The presentation was co-led by Ulysses Learning’s Senior Vice President Dina Vance, and Greg Dollack, Performance Solutions Specialist at Independence Blue Cross.

“Because 2009 has been a tough year for many organizations, we wanted to show contact center executives how it is possible to increase contact center efficiency in trying economic times,” said. Brodsky. “Attendees learned how to improve the overall customer experience and metrics by making critical changes to their contact center’s culture and status quo.”

 

The conference was held at Disney’s Contemporary Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida during March 1 to March 4, 2009.

 

As TMCnet reported last year, Technology Marketing Corporation chose Ulysses Learning’s CallMentor software for one of its 2008 Product of the Year Awards, presented by Customer Interaction Solutions magazine.

 

Ulysses Learning released in 2008 an enhanced version of its CallMentor Learning and Performance Improvement System. The upgraded system offers additional self-directed learning capabilities designed to enable organizations the ability to use fewer resources to train large number of agents effectively, even if those agents are dispersed locally, nationally or globally.

 

With the addition of this enhanced self-directed learning capability, Ulysses Learning has furthered its position as the leading provider of contact center training, offering the most robust simulation-based e-Learning program in the marketplace.
