New for 21.2
Our 21.2 quarterly release delivers numerous enhancements geared specifically for customer support teams—all with the end goal of maximizing your organization’s efficiency. For example, new integrations between Calix Support Cloud and CommandIQ® give customer support representatives (CSRs) direct visibility into subscriber settings in the “My Priorities” capability of ExperienceIQ™, enabling them to work directly with the subscriber to view or change their device or traffic prioritization settings. In addition, the new Wi-Fi performance dashboard enables CSRs to proactively identify and resolve common issues such as signal strength, interference, and channel utilization to reduce inbound calls. Finally, the recently launched GigaSpire® BLAST u6x is also fully visible within Calix Support Cloud so that CSRs can maintain a world-class experience across the entire GigaSpire BLAST family. Calix customers have already seen significant boosts to operational efficiency, such as achieving 74 percent first call resolution rates and 26 percent reduction in truck rolls, all while providing exceptional services that excite subscribers and grow their businesses.
