Verint to Address Major Forces Facing Retail Banking Institutions at the BAI Retail Delivery Conference
Company to Explore Industry Shifts in Priority from Transactions to Sales and Service, Increasing Compliance Pressures and Emerging Technologies During October 11 Speaking Engagement
WASHINGTON & MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- As part of its participation in this week's BAI Retail Delivery 2012, Verint® Systems Inc. (NAS: VRNT) today announced that it will speak to some of the most prominent, rising issues facing decision makers in the retail banking industry. The company will highlight how its enterprise workforce optimization (WFO) and voice of the customer solutions help financial institutions tackle key concerns around operating efficiency, regulatory compliance requirements including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, customer satisfaction, revenue generation, and the use of self-service and multichannel technologies.
BAI Retail Delivery—a retail financial services event which takes place October 9-11 in Washington, DC—is expected to provide a series of sessions designed to address complex industry issues. These include how to tackle compliance and regulatory issues, address mobile initiatives and leverage data to create better value.
"We're pleased to be participating in BAI Retail Delivery and showcasing solutions that can help these organizations face the realities of an expensive and heavily-regulated industry that continues to change every day," says Simon Angove, senior vice president, retail financial services, Verint Enterprise Intelligence Solutions™. "Helping financial institutions become more efficient and effective not only lessens the compliance burden, it helps them improve customer service and increase revenues."
A number of significant trends are driving shifts across the retail banking industry. Industry research indicates top priorities focused on raising efficiency, maintaining compliance, increasing customer satisfaction, and increasing revenues. These trends include:
Customer churn is driven by customer experience more than pricing. According to research conducted by Cap Gemini1, three of the top five reasons for customer turnover at banks are related to the customer experience—quality of service and advice, as well as ease of use—while two of the five are related to pricing, such as fees and interest rates.
Staffing practices are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Practices to improve the return on labor spend, the largest operating expense for financial institutions, have expanded beyond increasing the use of part-time staff and now include the use of multi-skilled "universal bankers," "float pools" that shares staff between branches, and "enterprise workforce management" that shares staff between branch, contact center and back-office departments.
To address these trends—on Thursday, October 11 at 2:30 p.m. ET—Angove will participate in a discussion on "Redefining the Role of the Contact Center in a Multichannel Banking Organization." The session will review the increasingly critical role of the contact center in delivering a personalized customer experience, as well as supporting the new channels of customer choice through chat, text messaging and video. It will also highlight best practices for integrating the contact center with other channels like the branch, and how to uncover new opportunities in the contact center.
Throughout the conference, Verint will demonstrate Impact 360® for Retail Financial Services™, its workforce optimization solution engineered for financial services. The software provides unprecedented visibility into the customer experience across channels and improves the efficiency and effectiveness of the workforce in delivering service and increasing sales across branch, contact center and back-office operations.
