ePLDT, the country’s premier IT company, featured its contact center solution during the recently concluded 5th ASEAN Immigration Intelligence Forum, which was hosted by the Bureau of Immigration.

This event, attended by immigration heads, intelligence chiefs, and consuls from the ten member-countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), was a venue to hold discussions on important issues such as border management, anti-terrorism, campaign against transnational crimes, tourism development, and emergency assistance programs during regional disasters. It was also an opportunity for Philippine immigration officials and their ASEAN counterparts to exchange information on immigration matters.

As part of the exhibit, ePLDT demonstrated the Unified Contact Center Plus (UCCP) contact center solution which government institutions such as the Bureau of Immigration can employ to improve customer communications and service delivery. The forum participants had a first-hand look at how the contact center system would work via a simulation conducted by ePLDT’s technical team, using the UCCP solution to run the Bureau of Immigration’s National Operations Center (NOC).

The agency’s NOC is expected to be linked to the Citizen’s Helpline, a project launched early this year by the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) and the Civil Service Commission (CSC). The Citizen’s Helpline will interconnect the public assistance systems of various government agencies into a single hotline which the public can call to report complaints or inquire about services.
