Contact Center Optimization — Analytics, Quality Assurance, and Workforce Management
Contact center optimization is the combination of analytics, quality assurance, and workforce management that lowers cost per contact while improving the customer's experience. Andrew Reise is a consulting firm that designs and runs these programs inside live contact centers, working with whatever platform the client already has, and stays through implementation and measurement. The work usually begins with contact center analytics: finding out, from the recorded calls themselves, why customers are contacting you, then fixing the causes.

Contact Center Analytics - Speech, Interaction, and Agent Performance
Often, workforce engagement, service levels, and productivity will erode within the contact center, but leaders lack the insights to know which changes are worth making. We use AI, natural language, speech, text, customer journey, agent performance, and other analytics to identify problem areas, improve workforce engagement, back quality assurance, and quantify results.
Results from that approach include 73,144 repeat calls root-caused for a membership travel company, $1.84 million in annual benefit for a health insurer, and $9.2 million a year for an auto insurer. Each began with a call study and ended with the contact center acting on what it found.

Quality Assurance and Continuous Performance Improvement
Want to deliver a level of service that sets your contact center apart from competitors? We dive deep into your teams’ interactions, examine agent performance, analyze costs, and implement a strategy that ensures your operation is consistently improving call resolutions, call volume forecasting, sentiment analysis, and other important performance metrics.
Manage change and elevate performance at once
New technologies and new programs require change throughout the contact center. That change can cause workforce engagement to slip. We minimize disruptions by analyzing how your employees will be impacted by role, team, and organization. Then we define and deploy a workforce optimization strategy that gives your teams the support they need to stride forward.
Set up and use groundbreaking technology
Automation, AI, natural language processing, and speech and voice analytics can drive down costs and skyrocket productivity. But they’ll only cause turmoil if they aren’t well-managed. We’ll identify high-ROI opportunities to implement technology, optimize your business properly, and hand you the reins. We also maximize adoption of your current technology so you achieve as much value out of it as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does contact center optimization consulting involve?
The work covers the full performance picture, speech analytics, quality assurance scoring, workforce management, agent experience, and the connection between what agents are measured on and what customers care about. The goal is to identify where performance and experience are breaking down and build a concrete improvement plan around it.
How does contact center performance affect customer satisfaction scores?
Contact center performance affects CSAT and NPS directly. First-call resolution rates, handle time, agent confidence, and the quality of issue resolution all show up in customer feedback. When those metrics improve, satisfaction scores typically follow, and the lift is traceable.
Do you implement contact center technology or just advise on it?
Both. We can assess and select technology, speech analytics platforms, workforce management systems, quality assurance tools, and we can manage the implementation and adoption of those platforms as part of a broader program management engagement.
What types of organizations benefit most from contact center optimization?
Organizations with high contact volume, elevated handle times, persistent first-call resolution issues, or high agent turnover see the most immediate impact. Industries we work in frequently include telecommunications, insurance, financial services, and utilities, all high-contact environments where the call center is a significant cost and customer satisfaction driver.
