Highly affordable, simple to deploy, and intuitive to use, Avaya Workforce Optimization Select enables a wide range of insights into the customer experience, allowing midsize businesses to create the most value through every customer interaction.

Survey after survey indicates that customers spend more with and are more loyal to companies that make it easy to do business.^[1] Staying on top of the customer experience requires technology that gathers, measures and analyzes all touch points of the customer journey; however, the robust workforce optimization solutions capable of doing so are typically offered only to larger enterprises.
