The company has launched 'Community as a Strategy', a suite of social CRM services that can capture customer insights from social media sites.
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (ACS), a Xerox Company, has announced its new Social CRM suite of services. Called 'Community as a Strategy', ACS claims its new social CRM solution incorporates all aspects of the call center customer lifecycle including sales, service and analytics - into a social CRM solution. The social services combines social media marketing, consulting, agent-assisted and automated social media monitoring, as well as CRM reporting to proactively connect with customers before they contact the company.
"Community as a Strategy leverages advanced analytical technology to scour the Internet to find references about an organization and then aggregates those conversations from blogs and other social networks into a centralized database and reporting dashboard for review and possible action by call center agents. Organizations can then develop a social media strategy for call centers that will help cut costs and increase revenues through reduced call and e-mail volumes, increased first contact resolution, extended customer relationships and improved lead conversion rates.
