Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Buffalo
Secures Funding For New VOIP Phone System
Two Local Funders underwrite capacity building
project
Like many non-profits, Consumer Credit
Counseling Service of Buffalo, tries to maximize its’ limited funding. For
years, they struggled with an antiquated phone system because they couldn’t
afford the high cost of a new system.
Obtaining funding is especially challenging
when it is for a project like a new phone system. Funders like to invest in
programs that touch peoples’ lives, like educational or medical projects. This
leaves non-profits in a difficult position as they are often left without money
to pay for administrative expenses.
Consumer Credit Counseling Service (CCCS) had
a phone system that was ten years old, nearing demise. They realized that a new
system would not only enhance their technological abilities, it would save them
money as well. During the past ten years, technology has produced many features
to increase capacity. A local non-profit who implemented a similar new system
last year said that their telecommunications costs went down by 26% this year.
A search for funding began. CCCS applied to
the Bank of America Charitable Foundation and the Western New York Foundation
for a total of $22,000 to purchase and implement a new system.
CCCS announced today that they have received
all funding needed to complete this project and both foundations came through
with the entire amount.
Significantly, the new system is a VOIP phone
system Technology industry analysts herald the next wave of technology as Voice
over Internet (VOIP). Simply put, VOIP
is a family of technologies, methodologies, communication protocols, and
transmission techniques for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia
sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet. Even more
simply—it is using the internet to carry voice communications.
Currently, VoIP reaches 5% of the market.
Analysts predict that by 2014 that reach will grow to a whopping 80%.
VOIP providers testify that they help
companies upgrade their current phone systems and lower costs—up to 80% savings
from traditional providers—and that their systems promote more efficient businesses
and improve the ability to offer immediate customer service to customers.
The greatest needs that CCCS has are the need
to save time and the need to save $$$. CCCS will save at least $7,500 per year
with the elimination of long distance calls, and will save countless hours in
making reminder calls for appointments. With the new phone system, CCCS will better
serve their customers, save money and maximize time with the VOIP system.
Specifically, the new phone system will help
CCCS in four ways:
1.
Increase Profitability
·
Intelligent Incoming Call Flow
·
Conference Call Bridges
·
Automated calls from CCCS-Appointment
reminders, etc.
·
Call recording to ensure superior customer
service for QI purposes
·
Advertising our services through the hold
messages on system
2.
Increase Employee Productivity
·
Monitor all calls for coaching purposes
·
Voicemails received over emails
·
Add more users in queue as calls increase for
better customer service
3.
Enhance Customer Service
·
Route inbound call intelligently
·
Provide screen pop ups that correlate with our
debt management software
·
Automated inbound and outbound calling
4.
Develop New Business Intelligence
·
Gems buried in the data that reports provide
·
Great ability to track the effectiveness of
various marketing services such as web banners, radio, Google, Facebook, etc.
The new system also provides increased
efficiency of communications within service areas and between staff, constant
accessibility--voicemails available through email, ability to make automated
calls (appointment reminder calls), auto attendant capabilities, Call routing,
Call Forwarding and On Hold Advertising.
“We thank the Bank of
America Charitable Foundation and the Western New York Foundation for their
generous investment,” said Paul C. Atkinson, President & CEO of Consumer
Credit Counseling Service of Buffalo Inc. “By giving us the funding for a new
system, they are increasing our capacity to serve our clients. In the end,
everyone wins.”
