Mohania IBM India Research Lab, India {lvsubram,ftanveer,shajmoha,shantanugodbole,mkmukesh}@in.ibm.com Abstract— In this paper, we present a first of a kind system, called Business Intelligence from Voice of Customer (BIVoC), that can: 1) combine unstructured information and structured information in an information intensive enterprise and 2) derive richer business insights from the combined data. Unstructured information, in this paper, refers to Voice of Customer (VoC) obtained from interaction of customer with enterprise namely, conversation with call-center agents, email, and sms. Structured database reflect only those business variables that are static over (a longer window of) time such as, educational qualification, age group, and employment details. In contrast, a combination of unstructured and structured data provide access to business variables that reflect upto date dynamic requirements of the customers and more importantly indicate trends that are difficult to derive from a larger population of customers through any other means. For example, some of the variables reflected in unstructured data are problem/interest in a certain product, expression of dissatisfaction with the business provided, and some unexplored category of people showing certain interest/problem...

...has seen a shift in recent years towards the global market (Cansfiled 2007). In recent years excess competition has led to a decrease in over 50% of Global Communications stock. Questionable decision making and internal communication have forced leadership to a decision of outsourcing call centers to foreign countries and a push through new products towards globalization. This paper attempts identify: The issues and opportunities that all Global Communications stakeholders face, the gap that needs to be bridged, and the end state visions the company will adopt to reinvent itself. Issue and Opportunity Identification Global Communications is faced with increased industry competition and their stock value has depreciated over 50 % during the past three years. Global faces a great deal of competition in local and international long distance services. Cable companies have stepped in and provided robust portfolio of products to consumers at the cost of market share for Global communications. The result of this increased competition and the rise in call center costs have caused management to devise an aggressive plan to address these issues. This plan calls for outsourcing of call centers to foreign countries and a move towards the global market, offering consumer and businesses, a well rounded portfolio of products. The implementation of this plan will result in massive lay-offs for union workers and a 10% salary reduction for retained employees. The board and management...

...Call Center Project A Project Paper Presented to the Faculty of the College of Information Technology University of Negros Occidental – Recoletos In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Science in Information Technology By 2014 Filipinism/Filipinoism I. Introduction. In call centers, which is a booming industry in the Philippines,‘Filipinoism‘ is a term taught by trainers to classify some English words being used by Filipino natives. These words may not be grammatically incorrect, but may confuse some native English speakers, as it is a shortcut (English) term or literal translation from Filipino words/phrases, which is not popularly known/accepted by some. It is a speech pattern commonly used by Filipinos when speaking English. This is English spoken using the Filipino speech pattern. Filipinos speak English using English words but think in terms of using their first language in context and structure resulting to a kind of English that is seemingly unintelligible. Objectives : * To define FILIPINISM/FILIPINOISM * To be familiar with the common FILIPINISM that we use. * To be able to avoid FILIPINISM in our sentence construction and verbal communication. * Speaking fluent English efficiently and effectively. Filipinism is not wrong nor is it a bastardization of English. In the call center industry, however, Filipinism needs to be avoided because the great majority of the clients of multinational...

...Group Behavior and Processes Paper Michelle Easthon CJA/444 December 15, 2014 Patrick Kelly Group Behavior and Processes Paper This paper will be launching a problem-oriented policing (POP)/S.A.R.A. initiative to the scenario area of the low-income housing development, found in Peak’s, Justice Administration: “A new low-income housing development in your community consists of 58 apartments and has become a popular hangout for selling drugs, drinking liquor, and intimidating residents until early morning hours. Gunshots are an occasional occurrence, with 5–10 calls for service in every 24-hour period. Criminals hide guns in the thick overgrowth around the complex, and when approached, they flee through a large open field behind the complex. An adjacent convenience store has become a problem as well, particularly as a magnet for drug dealers. A nearby drug house also contributes to the problem, and a T-shaped alley behind the store provides easy ingress and egress for buyers, both on foot and in vehicles. The lighting is poor (with people frequently shooting out street lights), and pay telephones in the store’s front are used constantly by traffickers. Street people in the area also engage in theft-, drug-, prostitution-, and vandalism-related activities. Additionally, these people sleep on private property, defecate and urinate on public streets, and engage in public drunkenness, graffiti, and littering” (2012, p. 74). The S.A.R.A. process involves scanning, analysis...

...in recent years due to the shift in foreign labour markets becoming more competitive, and even favourable in some sectors. It should be noted that domestic examples of outsourcing do not shift the labour market because within the country itself, there are no structural changes. As a result, this paper will focus on outlining the various off-shoring and outsourcing implications and effects on international labour markets. Outsourcing vs. Off-shoring Companies have been able to implement off-shoring and outsourcing because of the phenomenon of lower transportation costs and instant communication across barriers of the world. Outsourcing and off-shoring are often grouped together and defined similarly, however they can be understood and interpreted in many ways. Outsourcing is a division of labour by contracting foreign third-parties abroad. In comparison, off-shoring is a more extreme form of outsourcing. It instead relocates key production sectors abroad, but not core innovative activities. Companies will often setup their own facilities which results in a decrease in foreign unemployment. Specific examples related to off-shoring and outsourcing will be discussed throughout the paper. In a wider spectrum, firms use off-shoring and outsourcing to remain competitive with the ongoing globalization that is present. Both countries involved are able to raise their nation’s GDP by shifting labour output and wages to more affective markets. Wages and labour The graph...

Other than discussing the use of information, this paper will also discuss the various challenges in controlling the information flow and how can organization keep it safe from unauthorized use. Information flow and use in an organization It is important to first discuss information before describing its uses and how it flows. Information refers to data that has been organized in a way to give meaning and value to the recipient (Rainer & Cegielski, 2011). In an organization, the information can refer to various events, activities in a workplace or various transactions that are recorded and organized to convey a meaning. Information can also be contained in facts, ideas, imagination, opinions which can be present in various media such as print, audio and video (Olowu, 2004). Data is gathered using information systems which further process this data to convert it into useful information. Information is a necessity in every part of the organization such as finance, human resource, management, sales etc. Without information, the organization would collapse since information is the life blood of modern organizations (Opara, 2003).
