Case Study: Covr Financial Technologies
How Covr Enhanced Customer Engagement with Cisco UC and Enghouse Interactive Call Center
When Covr outgrew its existing call center and infrastructure, they began the search for a more flexible, scalable call center solution. Cerium consultants first worked with Covr to thoroughly understand their business needs and desired outcomes. After weighing all the alternatives, Cerium recommended Cisco Communication Manager and Enghouse Interactive contact center solutions to replace their aging Mitel phone system.

The Challenge
- Driven by the increasing popularity of their business model, Covr was growing, both in terms of scale of operations, as well as volume of business.
- Their existing infrastructure was already up to capacity and they had outgrown their existing Mitel call center.
- As their environment evolved and became more complex, they began exploring options for a more flexible, scalable call center solution with advanced call tracking, routing, and call recording features capable of meeting this growing and ever-changing demand.
The Solution
- Cerium consultants focused on Covr’s business needs rather than any specific technology and after weighing all the alternatives recommended Cisco Communication Manager and Enghouse Interactive contact center solutions to replace their aging Mitel phone system.
- The Cisco and Enghouse combination offered Covr a cost-effective solution that could handle calls seamlessly, increase productivity, and boost agent effectiveness.
The Results
- Covr’s new full-featured call center combines superior call handling features with rich directory and presence information enables agents to quickly, professionally and efficiently manage customer interactions.
- Users are happy with the collaboration features and the smartphone functionality; particularly Covr’s remote workforce, which has doubled since the implementation.
- Customer interactions captured by Enghouse call recording for feedback and training have helped Covr improve quality assurance and compliance obligations.
“Cerium implementation engineers were highly knowledgeable and easy to interact with. And the training experience was excellent.”
