Phase I – BUSA Tier One Contact Center SupportAnswering inquiries on a variety of business-related topics, including but not limited to small business owners and individual entrepreneurs looking for federal business programs, financial assistance, assistance with intellectual property matters, and data and information to support business decision making.
• Initial contact center will provide a ‘warm’ handoff from one main hotline – 1-800-FEDINFO – to the appropriate call center contact number at the individual agency; and, pilot handoffs between existing contact centers at SBA, PTO and Census
• The long-term vision extrapolates the “no wrong door” approach to all business-facing contact center hotlines
BUSA Contact Center Pilot
• The 90-day deliverable for call centers focused on training for 1-800-FED-INFO
• FY13 work will focus on piloting warm transfers, building the FAQs and knowledgebase, training and new features (e-mail & chat)
• Additional analysis, research and cost estimates will inform the long-term vision

Customers Drive Innovation

Designed With Mobile In Mind
• Addresses “shallow” nature of the site by providing a landing page that users can bookmark and return to other than the homepage
• Zip code driven content better than the current “state and local” laundry list
