NICE Executive Networking Series to Present Advanced Solutions and Strategies for Call Volume Reduction and Next Call Prevention

'Shaping Interactions as they Happen' will bring together industry leaders to discuss best practices for proactively addressing customer needs and preventing unnecessary interactions

RUTHERFORD, New Jersey, September 5, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE) today announced that it will showcase its real-time
analytics technology and call reduction strategies during an executive networking series
about Shaping Interactions as they Happen. Taking place on September 12-24, 2012 with four
stops across North America, these events will bring together industry thought leaders to
discuss optimizing customer interactions by promoting first-contact resolution
[http://www.nice.com/operational-efficiency/first-contact-resolution ] and proactively
preventing unnecessary calls.

    "Companies should welcome customer interactions. However, they must be able to
identify and carry out constructive interactions, which resolve customer issues, create
high satisfaction, lower operational costs, and generate revenues," said Barak Eilam,
President of NICE Americas. "By tracking the customer journey across channels, identifying
what drives customer behavior, and predicting what the customer's next move will be,
enterprises are able to shape interactions as they happen, thereby achieving better
results."

    Kicking off the series, the NICE Executive Breakfast in Kansas City on September 12th
will bring together several NICE customers and a NICE expert to share best practices on
how to deliver excellent customer service and Own the Decisive Moment(TM).

    Jason Pointelin, Manager of Analytics and Performance Management Systems at Sprint,
will deliver a case study on the use of analytics to understand the reasons behind
different call types. By leveraging this information, Sprint has been able to proactively
handle customer needs during the first interaction, reduce call volumes, and increase
overall agent performance.

    Martha Rogers, Ph.D., Founding Partner at Peppers & Rogers Group, will lead an
interactive discussion on the value of cross-channel analytics
[http://www.nice.com/cross-channel-analytics ] in determining the ideal customer support
mix for creating valuable customer experiences. Her session will focus on best responses
to customers via social media, the contact center, and self-service, to help reduce call
volumes and other costs while improving customer inquiry resolution and demonstrable
long-term customer trust and loyalty.

    Matthew Storm, Director of Innovation and Solutions at NICE, will discuss the role of
Real-Time Interaction Analytics
[http://www.nice.com/smartcenter-suite/interaction-analytics ] in helping agents understand
the full context of each interaction and guiding them to the next-best-action during the
interaction.

    The NICE solutions identify and analyze repeat customer calls in order to understand
what the underlying cause is, for example, agent knowledge gaps or process failures. The
analytics technology also detects patterns of behavior across the customer journey -
information that is used to anticipate and proactively meet customer needs in order to
prevent the next call. By implementing these solutions, businesses can reduce call volumes
by up to 25 percent, making operations more efficient while also improving customer
satisfaction and loyalty.

    The Shaping Interactions as they Happen series will include a variety of additional
events and webinars. For more information and to register, visit:
