Customer experience is the benchmark when choosing between brands. It’s no longer about isolated interactions, but rather an end to end journey in which there are multiple interactions. Customer experience matters to consumers, with 56% saying convenience is more important than price. They want better, more personalised and more complete experiences that surprise and delight them. To meet customers’ expectations you need to be ready for every eventuality.

Today, consumers want to communicate with brands like yours through a whole range of digital channels. Can your on-premise contact centre provide the ‘always-on’, personal service they’re increasingly expecting?

Will your data be safe and accessible? And will it integrate with your legacy systems? Cloud-based solutions can help. You can be flexible, test and try, go to market at speed and adapt as needed. But there are key considerations when planning a move to the cloud.  

Hear from our experienced team about what to do, and just as importantly what not to do… so that your migration is simple, cost-effective and delivers what you set out to achieve. We can help you navigate through the maze of cloud-based options whether public, private or hybrid.

Having your head in the cloud may be a good thing

Today’s new normal will have a significant impact on the adoption of AI within contact centres. Gartner even predicts 69% of routine work currently done by Managers will be fully automated by 2024.

Whilst it’s recognised that AI powered agents can augment the conversation and help you reduce costs, how do you deploy and integrate an AI assistant that your customers and employees will actually want to use? Find out how AI is revamping the contact centre and helping redefine customer experience.

The great agent and supervisor skills shift in the virtual contact centre

Last year, we looked at five trends in customer experience for 2020. Coronavirus has been a huge catalyst for change in the contact centre. But how has the pandemic changed what consumers expect from you and equally, how your agents feel?  Are new expectations and behaviours here to stay?

Our research with Cisco shows that the phone is definitely not dead, but what’s surprising is that a huge 85% of consumers now want to use video chat when things go wrong with self-service.
Join us as we discover the top three trend shifts and what it means for your business.
