This document summarizes a presentation about leveraging customer relationship management (CRM) and enterprise applications with Genesys Business Process Routing. The presentation discusses how Genesys can help overcome separation between front and back office applications by integrating analytics, business process management, and communication/CRM. It provides examples of customers who improved processes, increased visibility, and reduced costs. The document also summarizes a specific implementation at Andrew Corporation which integrated Genesys, SAP applications and Avaya to improve customer service and support through routing of all interaction types.

Why Do Traditional Apps Fall Short?
They often cover segments of processes, not end-to-end
process (people, systems, geographies, departments….)
Business processes within them are are implicit – making
it hard to identify the process problems, and change
quickly
Traditional applications are very IT and code-heavy,
limiting the role of the business user in driving change

Implementation
No impact on existing operations
(transparent to customers)
Implementation took about 12 months
overall
4 Months for the Genesys / CTI
portion to be set up.
Genesys partner onsite throughout
implementation
Better solution design
Effective knowledge transfer
Change Management
Customer Service
Representatives now have to
process all interactions including

25. [
Real Experience. Real Advantage. 25
Fax and Email Routing
Fax number is put into the subject line of an email
Genesys passes fax number or email address to a
custom function module in SAP
SAP returns username of customer’s agent for routing
Routed to generic group if no record found
26. [
Real Experience. Real Advantage. 26
Email
Push scenario (for now)
We didn’t want agents to be cherry picking the easy emails
After we went live, we determined that this wasn’t the best
solution
As part of our CRM 2007 upgrade we’ll be switching to a pull
scenario
Multiple Logins
IC web client only allows one interaction at a time.
This is not acceptable for the way our business runs (agents need
to be able to answer the phone while replying to an email).
We solved this by creating a second login for users that’s
specifically for emails
The issue with this is that we now have to pay for two Genesys
licenses
Outgoing Emails
Extensive work with SAP support to resolve issues involving
27. [
Real Experience. Real Advantage. 27
Order and Quote management
Still handled in R/3
Because we’re on version 4.6c, we use the BOR object to
pass data back and forth
Orders and Quotes are entered in the ERP system and
then linked to the activity clipboard in an interaction
record.

Customizations
Custom Inbox Searches By PO Number And Sales Number
Sub-reason field on Interaction Records
Business Partner notes in Identify Account screen
Ability to copy Interaction Record notes to the Windows clipboard
End Complete button added to the toolbar to automatically close interactions

Lessons Learned
Having a third party (Mediu) was very useful when it
came to dealing with issues between Genesys and SAP
Issues resolved quickly
Amount of finger pointing was reduced
Do not wait until the last minute to start work on reporting
Push scenario for emails eliminates “cherry picking” but
creates other issues for users that are less desirable
35. [

Future Plans
CRM 2007 upgrade is currently underway
Spain Rollout of IC Webclient set to begin after the
upgrade is complete
Evaluation of additional functionality within the existing
application is underway by our field services group.
