Customer Highlights 

b+s has helped some of the largest and most complex Cisco contact center customers achieve their customer service goals.

A few examples include...

PostFinance, a leading Swiss financial institution, operates successfully with its contact center: divided into 13 locations, employs 700 agents and handles 6000 calls daily. The adaptable Cisco UCCE environment integrates existing CRM- and workforce management and offers all participants more convenience and it represents a significant cost reduction thanks to a consolidation of multiple systems. Bucher + Suter was responsible for the system integration.

"With the introduction of the new IP-enabled call center solution UCCE by Cisco, about 1,000 agents have been working with a new, modern tool since the middle of 2009. With the additional integration of the PostFinance CRM applications (number recognition, automatic screen-pop of customer data) a major contribution will be made to the annual rate of six million customer calls handled efficiently and in a customer friendly way.
The collaboration with Bucher + Suter AG has always been exemplary and we could count at any time on their professional support and expertise."
- Roland Garo, Project Manager, PostFinance
