TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIP

Luke Kodanko

Information Technology Consultant at XKDC Solutions Aurora, Colorado

Summary

I am a proven professional with over a decade of experience supporting contact center experiences. In addition to a wide breadth of technologies I have been able to design, implement, and support over the years I have significant leadership experience. Notable roles include being the Technical Services Manager running a team of Professional Services Engineers providing Call Recording and Analytics services to hundreds of customers. More recently, I worked at a large financial institution specifically aligned to fraud analytics, but with significant responsibilities in sizing and design for the entire work force optimization footprint. Currently I am the Systems Architect responsible for NICE call recording at AAA Mid- Atlantic.

Systems Architect - NICE

April 2018 - Present

Served as Systems Architect in designing the replacement of NIM 4.1 system moving to NICE Engage 6.10. Including RTI (for PCI compliance), Tagging, Feedback, Playback Portal, and Nexidia Analytics integration. Performed cleanup effort to identify over one thousand named licenses that were no longer needed, this represented not only an immediate savings on this licensing but also eliminated the need for funding two future projects that were to alleviate the over licensing problem. The order of magnitude estimated savings were in excess of $1 Million.

Served as SME (Subject Matter Expert) in ushering the project to completion. Performed system audit to identify areas for potential improvement. Developed documentation and processes to accomplish these improvements. Including consulting with and training IT staff as well as business users on best practices.
