ve learned through hands-on experience what drives successful contact centers: how they measure performance, adapt operations to new technologies, and resolve issues before they become crises. A blog, we felt, would give us a way to share what we’ve learned with a wider audience than the people we work with on a day-to-day basis.
