Abstract

Recently, the role of the contact center for business-to-consumer (B2C) operations is becoming more and more important as the customer contact point. In particular, an Internet Protocol (IP)-based contact center system is made up of a complicated information system in order to accommodate various customer channels, in addition to the telephone, and to respond in real time. However, until now, evaluations of contact centers have focused on customer service-based research from inbound contact centers. We used the contact center as a measure of performance, focusing on indicators that have traditionally influenced customer satisfaction, such as response rates and service levels. There is insufficient research on the characteristics of the services that a contact center should have and on the evaluation models for information systems. The role of information systems is becoming important as the latest contact center, which has moved from the TDM-driven digital phone system center to the IP-based contact center, accommodates a variety of digital channels other than voice phones. In particular, as offline branches decrease due to the development of the Internet and mobile phones, non-facing responses to customers are important, so the contact center has influenced the enterprise. Therefore, we developed an evaluation model not only in terms of customer service, but also from information system and business aspects, using the AHP and verifying the evaluation model through empirical cases. In particular, content analysis was used to ensure objectivity of AHP evaluation items.

최근 기업의 대고객 비지니스에서 컨택센터의 역할은 대고객 접점으로서 점점 더 중요해지고 있다. 특히 IP기반의 컨택센터 시스템은 전화 외에 다양한 고객 채널을 수용하고 실시간 응대를 하기 위해 정보 시스템이 복잡하게 구성되어 있다. 하지만 지금까지 컨택센터를 위한 평가는 인바운드 컨택센터에 기반을 둔 고객 서비스 차원의 연구가 중심었다. 응대율, 서비스레벨과 같은 전통적인 고객만족도에 영향을 주는 지표들을 중심으로 컨택센터를 평가하고 성과 지표로 삼았다. 컨택센터가 가져야 하는 서비스의 특성과 이를 위한 정보 시스템에 대한 평가 모델에 대한 연구는 미흡하였다. TDM방식의 디지털 전화 시스템 중심에서 IP기반의 컨택센터로 변화된 최근의 컨택센터는 음성 전화외에 다양한 디지털 채널을 수용하면서 정보시스템의 역할이 중요해지고 있다. 특히 인터넷과 모바일의 발전으로 인해 지점이 줄어들면서 고객에 대한 비대면 대응이 중요해지면서 기업의 비즈니스에도 컨택센터는 많은 영향을 주고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 컨텍센터를 단순히 고객 서비스 측면 뿐 만 아니라 정보시스템 측면과 비즈니스측면에서 평가하기 위한 IP기반 컨택센터에 대한 평가 모델을 AHP기법을 이용하여 수립하고 이에 대한 실증 사례 적용을 통해 평가 모델을 검증한다. 특히 AHP 평가 항목의 객관성을 확보하기 위해 내용분석 기법을 활용하였다.
