Duration: 90 minutes

Cost: $50 per attendee.

Description:
Building applications and systems to support customer processes - either self service or call center support - requires an understanding of your customer's 'intent' as well as their mental model. Terminology has to be intuitive and self evident in the case of self service, or needs to lead the service rep down the correct path in the case of call center support.

In this session, you'll hear about:

- a large health insurance company who will discuss how they approached developing a taxonomy and metadata
standard to support a 17,000 person call center

- a case study about a large UK based telecom service company and how they structured content and
tagging to support web self service and an interactive voice response (IVR) deployment.
