BASKING RIDGE, NJ – Avaya today announced that Primerica, a financial services company serving customers and independent agents in North America, has selected Avaya Customer Experience Interaction Management solutions to power its new headquarters.
Primerica will deploy new customer service capabilities to serve both direct customers and its 90,000 independent representatives to drive faster, more effective service through both self and assisted service.

Primerica will deploy new customer service capabilities to serve both direct customers and its 90,000 independent representatives to drive faster, more effective service through both self and assisted service. Customers and agents will be able to use virtually any channel – voice, video, email, text, IM or mobile – and through the application of sophisticated routing technologies, have a consistent, seamless experience.
The new technologies will enable customers and agents to easily escalate from self service to assisted service when they need more help -- without closing out of a session and starting over. Information captured during the self-service part of the interaction will be carried forward as the interaction proceeds from one mode of communication to the next, providing a more efficient, unified experience. Contact center workforce management, monitoring and reporting capabilities will enable Primerica to optimize operations and staff through more accurate forecasting, more comprehensive training and easy to use real-time management tools.
Primerica will also use Avaya's real-time collaboration solutions to connect its new headquarters in Duluth, Georgia and eight other locations in a centralized, private-cloud, configuration. Services and applications such as voice, video, messaging and conferencing will be delivered to employees over the company’s private cloud.

Quotes:
"Primerica has put a stake in the ground to be a different kind of financial services company. We want our customers and agents to have the kind of experience reminiscent of the type that could be had when business was done on Main Street in any town. When the business owner knew your name the moment you walked in the door and quite likely, why you were there. The Avaya solutions we’re deploying will help us capture that with the advantage of next-generation technologies to address how people work, communicate and collaborate today."
--David Wade, CIO, Primerica
