Enterprise Workforce Optimization Takes Center Stage at Verint Witness Actionable Solutions Annual Driving Innovation Customer Conference

Verint^® Systems Inc. today announced the conference schedule for the upcoming Verint^® Witness Actionable Solutions^® global user conference, taking place May 24-27 at the Buena Vista Palace Hotel & Spa in Orlando, Florida. Sponsoring partners include Avaya, Microsoft and SAP, among others.

This year’s Driving Innovation™ event will feature customer case studies, creative practices and business trends, in addition to profiles on the latest advancements in the enterprise workforce optimization (WFO) market. Designed to foster information sharing and practical insights, it will include keynotes, roundtables, panels, peer networking and one-on-ones to help customers maximize their investments. The event also helps organizations exchange tips and best practices, and learn about new ideas — including strategies that align customer service operations in the contact center through to the broader enterprise.

Driving Innovation keynotes will include motivational speaker and author Steve Gilliland. Taking attendees on an eye-opening journey, Gilliland will offer ideas on uncovering hidden abilities and accomplishing goals. Other keynotes represent customer and partner organizations sharing their real-world experiences, perspectives and techniques. The event also will feature sessions - such as those from the Society of Workforce Planning Professionals (SWPP) and the Customer Experience Doctor - on the trends shaping the market in 2010 and beyond. These include growth and customer service impact in such areas as desktop and process analytics, remote agent programs and enterprise-wide WFO, with a unique focus on branch banks and back-office operations departments.

Customer presentations will explore such topics as:
