MUMBAI, India, May 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Tata Interactive Systems showcased how its Electronic Performance Support Systems are helping organizations worldwide ramp up their productivity at Dynamic Contact Centre Solutions 2008, an International Quality and Productivity Centre (IQPC) event in Sydney, Australia (31st March to 2nd April).

On-the-job support is critical for any organization seeking to boost its employees' productivity. Tata Interactive Systems develops tools to allow staff to do their jobs right the first time, maximizing efficiency and minimizing costly errors.

These performance support systems, which include tools such as process maps, calculators, encyclopedias etc. were on display at the IQPC conference recently held in Sydney, Australia. These EPSS tools are developed by TIS to closely mimic a company's own internal processes and business rules, so even completely new recruits can quickly get up to speed on the nuances of their specific job roles.

According to Candida Chandorkar, Vice President - Australia & New Zealand at TIS: "TIS's EPSS equips employees with context sensitive help when they need it the most - while they are working. This not only helps reduce turnaround time but also improves the customer experience, by providing a consistent and high quality interface to the company.

"This helps organizations quickly tide over attrition crises and other problems due to critical knowledge being concentrated within a few senior or experienced employees."

Saurabh Mittal, Head of EPSS at TIS adds, "Our performance systems have already delivered several millions of dollars in savings for clients through increased revenues, lower errors and a significant reduction in time to competence."

TIS's EPSS has been the winner of several awards including the Performance Centered Design and the IT Training Award.
