12 2016 Current State CONSTRAINTS Regionalized contact center ACD/PBX technology Multiple disparate technology solutions and vendors (IVR, ACD, , recording) Limited contact choices (voice, ) Sub-optimized workforce management IMPACT TO THE GUEST Limited hours of availability Poor guest experience Lack of a business continuity plan Fragmented brand perception Missed guest connections Slow response due to staffing

13 Thinking Differently FROM Reduce cost per contact TO Increase value per contact Not maintaining or updating technology Past-focused culture, maintain current state (defensive) Contact center isolated, not a strategic asset Integrated, flexible, future-ready platforms Culture looking ahead at opportunities for growth (offensive) Contact center channels and capabilities woven into the endto-end customer experience

17 CXone Voice as a Service Business Impacts Before CXone each site had a premises-based PBX for telephony. When we added a new franchisee, it took twice as long (20 mins vs 10 mins) to set up the routing. With VaaS we now have the ability to terminate all numbers at one of our locations and be forwarded to a distant location for expanded service hours. NICE incontact lets us leverage the power of a global network, without the burden of the full cost for that network. CXone has globalized our telephony in way that was not possible before for a shop of our size. 17
