Benefits
Customer service is improved as users can see who is calling prior to answering the call so the correct person can pick up the telephone thus avoiding call transfers and customers being placed on hold
Customer satisfaction is improved as customers are aware that users know their identity prior to taking the call and further time is saved asking for the identity of the incoming caller
Time is saved because searching for the caller's account is eliminated
Time is saved on dialling out as the number does not have to be keyed into the telephone keypad
Fewer "wrong numbers" are experienced saving time and wasted call charges
