This topic discusses the business processes that you can perform using PeopleSoft CRM call center applications. We discuss these business processes in greater detail in the business process topics in this documentation. You'll find greater detail for each in the corresponding business process topics.

Business Processes for Call Center Applications

These business processes apply to PeopleSoft Support, Service Center for Higher Education, HelpDesk and HelpDesk for Human resources. They enable you to:

  • Create and manage cases, including those originating in a third-party system.

  • Configure the Case page to display the information, fields, and layout specific to your support and information-gathering requirements.

  • Use a skills-based assignment engine to assign cases to the agents and provider groups that are most qualified to handle the cases.

  • Create and manage solution libraries, search the solution library using text searches, and search for and view defects and enhancements.

  • Track both successful and unsuccessful attempts to resolve cases.

  • Embed analytics to suggest next actions and provide related dialogs based on the information and responses entered for a case.

  • Deploy self-service transactions that callers can use to search for solutions and to report, review, and update their own cases.

  • Relate cases to each other.

  • Enable chat for self-service customers.

  • Manage work using structured task lists known as business projects.

  • Add and track tasks.

  • Use troubleshooting scripts, customer satisfaction scripts, and surveys to gather information from callers.

  • Assign system access to users by role using authentication tokens.

  • Invoice customers for services rendered, regardless of whether a service agreement is in place (used only for PeopleSoft Support).
