Improve Call Handling Effectiveness and Employee Productivity

Public safety organizations face increasingly formidable challenges, including diminished funding, tighter budgets, evolving standards, new communications technologies, and growing public expectations.

Workforce optimization solutions can offer significant efficiencies and performance gains, helping agencies enhance performance in their communications centers while reducing liability and conducting faster, more productive investigations.

Verint offers Impact 360 for Public Safety, a workforce optimization solution designed to meet the needs of communications centers, command and control centers, and public safety answering points (PSAPs).  This practical solution provides a range of functionality, including:

• Multichannel Recording, Playback, and Storage — Capitalizing on the proven functionality of Verint Audiolog, Impact 360 for Public Safety provides full-time recording, selective recording, recording on demand, and dial-in recording across digital and analog telephones, trunked and conventional radio systems, telephone lines and trunks, IP phones, SMS, and PC screens. It can record screens without disrupting call handlers while minimizing network usage and storage requirements. Recordings can be retrieved using a variety of criteria and secured from unauthorized access, and a playback audit trail can track incidents and alert you to potential abuse.

Impact 360 for Public Safety’s coaching tool can help supervisors schedule, track, review, and report on individual development opportunities.
