Orange cures ailing contact center solution for DiaSorin

Contact Center Access increases call routing efficiency in 28 countries

DiaSorin S.p.A. (FTSE MIB:DIA), a global healthcare leader in developing, producing and distributing immunodiagnostic kits, is using Orange Business to cure an ailing contact center solution. Under a 3-year contract for Contact Center Acces, Orange Business will provide DiaSorin, based in Saluggia, Italy, call collection coverage in 28 countries enabling customer support calls to be routed and processed more rapidly.

worldwide access to customer support
Orange Business is creating a unique centralized call center in Italy that will reduce customer wait times and enable customers to contact DiaSorin regardless of the customer’s geographic location. Contact Center Access offers the broadest global coverage on the market – with call collection from 110 countries – and a variety of access methods (local number, toll-free, international toll free and toll-share).

simple to manage
With this solution from Orange Business, DiaSorin benefits from managed global call collection infrastructure with a single provider using centralized tools that give the needed visibility and control. Additional cost savings can be realized because the solution reduces the need for support from local DiaSorin departments.

flexible billing Orange Business offers flexible billing options to suit the customer’s business needs and payment can be made in any major currency. DiaSorin can choose between one invoice for all its sites sent to a specific site or one local invoice for each local site.

“Instead of struggling with a pieced-together call center solution, DiaSorin is using Orange Business to provide a global, end-to-end managed service, eliminating the need for multiple inbound voice service providers and plugging the holes in our existing call center coverage,” said Ferdinando Peretto, CIO, DiaSorin Group. “In addition, Orange Business will provide the improved quality of service and response times required by DiaSorin.

The primary goal of a contact center solution from Orange Business is to enable our customers to provide superior customer support without borders or limitations,” said Helmut Reisinger, senior vice president, Orange Business, Europe. “We enable companies like DiaSorin to globalize and virtualize their customer support strategies. Our flexible contact center portfolio allows companies to provide the best customer experience to their customers in the most cost-effective manner as well as in the best form of interaction to customers.” DiaSorin has been leveraging Business VPN, a fully-managed, secure, global IP infrastructure from Orange Business, since 2010. Business VPN connects 16 DiaSorin locations in Europe, the Americas and Asia, provides access to convergence solutions, and enables secure access to the Enterprise Resource Planning application from SAP.
