Msource, the IT-enabled services arm of the Mphasis BFL group, had recently announced its decision to use eShare Dialer for servicing its outbound calls, a product that increases the efficiency and accuracy of the service provided by call-centre agents to their customers. What sets eShare apart is its ability to accurately produce outbound calls based on the needs of an individual agent, yet share the results of those calls with other agents for greater efficiency, a company communiqu said.

Says Msource India CEO Milind Chalisgaonkar: The unique features of a technologically advanced product such as eShare will further add to our capabilities for servicing our customers better and quicker. Most importantly, it also helps increase employee morale and productivity and enables them perform at ease while enhancing the quality of the service provided by them. The implementation of this product will strengthen our competitive position within the industry.

One of the key features of the eShare Dialer is individual agent pacing, which maintains statistics on each individual agent and dials phone lines, when it thinks the agent will be ready for another call, based on the agents own call history.
