What worked • Call consolidation and tracking • Phone system technology • Issues encountered • Staffing (identify who and how many) • Knowledge level of staff • In-depth training needed • Process for contact escalation • Public confusion about where they were calling or wanting a specific location Findings summary
Implement “as is” • Adjustments will be made to account for extensions, staffing model, and training • Test with alternate technology • Support distributed staffing • More enhanced data OPTIONS
Implement “as is” with current phone system • Adjustments need to be made: • I.T. can create new extensions at service points so that staff can reach different libraries easily. • New staffing model needed (6+ highly trained staff whose sole responsibility is the contact center). • Single location model will need to be used (currently). • Continue to seek better technology to improve phone system and statistical tracking Recommendations
