Enabling a World-Class Multi-Channel Contact Center

July 16, 2016 / Evolve IP

With Millennials and Generation X increasingly relying on voice, chat and text to interact with customer service, multi-channel support has become an almost defacto standard for advanced call centers.

Evolve IP has partnered with Zendesk, a market leader in Customer Support engagement to not only offer a rich multi-channel solution, but to provide advanced customer support functionality including ticketing, self-service, surveys, analytics, and a very extensible “app ecosystem”.

A small browser extension integrates the Evolve IP hosted phone and call center platform with the Zendesk platform to offer an unparalleled customer service solution. Here are 7 reasons to look deeper into Evolve IP’s contact center with Zendesk integration.

  • Businesses need to offer world-class voice quality of service to their customers!  Voice is still the dominant channel of choice for customer service and is offered by 91% of businesses.  In a recent survey customers gave Voice interactions an 88% satisfaction rating. (http://www.callcenter-iq.com/customer-experience/white-papers/2016-executive-report-on-customer-experience)
  • The best organizations allow customers to interact over their preferred communication channel (email, chat, web, call, mobile app, etc.) Customer interactions will span channels especially when the customer is offered the ability to select the channel they think has the most value. Forrester shares that customer continue to pick up the phone! (Forrester http://blogs.forrester.com/kate_leggett/16-01-06-forresters_top_trends_for_customer_service_in_2016)
  • Zendesk excels at giving your agents a single view to Chat, Email and Social tickets into one view.  Evolve IP adds Enterprise Voice capabilities to your organization whose interactions are seamlessly integrated into that same view.
  • You deserve the best and Gartner has given top marks to both Zendesk and Evolve IP.  Not only do both organizations empower you with the ability to deliver great service, both are highly customizable via open APIs or pre-built apps that extend the standard functionality. (https://www.zendesk.com/resources/gartner-magic-quadrant-crm/)
  • Put your customers first by embedding Click to Call and chat in your website and in your apps.  Embedding these capabilities makes the customers experience even easier when they need to reach you.
  • You can be up and running in 60 days!  Evolve IP and Zendesk are nimble to implement and you’ll be taking calls and seeing tickets in Zendesk quickly.
  • Coupling the Enterprise Voice solutions from Evolve IP with Zendesk’s customer service platform makes it simple and easy for your agent’s to deliver service across any channel.  Happy agents means better interactions resulting in satisfied customers.

Evolve IP offers all that, plus broad financial services industry experience and a pedigree of providing first-rate service to support growth and continually enhance the entire member experience.”

HITRUST

Evolve IP is proud to have achieved the honor of being HITRUST CSF certified! Certification to the HITRUST Common Security Framework (CSF) affirms that all of Evolve IP’s cloud computing and cloud communications services adhere to the strictest security standards for electronic protected health information (PHI). The HITRUST security standard was developed by and for the healthcare industry as a means of going above and beyond the compliance requirements of HIPAA.

The HITRUST Common Security Framework (CSF) was developed to address the multitude of security, privacy and regulatory challenges facing healthcare organizations. The HITRUST CSF was developed by healthcare and IT professionals to provide an efficient and prescriptive framework for managing the security requirements inherent in HIPAA. HITRUST CSF rationalizes healthcare-relevant regulations and standards into a single overarching security framework. An important part of the “What is HITRUST” answer is understanding that the CSF is risk-based and compliance-based so that organizations can tailor the security control baselines and vendor management programs that they follow based on their specific organization type, size, systems, and regulatory requirements.

HIPPA

The Privacy regulations of the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) require health care providers, organizations, and their business associates, develop and follow procedures that ensure the confidentiality and security of protected health information (PHI) when it is transferred, received, handled, or shared. This applies to all forms of PHI — paper, oral, and electronic, etc. Those who fail to adhere to HIPAA can suffer from huge fines climbing into the millions of dollars for major violations.

The Compliance Cloud™ fully enables covered entities and their business associates subject to HIPAA regulations to leverage a secure environment to process, maintain, and store protected health Information (PHI) featuring among other controls.

SSAW 16 Service Organization Control II (SOC 2)

Evolve IP has received an SSAE 16 SOC 2 Type II report on our internal controls relating to how we assess and address the potential risks associated with the security, availability, and confidentiality of not only the cloud-based services that we provide, but also our physical and logical infrastructure. Evolve IP utilizes the Certified Public Accounting firm of Grant Thornton to perform its annual audit and attestation in accordance with the Statements on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 16 and the associated Trust Services Principles, as published by the AICPA, to evaluate the effectiveness of Evolve IP’s service organizations controls.

Forbes

While Forbes regularly features coverage and recognition about Evolve IP, they've most recently recognized Evolve IP as being the "Best Cloud Computing Companies And CEOs To Work For In 2017".  They've ranked Evolve IP in the Top 3 just behind Google and Microsoft in the Cloud Infrastructure classification.  (Feb 2017). Forbes  also recently recognizes Evolve IP for bringing Singer Equipment Corporation, a mainstream business based in PA, into the cloud by means of unified communication. (Sept  2017). Last year, Forbes recognized Evolve IP's survey of 1,080 executives citing that the number one reason to go to the cloud is the same reason that it is avoided. (Mar 2016).

Unified Communications Product of the Year

TMC and Internet Telephony Magazine have named Evolve IP’s unified communications platform as a 2017 Unified Communications Product of the Year Award winner. This marks the 6th time Evolve IP has been honored with this prestigious award and follows a series of product innovations that have allowed the company to rapidly expand its international coverage.

Evolve IP’s business collaboration tools and IP phone system dramatically improve employee productivity in the office and on the road with a Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) platform that fully integrates voice, video, instant messaging & presence (IM&P), desktop sharing, audio/web conferencing and more. The company also provides a sophisticated Web-based management portal, OSSmosis®, that allows administrators to easily configure system functions and quickly modify users without the need to reach out to a third party for changes.

Inc.

Inc. magazine has recognized Evolve IP in the 34th annual Inc. 500|5000, an exclusive listing of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list will be unveiled in the September issue of Inc.

The story of this year's Inc. 5000 is the story of great leadership. In an incredibly competitive business landscape, it takes something extraordinary to take your company to the top," says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. "You have to remember that the average company on the Inc. 5000 grew nearly six-fold since 2012. Business owners don't achieve that kind of success by accident.

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)

Evolve IP has achieved Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) compliance covering all 12 sections of the PCI DSS. The PCI data security standard is a comprehensive set of standards that require merchants and service providers that store, process, or transmit customer payment card data to adhere to strict information security controls and processes. It was created by the founding brands of the PCI Security Standards Council, which includes American Express, Discover Financial, JCB International, MasterCard Worldwide, and Visa Inc.

CSA STAR

Evolve IP is also a registered and participating member of the CSA Security, Trust & Assurance Registry (STAR). The CSA was formed to encourage transparency of security practices within cloud providers. It is a free, publicly accessible registry that documents the security controls provided by various cloud computing offerings, thereby helping users assess the security of cloud providers they currently use or are considering contracting with. CSA STAR is open to all cloud providers, and allows them to submit assessment reports that document compliance to CSA published best practices. The searchable registry will allow potential cloud customers to review the security practices of providers, accelerating their due diligence and leading to higher quality procurement experiences. CSA STAR represents a major leap forward in industry transparency, encouraging providers to make security capabilities a market differentiator.
