With the
increasing use of 3G video phones and PC-based Internet video calling,
it is now feasible and practical for call centers to support live video
communication in addition to their audio services. When used for
providing Helpdesk support, for example, video communication can
dramatically improve the time it takes to solve problems, save
resources, and increase customer satisfaction. The use of video call
centers can often replace the need for on-site support.
iPoint-media
supports a number of different types of video call center solutions.
These solutions are created using the capabilities of the Vitrage VICmodule
and can be enhanced with the integration of other from other Vitrage modules.

Video Banking services have evolved as a result of the extremely
competitive nature of the banking industry. Banks would like to offer
their VIP clients with premium, personalized services that allows them
to interact in one-on-one video calls with their bank representative

Video Help Desks
can improve the way customers are able to describe their problem and
receive solutions to a variety of problems requiring the assistant of a
help desk agent. They can also reduce the amount of time these calls
take and reduce the frustration often accompanying such calls.
A typical Video
Help Desk call involves a customer placing a video call to the helpdesk
and being answered by a video greeting. The customer can navigate
through MiVR menus to
select a support language, indicate the type problem or select the type
of product. The user can view information or video clips explaining
common problems, or request to interact with a live video agent.
Video Help Desks
can save time by allowing customers to “show” their problem to an agent
using their handset’s video camera and allowing the agent to “see” the
caller’s problem. Common problems or requests can be answered by
showing a video clip with detailed step-by-step instructions, during
which time the agent can attend to other customers. After the clip is
over, the agent can return to the customer to complete the support call
as required. Agents can also share live screen shots from their PC
screen, or send follow-up information and video clips to the caller via
MMS.
Vitrage ViC provides a
complete solution for video helpdesks. It can be implemented as a
stand-alone video solution or integrated with the existing ACD and CRM
systems. It can be implemented through a third-party services provider,
as it supports a hosted/CENTREX model.
Tourist
Information Center
As tourists, we
purchase information about the location we are visiting. This includes
maps, hotel guides, restaurant guides, and much more. In addition, we
usually visit tourist information centers to ask for directions and
tips. Imagine if we could take this information center with us wherever
we go.
iPoint-media’s
Tourist Information Center service offers customers a personal mobile
tourist information center. Using Vitrage ViC, a tourist can place a video
call to
the center at anytime, from anywhere. Utilizing MiVR menus, the tourist
can navigate through a variety of available information, view video
clips of famous attractions or request to speak with a live agent.

operators and service providers can offer subscribers a new and
exciting service – a personal mobile tourist information center
For example, a
tourist could contact an agent for a recommendation on a local
restaurant. Based on the callers location, the agent can provide a list
of restaurants in the area, display their menus and even show video
clips of their interiors. After selecting the desired restaurant, the
agent can place the reservation and then provide additional tips for
the caller on where to go after dinner. Follow-up information, such as
the reservation confirmation or menus can be sent to the caller via SMS
or MMS.
