MetricNet Delivers Presentation on Benchmarking at ICMI's Contact Center Demo 2018

MCLEAN, Va., Nov. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Jeff Rumburg, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of MetricNet, presented Session 501, "Turbocharge Your Metrics with Benchmarking!" at the Annual ICMI Demo in Las Vegas, NV. In the presentation, Mr. Rumburg shared the results of MetricNet's 2018 Global Benchmarking Initiative. Additionally, discussed the Benchmarking Methodology, defined the KPIs used for benchmarking, and provided performance data from more than 300 contact centers worldwide.

"Benchmarking is a proven tool for optimizing contact center performance. Effective benchmarking enables a contact center to quantify its performance, compare against others in the industry, identify performance gaps, and define the actions necessary to optimize performance," said Jeff Rumburg. "Industry data shows that contact centers that conduct annual benchmarking are far more likely to achieve world-class performance, yet fewer than 20% of all contact centers engage in benchmarking."

Those interested in this presentation can find a copy of the slide deck on MetricNet's website. Mr. Rumburg also presented Session 204, "A New World Order - Managing Your Contact Center as a Business!" on Tuesday, November 13, 2018.

Mr. Rumburg is the winner of the Ron Muns Lifetime Achievement Award, was named one of HDI's Top 25 Thought Leaders in Technical Support and Service Management for 2016 and 2017, and has served on HDI's strategic advisory board. He is co-founder and Managing Partner of MetricNet, LLC, where he is responsible for global strategy, product development, and client engagement delivery. As a leading expert in benchmarking and re-engineering, Mr. Rumburg authored a best- selling book on benchmarking, and has been retained as a benchmarking expert by such iconic companies as American Express, Intel, Coca Cola, and Emory Healthcare.
