As kids we used to happily create personal gifts for our family and friends. It’s ironic, during my last move to my new home that keeping those special “Arts and Crafts&# products made by my son are the very ones I still cherish the most.

'Over-promise and under-deliver: that’s the feeling we’re all left with when someone mentions video analytics. And rightly so – because many vendors claim they do video analytics, but often there’s no way to determine just how well they do it. And it''s that way with many things. Case in point - I can pound out a few keys on the piano, but I''m certainly no Mozart.

'Since childhood we have been taught that in an emergency we should call the universal emergency number 9-1-1. Our expectation upon calling is that we will soon have a police officer, a fireman or an emergency medical unit arrive at our location and begin aiding us in our emergency. In addition to being taught to call 9-1-1, we hear stories daily about the heroic efforts of first responders around the world who have come to the assistance of those in need.

First-call resolution (FCR) is an increasingly popular performance measure in customer contact environments. And that’s a good thing: Unresolved contacts are a common source of customer dissatisfaction, and the organization tends to incur many additional expenses (e.g., repeat calls, rework, etc.) when issues are not fully resolved. However, despite clear benefits, FCR must be implemented carefully.
