Title
Contract Award to Qualtrics, LLC for Speech Analytics Software (B)
Approve execution of a contract with Qualtrics, LLC for Speech Analytics Software to provide a platform that addresses all current requirements for call center functionality while providing flexibility to incorporate new functionality as needed and required for the future.
Explanation
The GRU contact center answers approximately 20,000 calls per month. Currently, Customer Service management reviews a small portion of those calls in order to ensure that our Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) are providing world class service. The reviews are based on the following guidelines:
For CSRs with one or more years of experience, we monitor and score one call per week, and two calls per week for CSRs with less than one year of experience. We review calls from both morning and afternoon and look for calls between 7-15 minutes in length.
If a score falls below quality standards, an email is sent to the Call Center Supervisors and Sr. Representatives. If a call review provides a discovery of an immediate coaching opportunity, then a request is sent to the Call Center Supervisors and SR CSRs for coaching with that CSR.
Unfortunately, the current process only allows Customer Service to be able to monitor, evaluate and score 124 of the 20k calls received per month, which is less than 1% of all calls.

The proposals were evaluated based on qualifications & experience, approach to project, software, pricing, distinguishing characteristics, local preference and small business; functionality, ease of use and user experience support and implementation. Qualtrics, LLC received the highest score. A tabulation of the scoring is attached for your reference.
