Have you been asked to do more with less lately? Economic conditions have created pressure to cut costs. But, it can\u2019t come at the expense of added value. For many, moving from an on-premises PBX to a <\/span>UCaaS<\/span><\/a> solution creates immediate cost savings. In addition, it also enhances the employee experience while boosting productivity.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s not as obvious is that cloud phone systems are also sitting on a heap of untapped value. The data in your platform can be used to drive operational efficiencies and improve business decisions. But a report shows that not all analytics capabilities are the same across UCaaS vendors. Before we dive into that, let\u2019s look at the importance of analytics in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why are analytics so important to a business today?<\/span><\/h2>\n

1. Analytics save IT both time and money<\/span><\/h3>\n

When many of us moved to hybrid work, the number of support tickets soared. IT was no longer troubleshooting a single phone system or a single network. Instead, they were navigating complex cloud networks and user endpoints. Without real-time quality-of-service (QoS) monitoring, IT has limited or no visibility into where issues might arise or how to fix them. With <\/span>RingCentral\u2019s extensive suite of QoS reporting<\/b><\/a>, IT can have a clear understanding of everyone\u2019s experience and fix issues proactively. This helps reduce the average time it takes to resolve support tickets so employees can get back to being productive faster.<\/span><\/p>\n

RingCentral includes extensive QoS monitoring and alerting.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cRingCentral\u2019s reporting capabilities are providing us a big ROI. The reports help us do informed resource analysis, manage our scheduling, and improve employee productivity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Becky Roberts, Service Improvement Manager, Littlefish<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

2. Data-driven decisions change the game for any department<\/span><\/h3>\n

Business leaders from sales, marketing, customer service and others can use their phone and meeting data to make better decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, an inbound sales team could measure call volume to make critical staffing decisions. Marketers could use special numbers to track the success of their campaigns. Customer service managers can monitor live call queues and reallocate resources on the fly to keep customers happy.<\/span><\/p>\n

At RingCentral, we believe better business decisions are possible with quality, built-in analytics that are comprehensive and easy to use.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cThe RingCentral reports gave us insights into our Council\u2019s call volume patterns that we never had with the old system. Suddenly we could easily determine our busiest times of day, busiest days of the week, and use that information to plan our resources more effectively.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Joe Brackenborough, Digital Transformation Manager, Thanet District Council<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

3. Analytics help you see problems before they start<\/span><\/h3>\n

Tracking trends over time <\/span>can<\/span><\/i> give you a better idea of your resource needs at any given point in the year so you can plan strategically for the next busy time.<\/span><\/p>\n

These numbers can also save the day on customer service issues. If you start to notice higher call volumes and longer wait times, you can adjust resources and alleviate the bottleneck as soon as possible. That way, customers are happier and less likely to take their frustrations to public review sites. In a world where a better customer experience improves profitability, who doesn\u2019t need the extra help with it?<\/span><\/p>\n

“The analytics we\u2019re seeing show that the flexibility of remote work suits us as a business in both improving customer service and keeping our employees happy.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

New report: Not all UCaaS analytics are created equal<\/span><\/h2>\n

While the UCaaS market has a lot of options for businesses of all sizes, many of these platforms fall short in the very important area of analytics<\/a>. Some providers don\u2019t retain enough history. Some require complex integrations with third party tools. Some don\u2019t have enough flexibility to get meaningful insights. Often sufficient criteria isn\u2019t used to evaluate the analytic capabilities of vendors until it\u2019s too late.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because we know how important analytics are to running a better business, we asked the Tolly Group, an independent agency known for providing unbiased benchmarking services, to compare RingCentral\u2019s analytics to several other UCaaS providers. The results were music to our ears: <\/span>Tolly found that<\/b> RingCentral was the clear analytics leader<\/b><\/a> in almost all the categories they considered. Their criteria covered several key areas including monitoring, optimisation, analysis, alerting and APIs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an overview of the report:<\/span><\/p>\n

The Tolly report<\/a> provides extensive detail across all vendors as well the solutions tested, competitor interactions, testing goals and methodologies.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

4 key takeaways from the report<\/span><\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s what Tolly found when they analysed RingCentral\u2019s UCaaS analytics features:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. RingCentral is the only solution designed for both IT and business users<\/span><\/h4>\n

This is more important than it seems. Gone are the days of managing-by-intuition. A broader community of people need data and insights to run their business. Democratising analytics that go beyond IT allows you to get more value from your UCaaS solution.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Our QoS analytics suite is extensive, automatic and included<\/span><\/h4>\n

Why charge more to make sure the platform is running as promised? Giving as much information as possible to IT ensures the highest return on investment. We also include adoption and usage analytics that not only show who is using the system, but who is not.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. We make our interface simple and powerful.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Jumping between different interfaces or applications to get a simple answer is maddening.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our single interface for summary statistics, intuitive drill-to-detailed and real-time insights doesn\u2019t require extensive training or skills. We keep it all in one place and make it easy to use.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. We provide superior flexibility<\/span><\/h4>\n

Just because our analytics are easy to use doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re rigid. Our customers love to build custom KPIs, dashboards and insightful views of their data delivered right to their inbox, browser, or mobile device.<\/span><\/p>\n
