Things that have ruined sports coverage in Boston for me
There are times in which I go into a sports funk. Well, I guess it really isn't a sports funk, because I always enjoy watching the games. I'm just as excited about each game that my favorite teams play as I have ever been. However, I'm not enjoying what surrounds those games. Programming and reporting that should enhance my knowledge and enjoyment of the games are instead taking away from them. After thinking things over, I've come up with a list of media related developments and trends which are actually taking away from my enjoyment of sports coverage here in Boston. I repeat myself a few times in this list, I'm sure, and some of the items are perhaps connected with other items in the list, but I think each point deserved its own listing. Without further ado, here is my list of…
Things that have ruined sports coverage in Boston for me:
1) Contrarians simply out to make a name for themselves.
Otherwise known as the Let me say something so incredibly stupid that people can't help but take notice and have me on their shows so I can defend my position, and get more attention and make money and then be a regular guest on those shows while I continue to say dumb things just for the sake of standing out and being different. This is probably the biggest problem in the sports media right now. You get rewarded for being a contrarian, no matter how stupid what you say really is. It allows people with no talent to keep in the spotlight and get their names talked about.
2) Arguing and controversy over everything.
I blame ESPN for a lot of this, though it can likely be traced back to the news world of FOX News and other roundtable discussions where a lot of shouting and back and forth is going on.
It seems every conversation this day on radio and television must have two strongly divided sides. Each side has to vigorously defend their stance, under no circumstance admitting defeat or even the merits of the other side. While the outlets will strongly deny that they choose up sides prior to a show, what are they supposed to say? That it is all contrived? The fact is, this "choosing up sides" does happen. I was talking to a media type recently who had appeared on an ESPN program. He told me that he was told the subject matter they would be discussing, and then that "It would be great if you could just shoot down everything this other guy says."
Is this supposed to be entertaining? The shows then become nothing more than two egos battling it out and trying to get the upper hand, no matter how ridiculous and weak their stand might be. It's not informative, in fact, if you have a convincing person arguing for the "wrong" side, the shows can even be misleading. There?s a misguided thought among the media that the public wants and craves "opinions?. Not so. We have our own. We don't need to hear ALL of yours.
3) Talk Radio
It started out with such promise. Sports fans could have a station dedicated to talking about their local sports teams. They would hear analysis and discussions of last night's game or listen to interviews by players, executives and reporters. This didn't last long, because this "reading the boxscores" over the air approach was deemed to be too boring. What the station needed was a "hook"- as if sports fans weren't loyal enough to come back and listen each day – the station decided that creating a daily "soap opera" would be the way to go. They would create cartoonish characters for themselves, invent plots and subplots, all filled with controversy and negative talk, to keep the listener coming back each day. Actual sports talk is replaced with endless debates filled with fake passion about the same subjects over and over again. Apparently it works for them, but I've got to wonder – are the ratings really that much higher as a result of these changes? With the incredible success of the local teams as of late, wouldn't there be just as many people tuning in?
On the recent edition of WCVB's Chronicle which featured WEEI, Glenn Ordway said that the station gets criticized because the hosts often are talking and yelling over each other during the course of a show. He said this is actually something they try to do, because, Ordway claimed, the average fan when he gets together with his friends be it at a bar or in their living room, is going to shout and yell over their friends to get their point heard.
I'm sorry, but is this true? When you get together with your friends, are you constantly talking over them, yelling at them, making fun of their weight, and saying outrageous things to bait them? It may happen occasionally that you have a heated discussion over a topic, but it's certainly the exception to the rule, and not really something that is enjoyable. But for some reason, this is now the standard for talking sports on radio and TV in Boston.
4) Baseball games treated like football games
I think this is purely a Boston thing. Every Red Sox game is analyzed and dissected on talk radio and in the papers as if it were 1/16th of the season as NFL games are, instead of the 1/160th of the season that baseball games really are. This results in each and every game, and each and every decision by the manager being second guessed and placed in a vacuum apart from the "big picture" that is the 162 game season. There's no perspective there. As the games, weeks and months go by, the intensity builds, it reaches a boiling point so that every single game, every single hit and error is LIFE OR DEATH. No enjoyment of the games here when a bunt single in he first week of June is debated to death on the airwaves for three whole weeks.
5) The Haters
Being "objective" or not "in the pocket" of the local team apparently means for some media types around Boston that you must display maniacal hatred for those teams. You must work hard to find every fault and point out every possible bad angle and negative spin you can put on a situation. Otherwise, you are nothing but a "homer." God forbid.
6) Media relationships and rivalries (Globe vs WEEI)
The listeners and viewers suffer because of these petty "rivalries." Wouldn't you like to hear Bob Ryan or Jackie MacMullan on the Big Show? While I mentioned above that I dislike contrived controversies it would be interesting to see a guy like Ron Borges, who truly despises the Patriots go at it on the Big Show against Ordway, Sheppard, Smerlas and DeOssie. While neither side would make many coherent points, currently Borges only appears on outlets where his outlandish claims and venom go largely unchecked. This isn't fake or contrived controversy. If Borges really has issues with the way the Patriots and Bill Belichick do things, I'd like to see him have to explain and defend his views against someone who is going to challenge him, not give him a pulpit to spout his "Bill Belichick was the 2nd gunman" theories.
The same thing applies to television. You're not going to see any of the Globe writers on FSN, or any of the WEEI or Herald guys on NESN. You thus get an incomplete view of the Boston sports scene.
7) The Internet
What? Isn't this an Internet site? In many ways, the internet has been a boon for the sports world. Fans can look up information, statistics and get together with fellow fans on message boards dedicated to their favorite team. Sounds great, huh? Unfortunately, whenever you get people together on-line, you get trolls. Whether they be people who delight in baiting others and causing chaos on message boards (even ones operated by media outlets), or people who create their own inflammatory "fan" websites for the sole purpose of posting negative, sometimes hateful opinion and stirring up trouble with "rumors" that they create themselves, these ones can take the joy out of following sports for many.
8) Panicmongers
I heard Michael Felger use this term on FSN one night to describe another person on the show. It fits perfectly. With some media types, the sky is always falling, even after the first preseason game for any sport. What could go wrong? What if (superstar) gets injured? Is (draft choice, free agent, trade) a total bust? Is (superstar) done? Could (coach, executive) be in danger of losing his job should (unlikely catastrophic event) happen?
9) "Throwing it out there"
I don't have any basis for this, but I'm going to bring it up anyway. – That's the essence of the I'm just going to throw this out there for discussion style. It may include accusing a player of using performance enhancing substances, or whether a coach or executive is in danger of losing his job should a certain (usually far-fetched) situation arise. Perhaps it's even done on a positive accomplishment: "Let's say David Ortiz breaks the franchise record for home runs, will he then demand another contract extension this offseason?"
10) Rooting "for the story"
When did this start? Has it always been this way? Instead of enjoying an outcome that will result in happiness for their audience, media types now root for whatever is likely to result in "the best story." Usually "the best story" is whatever is going to cause the most heartache for the local fans and be the most negative outcome possible. A devastating loss is somehow easier to write about then an exhilarating win.
11) The need to be "edgy"
WBCN had a perfectly good Patriots pregame show in years past. However, they started tweaking it with the express purpose of making it more "edgy" and "combative." A new host was brought in last year, one who was good at creating "problems" and "issues" that had to be addressed and fought over. This year, competent analysts Pete Brock and Tim Fox were dismissed in favor of guys who are going to yell at each other and be combative. The producer encourages this format, saying that it was their goal to bring this "edge" to the program. NECN has changed their Sports Late Night program, both during the week and on the weekends to be more "edgy" and more opinionated.
12) "Celebrity" Callers
You know the names. "Frank from Gloucester," "Alison from Cambridge," "Mike from Canton," "John from Medford," "Angry Bill," "Al from Everett" "Dakota from Braintree". The list goes on. Sometimes I'm hard pressed to figure out if they're calling the station, or if the station is calling them. They make regular appearances, seemingly on cue, and usually take the discussion on the air into a totally different direction. Always for the worse. They're usually some sort of "Superfan" – the worst type of fan. These so-called "fans" usually call up to rip the local teams or question the decisions of the coaches and managers. In the case of "Frank" and "Mike" they're Yankees fans who appear on the air to do nothing more than taunt Red Sox fans and stir up reaction. Sometimes they're just on the air to do nothing more than say incredibly stupid things and be the butt of jokes from hosts. ("John") Incredibly, some of these callers have even either been offered time on local radio stations, or have gone out and tried to get their own show. We had "Danny from Quincy" and another guy whose name I forget (Jack?) get segments hosting with Eddie Andelman on 1510. We had "Dakota" doing a short-lived morning show on the same station. Whenever a piece is done on Red Sox fans or WEEI callers, "Angry Bill" is trotted out before the cameras. What is the appeal?
13) I was right all along!
A proclamation is made. Usually there is very little evidence to prove this proclamation, the basis for the proclamation may even be disputed or proven to be out-and-out wrong. Weeks, months go by, and then by coincidence, the scenario described in the original proclamation actually comes about. That original statement is still dead wrong, but now the leap is made that the speaker was correct all along and now has been proven as such. He seeks vindication from any and all that will listen to him. One to look to for the future, and perhaps it is even happening now, is Borges proclaiming the Patriots championship run as a house of cards, ready to fall apart at any time. At some point, the Patriots are not going to win the Super Bowl, and Ron will be right there, telling us he was right all along. Even if that date turns out to be 2008. Glenn Ordway is another one who has perfected this tactic.
14) Politics
While Dennis and Callahan make no bones about the fact that their show is not strictly sports talk?a good deal of it is news, politics and entertainment, other shows which claim to be sports often work in their political views and get them out there to a huge audience. If a World event is happening, or even a local scandal, you can be sure that the sports experts are also going to bless us with their keen political insights and opinions. I use sports to get away from the news and politics of the world. I don?t need to hear the opinions of these guys on things that actually matter.
So what's the solution? Is there any? I have friends on the West coast, who are transplanted from here, and they've told me it has actually improved their enjoyment of rooting for their teams. They watch the games on the dish, or at a local bar that is full of fellow transplants. They might see some pre or post game shows, and go check out a newspaper or two online. Perhaps the forced cutback has increased their enjoyment of what they can get.
There is no doubt that Boston sports fans have an insatiable demand for information and talk about their teams. The local media has attempted to fill that demand with shows of all types and formats. Unfortunately, they're shows that for the most part, I don't enjoy. I listen and watch regardless, but it just could be so much better. I wish I could sit in these meetings where these plans are thought up and implemented. Who thinks that these elements are a good idea and add to the sports experience here in Boston?
It's not all bad. Perhaps next I'll come up with a list of the good things in the Boston sports media.

This week, we walked into the woods covered in sun cream and wearing our hats because the weather was beautiful and not only were we going to enjoy the sunshine but we had another treat lined up! It was a celebration Tree-mendous Tuesday and we were having a picnic and parachute games in the farmer's field.
Our friends had all brought lots of tasty food including smelly egg sandwiches, cakes baked by Sienna-Rose, tuna sandwiches (his favourite) from Mitchell and blueberries from Kayden as well as lots of crisps and biscuits that will keep us going for weeks.
We walked up to the farmer's field spotting monsters, The Gruffalo and hearing the Big Bad Wolf lurking in the trees but we weren't scared because we know it's only in our imagination. Jack could even see sharks swimming in the long grass! Be careful next time you are there!
Mrs Fenton led the parachute game and there was lots of singing too and you know what? It didn't scare the sunshine away! We sat on our picnic mats and tucked into our delicious food enjoying lots of lovely conversations with our friends about our pets, families and where we are going on holiday!
It was indeed a very Treemendous Tuesday. Well, aren't they always?!

Kemp Fort Mall
#97, Old Airport Road Ramagiri, Murgesh Pallya
560017 Bangalore
All stores, brands, shopping, restaurants, entertainment, cafes, movies, deals, offers, sales at Kemp Fort Mall,Old Airport Road, Bangalore. Kemp Fort Mall – The Most Exciting Shopping Destination is the result of more than 100 years of joint experience of Mr. Vashi Melwani and Mr. Ravi Melwani – the entrepreneurial father–son duo and eminent businessmen – who launched Kids Kemp, the exceptional retailing brand that shook India before modern retailing came to town.
Being pioneer innovators in the retailing industry, they set the trend of bringing hospitality, entertainment and retail therapy together, something that was only known to the West earlier, under one roof thus providing the shoppers with the firsthand experience in modern retailing
By opening a chain of 40 toy stores all over India, called Toys Kemp, and moving one milestone to other in a short time, starting with Kids Kemp, Big Kids Kemp and finally, the fantasy land of Kemp Fort, they have continually proved that their quest is to achieve excellence through innovation!
The Melwani duo built a mall in the form of a castle named Kemp Fort, spreading over 3,00,000 sq. ft., near the Bangalore Airport Road. It used to be a site straight from the medieval times, with huge turrets standing tall in the winds. With years of innovative growth, meeting with stupendous success, the Kemp chain of stores created history in the world of retailing.
However, Mr. Ravi Melwani, the CEO of Kemp Fort, took an exit from the highway of achievement to fulfill his spiritual calling. Therefore, he decided to shut down Kemp Fort and convert it into a mall, the Kemp Fort Mall
Initially, the mall was taken on lease by the Jubilant Retail Group and converted into TOTAL Mall, but as destiny would want it, Mr. Ravi Melwani is back with his vision of rebranding and relaunching the shopping paradise as Kemp Fort Mall. He aims to combine innovation, entertainment, and fun under one roof, thus providing a brand new, unique shopping experience to the visitors and turning Kemp Fort Mall into "The Most Exciting Shopping Destination" of Bangalore.
Shopping at Kemp Fort Mall will never be an errand, but an entertaining and a fun experience that will go beyond the expectations of the visitors. Going with the spree of the Kemp chain of stores, Kemp Fort Mall aims to cater to the shopping needs of the visitors from the city and across the country by taking retail therapy to a whole new level.

     // do any cleanup activities here if you need
  }
}

Now you have to make some  storyboard connections.   Go into your SecondViewController and ctrl-drag from your Controller icon to your Exit icon and you'll see a drop down like this:

Select the method to connect it and then you'll see an Unwind Segue in your SecondViewController in the storyboard.   Give that segue the identifier name of "YourUnwindSegueIdentifier" (so my sample code will work - or use whatever name you want).   Build and run and this should get you what you need.

A: First view controller:
@IBAction func modalDismissed(segue: UIStoryboardSegue) {
    print("Modal dismissed")
}

Modal view controller:
override func pressesBegan(presses: Set<UIPress>, withEvent event: UIPressesEvent?) {
    for item in presses {
        if item.type == .Menu {
            self.performSegueWithIdentifier("dismissModal", sender: nil)
        }
    }
    super.pressesBegan(presses, withEvent: event)
}

override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
    if segue.identifier == "dismissModal" {
        print("Modal Dismiss")
    }
}

Create an exit segue on modal view controller named "dismissModal"

A: This is the what worked for me using Swift 5:
private func setupRemoteGesture() {
    let tapRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(handleMenuPress))
    tapRecognizer.allowedPressTypes = [NSNumber(value: UIPress.PressType.menu.rawValue)]
    view.addGestureRecognizer(tapRecognizer)
}

@objc private func handleMenuPress() {
    // Menu button pressed
}

Q: Django 1.9 adding a class to form label In my forms.py file I reconfigured the class UserForm's __init__ function to include a css class. Unfortunately doing this only allowed me to add a class to the <input> and not the <label>. How can I add a class to the label as well?
Here is my forms.py file:
class UserForm(forms.ModelForm):
    # password = forms.CharField(widget=forms.PasswordInput())
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(UserForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields['email'].widget.attrs = {
            'class': 'form-control'
        }

    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ('email',)

    def clean_email(self):
        email = self.cleaned_data['email']
        if not email:
            raise forms.ValidationError(u'Please enter an email address.')
        if User.objects.exclude(pk=self.instance.pk).filter(email=email).exists():
            raise forms.ValidationError(u'Email "%s" is already in use.' % email)
        return email

When the Saints Come Marching In
Formerly troubled companies search for ways to wipe the slate clean and start over with investors.
Capital Markets CFO MagazineRisk & Compliance
As they attempt to rise from the ashes of their recent fraud debacles, several companies are lining up squeaky-clean new board members in hopes of regaining investors' trust.
For example, Dennis Beresford, former Financial Accounting Standards Board chief, and former U.S. Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach are helping MCI emerge from bankruptcy. Tyco International Ltd. is hoping some military discipline will help: the troubled conglomerate named Dennis Blair, retired commander-in-chief of the U.S. Pacific Command, to the board in March. Then there is Adelphia Communications Corp., which recently added former Securities and Exchange Commission member Philip Lochner Jr. to its team of directors. And Computer Associates International Inc.'s board boasts ex-SEC accountant Walter Schuetze.
"Formerly troubled companies are clearly searching for ways to wipe the slate clean and start over with investors," says Beth Young, senior research associate at The Corporate Library, an independent research firm. When a person with flawless credentials chooses to accept a board position, she says, it indicates to the public that the company has cleaned any skeletons out of its closet. "These are people who you would expect to do really impeccable due diligence," adds Young.
And these new directors are not simply for show; they bring experience and healthy skepticism to boards that were clearly missing those elements in recent years. Beresford, who sits on two other boards, says more companies are realizing they need serious financial know-how on their boards. "With the new reporting requirements, they want to make sure they get it right and aren't criticized," he says.
Yet even those with sterling reputations aren't immune from highly publicized controversies, as Tyco recently learned. It named former New York State Comptroller and Democratic gubernatorial nominee H. Carl McCall to the board in March. Lately McCall's been dealing with fallout at the New York Stock Exchange, where he chairs the compensation committee that has taken heat for chairman Dick Grasso's controversial $140 million pay package. (Since CFO magazine went to press, McCall has resigned from the NYSE board.) —Kate O'Sullivan
Never a company to do things on a small scale, Microsoft Corp. recently finished putting together a roster of nine new CFOs--one for each of its seven newly formed business units and two at the corporate level. Uber-CFO John Connors explained in a speech that the multiple roles were created as part of an effort to "really scale up the level of financial leadership."
For a company that has traditionally emphasized product development and marketing over financial management, the move acknowledges that Microsoft is no longer an upstart. Rob Helm, director of research at Directions on Microsoft, an independent research firm based in Kirkland, Wash., says the reorganization will bring more financial accountability to Microsoft. "Breaking the company into these seven businesses and publishing the results puts a certain amount of pressure on those managers."
Seven of the new executives are Microsoft veterans, including Bruce Jaffe, corporate vice president of MSN and now CFO of the Internet-services provider. The two outside hires boast significant experience: Alain Peracca, now CFO of the Windows Client division, comes from Hewlett-Packard, and Ken Mueller joins the Business Solutions group after a stint at Apple Computer.
At the corporate level, Microsoft named insiders Alain Crozier to CFO of its Sales, Marketing & Services Group, and Eileen Johnston to CFO of the Operations & Technology Group.
The new CFOs will handle budgeting, performance tracking, and even acquisitions activity for their respective areas, which begs the question: What will Connors do? Likely he'll have his hands full managing his finance chiefs. "It's gotten beyond what one person can do," says Helm. —K.O'S.
CFOs on the Move
Tom Arndorfer has been named VP and CFO of Nike USA. He was formerly controller of the global footwear unit of Nike Inc.... Linda Huber was appointed CFO of U.S. Trust Corp. The former managing director of Freeman & Co. succeeds Evelyn Dilsaver, who is now SVP of marketing, asset-management products and services, at Charles Schwab & Co.... Boston Beer Co., distributor of Samuel Adams beer, has tapped William Urich as CFO. The former CFO of Acirca, an organic food and beverage company, succeeds Richard Lindsay, who resigned in March.


New research presented at AcademyHealth's Annual Research Meeting (ARM) highlight opportunities to reduce opioid use, reduce overdose rates, and identify the different ways providers prescribe opioids to patients of different races and genders.
In response to the opioid epidemic, states are implementing various policies to increase prescribers' use of prescription drug monitoring programs. Researchers from Weill Cornell Medical College and the University of Pennsylvania examined the effects of three types of policies – one that requires prescriber use of PDMP at the point of care (also known as comprehensive use), one that allows prescribers to delegate use to office staff, and one that enables prescribers to see PDMP data from other states. They found that comprehensive use mandates were associated with the largest overall reduction in high-risk opioid use, followed by delegate laws. Reduction in high-risk opioid use associated with all policies strengthened over time.
Washington was the first state to implement an opioid guideline with a high-dose threshold, with Utah and Colorado following suit. Researchers from the University of Washington and the University of Toronto examined trends in rates of opioid overdose hospitalizations after adoption of the policy and found a significant downward trend relative to comparator states. That is, states that implemented a high dose threshold had more improvement in overdose hospitalization rates than states with no guideline.
Researchers from the National Institutes of Health and the DentaQuest Institute evaluated patterns of opioid prescriptions for dental conditions based on outpatient claims data for Medicaid-enrolled children and adults from 13 U.S. states. Their analysis revealed significant gender and racial disparities with the highest proportion of filled opioid prescriptions among African American and white women. Hispanics, regardless of gender, were found to be substantially less likely to receive an opioid prescription.

RIPTA Notifies Passengers that Masks Are Optional On Board Starting Tuesday, April 19, 2022
The Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA) is advising passengers that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is no longer enforcing a federal mandate requiring face masks to be worn when using public transportation. The mandate, which had been in place since February 1, 2021, was vacated by a federal judge in Florida yesterday. RIPTA drivers and passengers are no longer required to wear a mask on board starting today, April 19, 2022.
"RIPTA encourages those who want to continue to wear a mask when on board to continue to do so," said Scott Avedisian, RIPTA's Chief Executive Officer.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continues to recommend that people wear masks on public transit.

Rachel Riley on antisemitism
Rachel Riley, co-host of Countdown, has recently emerged as an eloquent and determined voice against antisemitism on the left. Although today's papers are full of her spat with George Galloway – she got an awful lot of likes for that tweet – of more interest is her long interview with Channel 4's Krishnan Guru-Murthy.
Riley spoke very compellingly about how she gradually became aware of antisemitism having previously had little direct experience of the problem and not been politically active.
It was the 'Enough is Enough' demonstration which first made her take notice of the crisis in the Labour Party – initially she hesitated to get involved (2:00) but eventually got pulled in to the debates on Twitter.
She discussed very thoughtfully why the 'Israel is a racist endeavour' posters unsettled her (around 5:00), and went on to her explain her opposition to anti-Zionism as a response to the complexities of the current situation, as well as robustly defend her right to take a stand against antisemitism without being drawn into arguments about Israel (12:00) She was also very forthright and precise on just why there is a problem with Jeremy Corbyn (from 19:30) and (from 23:00) on the insidious nature of antisemitic tropes.
One detail from this interview has been singled out for unfair criticism. Early in the interview she responded to a question about her Jewish identity. During her response to Guru-Murthy's observation that many people didn't know she was Jewish, Riley observed 'I don't look like a typical Jew'. (6:55) On the page, that might look careless or naïve. However if you watch the interview it is clear that she put virtual 'scare quotes' around this statement – and if she had said 'stereotypical' that might better have captured the thrust and tone of her point in its context.
Michael Rosen was quick to interpret this brief aside in the most unsympathetic – and indeed perverse – way.
Here's a sample of just a few of the well-earned rebukes which came his way.
And finally here's Daniel Sugarman's own very helpful analysis of the 'typical Jew' controversy and some broader reflections on the attacks on Rachel Riley.

Our primary means of client communication had just gone out. Our phone systems were down, again, and we were relying on email as the mechanism for clients to contact us.
At West Monroe Partners, a high-touch managed services provider (MSP) and AWS Partner Network (APN) Standard Consulting Partner, our help desk is not only the frontline support for clients, but often the only IT staff available to the organizations we work with.
Users expect to be able to pick up the phone and get their issues resolved quickly. Unfortunately, the phone system going down was not an uncommon occurrence for us. Over the prior six months, we had experienced multiple short outages and other issues.
We were able to manage through those issues and rebuild relationships with clients, but each problem caused increased churn and took its toll on our service desk.
While investigating potential alternatives to our current help desk telecom provider, we learned about Amazon Connect. Some quick math suggested a significant cost savings that, paired with the prospect of increased stability afforded by cloud platforms, got us approval to run a proof of concept (POC).
Setting up Amazon Connect was straightforward and simple. To start, we used one of our available phone numbers. If this went well, we knew we would eventually need to port close to 100 of our existing client contact numbers. For this POC, however, just the one number would suffice.
With the Amazon Connect Administrator Guide in hand, we launched Amazon Connect and began recreating the existing workflows we used to route calls through our desk.
The interface was easy to configure. Using the live phone number rapidly provisioned through Amazon's telephony services, we were able to test workflows quickly and easily. It was a stark contrast to the hoops we needed to jump through to change anything in our legacy system. Amazon Connect's flexibility was a big reason why we became proficient so quickly.
Drag-and-drop workflow interfaces, easy to modify (and business-ready) templates, and default routing profiles made it simple to get to parity with our current service desk routing structure. Actually, we were ahead of parity thanks to the enhanced routing features baked into Amazon Connect.
A big Amazon Connect feature for us is the dynamic queue check functionality that verifies whether queues are staffed, and agents available, when determining client queue behavior. This allowed us to adjust "smart" routing on a sub-unit and per-client basis across teams, resulting in dynamic assignment to the best alternative agent at any given time.
This added another layer of skills-based routing flexibility that aligned well with our team structure and multi-client managed services environment.
Another key feature is utilizing out-of-the-box Amazon Connect Agent hierarchy functionality to provide more focused reporting to our service delivery teams. As an MSP, our service desk leverages agent groupings based on escalation tiers, functional technology areas, and client focus.
With the same agent often spanning multiple groups, management and reporting can be challenging. With logical groupings created through the Agent hierarchy, and those groupings enable accurate, effective, and timely reporting across different sub-groupings.
Additionally, there are agent role-based rules that allow for operational delegation of team lead/supervisor activities. With our teams broken out the way they are, it's important to us that Amazon Connect allows for custom security profile creation and role-based access control. These don't just affect specific modules or functions, but actions as well.
The Amazon Connect approach to creating and defining custom security profiles has enabled us to delegate management actions safely and effectively.
All told to this point, we had logged just under eight hours with Amazon Connect, or about a days' worth of work. At the end of those eight hours, we had a fully functional prototype to demonstrate for our team. To be clear, our routing was straightforward, and other environments may take more time and effort to establish. Still, to have a working prototype in eight hours was a huge win for us.
With such a rapid spin-up, we were able to start experimenting in Amazon Connect right away. We created emergency contact flows to shift interactive voice response (IVR) interactions based on major incident scenarios on a per-client basis.
The ability to quickly switch active contact flow alignment per phone number is crucial for an MSP, and this functionality has been used to load balance volume during security incidents and outage scenarios.
From the start, we were impressed with Amazon Connect's interface and ease of implementation. With our prototype in place, we trained two of our supervisors on how to manage the system. Within 30 minutes of training, we had three people who could administer our phone system. For the previous three years, it was just one of us. More boxes checked thanks to Amazon Connect—ease of administration and risk reduction.
We ultimately sold the POC on the potential cost savings, and while our single call metrics showed significant savings, we needed a larger scale test to validate our assumptions.
With executive approval, we ran all help desk calls for West Monroe, about 1,000 employees, through Amazon Connect. With the higher call volumes, we learned some lessons and made updates to improve our service. This was easy to do given the simple interface, and system updates were transparent to the inbound callers.
After hundreds of inbound interactions through the POC, we were confident our cost savings would be north of 75 percent. We received approval to port the existing number for West Monroe over to Amazon Connect, and additional approval to set up any new clients in the system. The port of phone numbers took a few weeks due to the time needed to switch numbers between providers.
As we got closer to porting all of our clients, excitement for the change to Amazon Connect accelerated within our team. One of the help desk supervisors was a part-time musician and offered to create new hold music. Another help desk team member recreated all of our voice recordings.
The supervisors also made slight adjustments to queue management, and the team saw the effects immediately, further building momentum for the system.
In the six months since we began looking at Amazon Connect, our team is now fully transitioned to the new system. After a flawless migration with no impact to end users, our clients now run through Amazon Connect and we have deprecated the legacy system.
We are currently saving more than 85 percent from our previous telecom spend. We've set up separate development, test, and production instances of Amazon Connect and are starting to extend the system.
As our ITSM, we use ServiceNow—a fellow APN Partner—and we are building an integration with Amazon Connect to allow for screen pops within ServiceNow.
AWS service integrations are intuitive as well. One of our developers created a custom softphone application that leverages the Amazon CloudFront content delivery network and Connect Streams API. These transform the Connect CCP into a completely bespoke and customizable implementation that will pull in additional backend call and real-time performance data and display it to agents.
At West Monroe Partners, we're confident that Amazon Connect will scale with us as our organization grows. Amazon Connect's integration with other AWS services, the responsiveness of AWS Support, and the continued development of new services and integrations by AWS will enable us to evolve with the market.
Moreover, the significant cost savings we're seeing with Amazon Connect allows us to invest in the system to improve interactions for our clients. If you're interested in learning more about our Amazon Connect journey, we'd be happy to discuss our implementation with you!
