Sample IndustryExecutive SummaryResearchers at BenchmarkPortal have continued the work begin at Purdue University in 1995, collecting contact center performance dataand providing actionable benchmarking reports to contact center managers. Although there are many parameters to measure in a contactcenter, twenty-two Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) have been found to strongly correlate to optimizing the quality and quantity of callshandled.BenchmarkPortal was awarded a U.S. Patent for its unique methodology of benchmarking call centers. That methodology has been utilized inpreparing this report.The report includes the following elements:1. Tables of key classification characteristics,2. A performance matrix that compares you to your industry,3. A table of KPIs that indicate the effectiveness (or quality) of your call center,4. A table of KPIs that indicate the efficiency (or cost elements) of your call center, Aggregated multichannel tables of KPIs and All Industries*multichannel comparisons, and6. Our glossary of terms and definitions.Our benchmark reports have been used by call center managers around the world to:a) Establish an objective baseline of current performance against industry peers.b) Identify strengths to be cultivated and weaknesses to be addressed.c) Create roadmaps for improvement.d) Lead toward certification as a Call Center of Excellence under the program administered by BenchmarkPortal.As such, our reports have shown themselves to be practical, actionable tools for directional and continuous improvement.Copyright 2017, BenchmarkPortal, LLC126 E.

Sample IndustrySection I: Contact Center Classification MetricsIn comparing a contact center's performance to its peers in the same industry, it is useful to have some basic statistical informationregarding the other call centers in the industry. This Section exhibits those "demographic" metrics, such as call center size in terms ofvolume of calls handled, number of agents, IVR statistics, and the likeContact Center Profile MetricsThe data in this Sample Report are not real.

Sample IndustrySection II: Voice Channel - Performance MatrixThe challenge of every contact center manager is to balance the quality and quantity of inbound calls handled. The patented BenchmarkPortal processesinclude the Performance Matrix. The Performance Matrix combines quantity KPIs on the x-axis, i.e., metrics like calls/agent/hour, average talk time, agentutilization and the like (see Section III) with quality KPIs on the y-axis, i.e., metrics like average speed of answer, time on hold and the like (see Section IV)Effectiveness Index (Quality)10.005.000.00-5.00-10.00-10-5051 10Efficiency Index (Quantity/Cost)* Star position is based upon the accuracy of data you provided. Missing metrics will decrease the accuracy of your star position.Copyright 2017, BenchmarkPortal, LLC126 E.
