Opera Performance Accelerator

Driving true performance improvement in agent-based organizations.

Sectors as diverse as finance, healthcare, education, and collections all face a common problem: their performance rests on the actions of thousands of individual agents — salespeople, financial advisors, teachers, and more — taken individually on a daily basis.

Influencing agents to improve the performance of the organization as a whole presents many challenges. First, there's the question of assessing an individual agent's performance. How can this be accomplished when each one's book of business, composition of classroom, details of debtors, and other factors specifically related to his or her environment, is so different? How can you determine the root causes of underperformance?

Even if you can assess performance, there's still the question of improving it. How can you select and deliver ongoing and individuated guidance to agents focused on the most important improvement opportunities facing them that day? How can you bring to their attention benchmarks and best practices?

Opera's Performance Accelerator solution uniquely solves these problems for agent-based organizations. Built on the Vektor™ Big Data analytics and signal processing platform, the Performance Accelerator is capable of performing the billions of calculations required to create apples-to-apples performance assessments in complex and fluid environments. The Performance Accelerator solution also combines massive machine intelligence and a rich software interface to identify and deliver specific recommendations for each individual agent that will truly drive better performance.

We offer specific Performance Accelerator solutions for collections, education, hospitals, and wealth management.
Collecting Information to Increase Collections

The Opera Performance Accelerator for Collections combines advanced analytics and clustering algorithms to isolate target populations and deliver highly adaptive recommendations right to collectors' desks.

Our solution is the analytic force behind a dynamic Collector Workstation that serves up fresh guidance and intelligence for each call a collector makes. It applies Opera's powerful willingness-and-ability-to-pay analytics against an ongoing stream of fresh and powerful data. Agents see a dynamic dashboard right on their desktops that provides a detailed, real-time profile of each delinquent individual, and serves up a tailored talk-off and optimized settlement plan. Agents can even update the profile during a call, and strategies will adjust accordingly.

The Performance Accelerator for Education serves up a curriculum of improvement for teachers and students alike.

Our recommendation engine serves up specific, individuated guidance to teachers focused on things they can do to improve their performance within their own personal environment and challenges.

Now there's a way to invest in success.

If you're leading a wealth management firm, you know how hard it can be to improve the performance of your financial advisors. After all, each has hundreds of accounts and is executing actions against dozens of different types of investor requirements, choosing among thousands of potential instruments.

How can you possibly compare their performance, determine the root causes of underperformance, and deliver relevant, timely advice for each advisor?

Opera's Performance Accelerator has cracked the problem. It generates billions of performance calculations on demand and aggregates them up to the advisor and business unit level into accurate, apples-to-apples comparative sets. The solution then extracts the specific root causes of over- and under-performance.

To do this, we've brought together account-level data into meaningful — and comparable — composites by codifying thousands of complex business rules and creating machine-readable descriptions of investment types, performance and risk patterns, and investors' strategic objectives.

And that was just the beginning. For one installation, we're assessing advisors' performance across more than 500 cohorts, using the Vektor™ platform's massive processing capabilities to handle 10 terabytes of data and process more than 20 billion calculations each month.

Finally, we've created the delivery and human interface technology to bring this information to individual financial advisors, where they can see how their performance stacks ups against their true peers for different portfolio and investor types. And, as important, understand what their best-performing peers are doing differently — so they can learn what they can do themselves to improve.

Clearer performance assessments, more applicable best practices from the most relevant peers — does this sound like an attractive investment in your firm's performance?

If so, please invest in a click-through.
