<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Preparing for the Upturn<br />Driving Efficiency and Effectiveness<br /><span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 12px;">Industry Trends, Growth Perspectives and Technology View Points<br /><em>Tuesday, 24 November 2009<br />at&nbsp;Hotel Sofitel Philippine Plaza,&nbsp;Manila</em></span></strong></p>
<p>The current economic crisis has put severe pressure on organizations to ensure growth and profitability. To achieve these two metrics in today&rsquo;s economy, organizations need to be ever more customer centric, agile and cost-conscious. Technology plays a key role in enabling organizations in both these aspects.&nbsp;<br /><br />Customer retention needs to be top priority for all organizations, as the recession tends to increase customer churn, giving customers more options and better deals. In addition to managing rising customer expectations, we believe one of the most important considerations right now for any organization must be to focus on efficiencies. The biggest cost element in any contact center and BPO operation is the human cost, and hence focus on workforce optimization is critical today.&nbsp;<br /><br />Frost &amp; Sullivan in collaboration with Verint presents "<em>Preparing for the Upturn - Driving Efficiency and Effectiveness</em>" -- an event designed to help you improve your strategic position in the marketplace.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.intranetsys.com/contact/">Request an invitation now</a></p>
