(NYSE: CALX) today announced Calix Support Cloud (Support Cloud) now features a Subscriber Quality of Experience (QoE) Score that combines powerful seven-day historical data with unprecedented end-to-end subscriber network visibility. Broadband service providers (BSPs) using Support Cloud reduce call times by up to 80 percent. Customer support representatives (CSRs) at BSPs that also leverage the new Subscriber QoE Score will expect to see call-handle times further reduced by another 27 percent. The award-winning Support Cloud is the only customer support solution that gives BSPs insights backed by data from both the home (Wi-Fi) and access (fiber) networks. Consolidated WAN (wide area network) health insights, available for the first time, will significantly increase efficiency for CSRs, helping them to quickly identify the root cause of issues that can be complex to solve. To reduce support calls, CSRs can now benefit from increased visibility into the subscriber mobile experience in the CommandIQ app. Support Cloud is integrated with CommandIQ and advanced network security application ProtectIQ to provide CSRs with complete visibility to make troubleshooting easier. The expanded historical data in Support Cloud will dramatically simplify the resolution of subscriber issues for support teams. In combination with the latest updates to CommandIQ and ProtectIQ,BSPs can: Reduce call-handle times by another 27 percent and improve first-call resolution rates to boost customer satisfaction. Now customer support teams can analyze subscriber issues with an entire week’s worth of historical data. The ability to resolve complex issues quickly and thoroughly enhances the confidence of CSRs and subscribers alike, vastly improving both employee satisfaction and the subscriber experience. Support Cloud now includes Spanish language capabilities, making it easier for CSRs to serve subscribers in North America’s second most spoken language.
