    Shannon Spivey has been the Customer Relationship Manager for the
    Baldwin County Commission since November 2006.  She is responsible for
    the management of the call center which includes gathering information,
    referring citizens to the appropriate agency and the overall health and
    efficiency of the call center at large.

    Where is the KNOWLEDGE in your organization?

    Knowledge is king in Baldwin County, AL – both in the contact center and
    on the web -  with an average of over 80% of its non-emergency calls per
    month consistently addressed with information in their knowledge base.
    Live and operational since July 2004, the Baldwin County Commission Call
    Center receives calls for over 200 government offices, agencies and
    departments into its central switchboard.  Fielding over 25,000 calls per
    month on average, this county of 167,000 people is challenging some of
    the country's most successful call centers with its efficiency, accessibility
    and data-driven momentum.

    With state and local governments under extreme pressure to justify their
    technology investments, solutions that support performance management
    have an extra advantage.  The County was live within 90 days of its first
    meeting with their CRM Account Manager and began reaping the benefits
    of a consolidated call center on Day 1.  The combination of accurate
    information in the knowledge base and its ability to generate reports on
    response rates, service requests and resolutions are core to the success
    of Baldwin's contact center.  Hear from Baldwin County's Customer
    Relationship Manager to find out how the County is delivering quality
    information and superior customer service.
