The latest editions of Centerserve's Call
Center Best Practices Benchmarking Reports present comprehensive findings from four studies over the past
eight years. The reports detail what is working (and what is not working) and what
contact centers are doing differently in management, operations and
processes. The reports
provide quick, actionable steps for call center managers seeking to increase revenues, reduce
costs and improve service quality.
Participants from over 50 countries and a variety of industries (including electronics
and communications, health care, financial services, utilities, insurance, consumer goods,
banking, government, education, manufacturing, services and hospitality) contributed to
the study. The results of the study are presented in three benchmarking reports:
Best Practices in Operations,
Best Practices in Management
and Best Practices in Business
Processes. A consolidated table of contents for
