US State Turns on COVID-19 Vaccine Appointment Scheduling Hotline in Less Than a Day with Bright Pattern

COVID-19 vaccine appointment hotline deployed in record time – 23 hours – by Atento and Bright Pattern with an agreement for 1500 agents

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO,Calif.,April 1,2021 --Bright Pattern,a leading provider of AI-powered cloud contact center software,has been deployed to help schedule COVID-19 vaccination appointments. The appointment scheduling hotline needed to be deployed in less than a day to accommodate the rapid distribution of vaccinations to the citizens of the state. Bright Pattern,the contact center software with the fastest deployment time of less than half the industry average,was deployed in 23 hours,making it the fastest COVID hotline deployed to help decrease the spread of COVID-19. In just 23 hours,200 remote agents were trained and started handling calls on the Bright Pattern platform with a record 14,000 calls on day one of the campaign.

Atento,one of the top five customer relationship management and business process outsourcing providers (BPO),evaluated many contact center solutions including Genesys and Avaya,but partnered with Bright Pattern because of its remote agent capabilities,ease of use,and speed of deployment. "Bright Pattern had a contact center up and running in just 23 hours. The other vendors we were talking with simply couldn't deploy the agents quickly enough for this urgent need," said Hugo Martinez,Regional Technical Account Manager and Securityat Atento. The Bright Pattern platform also provided the scalability needed. "In just a week of using Bright Pattern,we saw a 70% increase in agents and have plans to grow to 1500 agents over the next month," continued Martinez.
