</div>Is the glass half-full or half-empty?.<br>
<br>
I would prefer to say, "using technology to improve efficiency" is the<br>
objective.<br>
<br>
Efficiency is two way;<br>
<br>
1. From the walk-in customer point of view<br>
� � � � i. How long does it take to be served<br>
<br>
2. From an organizational point of view.<br>
� � � � ii. Efficiency of service delivery<br>
<br>
<br>
In the absence of such systems, it is difficult to enhance efficiency in<br>
such a workplace.<br>
<br>
Such systems can provide you useful data such as;<br>
� � � � 1. What are most issues being resolved about<br>
� � � � 2. What are the average wait times<br>
� � � � 3. Are the resources provided adequate (HR, computing, etc...)<br>
� � � � 4. etc<br>
<br>
It is through such information that an organization can make<br>
improvements and adjustments to better serve its customers.<br>
<br>
For instance, it would be possible to know if there are fewer agents at<br>
the counters and what times of the day. It would be a simple option<br>
where an extra agent is brought it to assist during the peak times. The<br>
impact that would have would be priceless to the organization.<br>
<br>
<br>
