Microsoft empowers people and organizations to achieve more through innovations such as Xbox, Windows, Azure and Office. Integral to success is a diverse partner ecosystem and an immense support organization that handles over 73 million calls a year, in 37 languages, from anywhere across the globe.

Delivered from over 80 regional contact centers, those service operations ran on hundreds of local telephony (PBX, IVR and ACD) systems, along with various reporting and database servers. This complex on-premises model was costly and time consuming to maintain. It also obscured information on staffing levels, wait times, agent performance and, ultimately, customer satisfaction.

“Our call center operations needed to replace our legacy infrastructure with next-generation SaaS offerings that could drive standardization, provide new capabilities and enhance integration for our support and sales activities,” said Matt Hayes, Principal Program Manager at Microsoft. “So, moving to a single cloud contact center platform was a logical progression.”

Enriched by Microsoft applications such as Azure, Skype and Dynamics, the Genesys Engage™ solution is now helping Microsoft transform customer experience and productivity for more than 25,000 agents throughout North America, Europe and Asia.

As a result of this migration, 35 different phone systems and 214 separate IVR platforms have been decommissioned, reducing IT maintenance costs and simplifying navigation across Microsoft product offerings. Agent response times also have improved, assisted by the newfound ability to load balance across regions.

Benefits

Significant reduction in call transfer rates
Substantially shorter wait times
Improved accuracy of reporting at a global level
Savings of time and money from decommissioned infrastructure

“Genesys Engage gives Microsoft and our partners the levers we need to optimize a global pool of agents with multiple language skills and deliver consistently great customer experiences.”
