2. Employment History:
Nationwide Insurance Company
Unified Communications Business Analyst 01/07/15 to current
• I have been writing requirements, use cases, and documenting business process mapping
for a variety of enhancement projects for their contact center and managing multiple
projects. At times requirements were written in parallel with design documentation.
Facilitating meetings with business owners, application owners, developers, testers, and
technical development leaders to gain the necessary knowledge and gather the
requirements. Below is a list of the projects I have worked on:
Genesys Interactive Insights reporting tool enhancing their reporting capabilities - This
project installed Genesys Infomart with Interactive Insights for CSC and FSC Contact
Centers. The project implemented the product to gather reporting data and train
associates on the new reporting tool.
• I360 data into Lighthouse - The Business Metrics & Analytics team was in need of
getting i360 data that is currently stored in a SQL server into the Lighthouse data
warehouse to allow for better data management and reporting.
• Web Support IVR Expansion - Direct and Member Solutions waned to expand the
number of locations for the Web Support contact center team. The team was operating
out of the Lynchburg location only. Calls reach this team via a TFN which directs to an
IVR routing call to various business units including P&C sales and service, NF, Titan
service etc. The routing targeting the Direct Web Support team is accomplished using
Avaya CMS skills. This changed to Genesys call routing.
• Verint Data Processing & Analytics – The pilot of the Verint out of the box DPA solution
added a layer of performance data for the processing centers in CSSS. This pilot
provided processing leadership the benefit to electronically capture website and
application data to manage productive, non productive, and idle time, more accurately
forecast future work, opportunity to streamline processes, and identify coaching
opportunities.
• Claims Contact Center IVR routing enhancement project - IVR Efficiencies introduced
enhanced and new IVR navigation and features, identifying and providing new routing
for medical provider calls, specialized handling of agency calls, and updated handling for
property and Spanish/Chinese calls with unique call types and/or skilling associated with
each.

3. • New contact center set up for IVR skill based call routing for Gainesville location - A
300-350-person contact center is planned for the Gainesville, Florida building. This size
will be accomplished over time. The intent of this project was to establish the
infrastructure to support Member Solutions – Personal Lines Services (Call Center)
associates and the appropriate contact center required tools and licenses. This should
replicate the set up of the Personal Lines Call centers in Dublin, Des Moines, and San
Antonio.
• Oracle Server upgrade/database migration - The CTI databases were hosted on out of
warranty shared Linux servers. This deliverable refreshed the databases to a new set of
shared Linux servers by migrating them to the current Oracle version 12.
• Outside vendor IVR and call routing set up for a Virginia location - Direct Sales contact
centers were experiencing high call volumes and are unable to scale up or down in a
timely manner which resulted in higher abandonment rate. The selected vendor
Sutherland Global will handle the call overflow. Sutherland Global will staff 22 agents, a
QA Manager, SME, and Team Leader at their Chesapeake, Virginia location.
• Schedule Future Payments - Members were not able to schedule a future payment via
IVR. They were limited to paying their bill at the time they interact with us. With this
enhancement members have the ability to schedule a one-time EFT or one-time bankcard
payment to be executed on a date in the future (within certain parameters) and a
confirmation text message is sent.
• Last Day to Pay via IVR - Communicate to members the last day to pay to avoid a lapse
in coverage for policies in warned status via the IVR and include verbiage in a one time
text message request.
