NewWave Communications Streamlines Triple-Play Support and New Service Delivery with Convergys

4:53 pm   -   May 18th, 2009

Convergys Corporation (NYSE: CVG), a global leader in relationship management, has announced that NewWave Communications, a leading regional cable, broadband, and telephony provider, has expanded its contract with Convergys to further increase and enhance the services it provides its customers. The expanded contract includes implementing a multiple channel, single billing solution and Intervoice [R] IP Contact Center (IPCC).

Under the agreement, which runs through 2014, Convergys will implement a single billing solution supporting NewWave’s cable, broadband, and telephony customers. This new solution will consolidate provisioning, rating, billing, and customer care for all services on a single platform, allowing NewWave to create compelling service bundles including cross-service discounts, and streamline the order entry and customer care process.

NewWave has also chosen to implement the Intervoice IP Contact Center solution, a standards-based, multi-site, multi-channel, software solution that combines different types of customer contacts on one platform. With IPCC, subscribers can contact NewWave by phone, email, or web and enjoy a consistent customer experience regardless of how they initiate contact. IPCC enables NewWave to manage its multiple, dispersed locations as a single contact center system and intelligently route contacts to the customer service representative best suited to handle the inquiry.

“As a leading provider of cable and broadband services in our region, our ability to effectively serve our customers from a single platform is critical to staying ahead of our competitors,” said Larry Eby, Senior Vice President of Operations for NewWave Communications. “The Convergys billing solution’s rich functionality allows us to create innovative service packages that will resonate with our customer base, while IPCC’s pioneering automation streamlines our customer service processes. Together, these solutions will help us reduce costs and improve service quality.”

“Convergys research indicates that the quality of the customer experience is the single most important factor for a company to consider as it seeks to achieve brand loyalty,” said Andrea Holko, Convergys General Manager and Senior Vice President of Relationship Technology Management. “Convergys solutions help service providers like NewWave succeed in an increasingly competitive communications and media landscape by lowering their costs, enhancing the customer experience, and enabling them to differentiate their services from those of their competitors.”
