Our customers are visionaries that know success is earned through question and debate, by never settling for good enough and by learning from others who share common goals and challenges -- Tom Goodmanson, CEO, Calabrio

Post this

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) September 15, 2014 -- Calabrio, a leading provider of contact center workforce optimization (WFO) and analytics software, hosts their Annual User Group Summit this week in Minneapolis, Minn., where Calabrio is headquartered. Following a massive growth year in 2013, in which WFO revenues grew more than 70 percent and the company was again named the only Visionary in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Contact Center Workforce Optimization*, a rapidly expanding mix of new companies and long-term Calabrio advocates will meet for a three-day summit to talk about innovative ways to solve everyday challenges, evolving business goals, new strategies for motivating teams, and the need to embrace change in order to accelerate performance.

To underscore the theme, Calabrio invited best-selling author Steven Levitt as the guest keynote - a dynamic speaker who uses simple questions to reach startling conclusions. Levitt is the popular author of Freakonomics, which spent 8 years on The New York Times Bestseller List, as well as SuperFreakonomics, and Think Like A Freak. He is also a William B. Ogden Distinguished Service Professor of Economics, University of Chicago.

“We believe that innovative technology should be driven by the needs of the people who use it,” said Tom Goodmanson, Calabrio president and CEO. “The summit is for everyone who is working for change, anyone with a vested interest in making customer service and the contact center an even stronger asset to their organizations. As we’ve started saying – we want to kick status in the quo.”

Calabrio boasts a customer-driven innovation philosophy, in which two thirds of all product innovations annually are driven by feedback by customers at events such as the annual Summit. New features from last year’s customer input will be unveiled to customers this week.

Other highlights include a visit to Calabrio-customer Polaris Industries’ new state-of the art facility in Wyoming, Minn. for a tour and a glimpse into their strategies for sustaining strong relationships with their dealer community. Customers and Calabrio employees will participate side-by-side in a charity event, which is a highlight of every conference, and supports Calabrio’s corporate culture of giving back.

Attendees will come from all regions, spanning more than a dozen industries, with deployments supporting ten to tens of thousands of seats. There are five separate tracks, with topics tailored to workforce analysts, quality analysts, contact center management and executives, and IT leaders. Topics span voice of the customer, agent enablement, performance motivation strategies, omni-channel vision and obstacles, and much, much more.

Adds Goodmanson, “Our customers are visionaries that know success is earned through question and debate, by never settling for good enough and by learning from others who share common goals and challenges. The Calabrio User Group is a community of individuals who dare to embrace vision and change for the sake of making a real impact. We’re thrilled to have them come together here in our home city this week."
