At TTEC Digital, we believe the conversation — where a customer directly engages with your brand — is the most critical moment in the customer journey. In that moment, the experience can deepen a customer relationship, or damage it forever.  That’s why TTEC Digital is singularly obsessed with optimizing customer experience (CX) at the point of conversation. These conversations, and the contact center technologies that support them, are inseparable. We've built content to help viewers apply powerful technology and proven CX strategy together. 

Retail, consumer packaged goods (CPG), and manufacturing brands are facing rising customer expectations, tighter margins, and fragmented service systems. When agents lack context and AI is disconnected from the CRM, service slows, costs rise, and loyalty suffers.

The contact center can no longer operate as a cost center alone. It must drive efficiency, retention, and growth.

Join Microsoft and TTEC Digital for an exclusive webinar on how retail, CPG, and manufacturing organizations are modernizing customer service with AI powered contact center as a service. Learn how Dynamics 365 Contact Center delivers measurable ROI, supports true omnichannel engagement, and embeds Copilot AI directly into the flow of work.

Why watch:
- Understand why 2026 is a tipping point for CCaaS adoption in retail, CPG, and manufacturing
- Learn what differentiates Dynamics 365 Contact Center from Genesys, NICE, and Five9
- Hear real world examples from TTEC Digital customer implementations
- Get a practical roadmap to modernize your contact center without ripping out and replacing your CRM

TTEC Digital's Dreamforce 2U

Thanks to AI and new manipulative techniques, fraud in financial services is growing fast. In fact, one in every 20 verification attempts in 2025 is now fraudulent, according to a recent Veriff study. 

Relying on a single line of defense leaves your contact center exposed. Today’s threats demand a defense-in-depth approach: multiple authentication layers working together to protect every customer or member interaction. 

Hear fraud experts from TTEC Digital, VoxEQ, TransUnion, and IDgo discuss how SmartApps Cloud brings together the best authentication technologies to make layered protection simple. Learn how device verification, voice biometrics, real-time voice analysis, and mobile multi-factor authentication can be orchestrated into one seamless workflow — boosting trust, reducing friction, and keeping you one step ahead of bad actors. 

Key takeaways: 

—Why layered authentication matters: Understand how fraud tactics are evolving and why single-point solutions fall short. 

—How layers reinforce each other: See how device, voice, and account-level checks work together to build trust. 

—Security without friction: Learn how SmartApps Cloud delivers fast, secure, and seamless authentication.

Since generative AI burst onto the scene in 2022, AI chatbots or virtual agents have dominated the headlines — becoming a top investment priority for businesses across the customer experience landscape. While AI chatbots represent one key element of a modern member experience strategy for credit unions, they’re just the beginning when it comes to creating a truly differentiated end-to-end experience with AI. 

In this webinar, our member experience experts explore:

Elevate Your Customer Experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Contact Center

Across industries, customers are encountering new and powerful ways to engage with businesses. And with each positive experience, their expectations evolve for all future interactions.

This “last best experience” phenomenon has big ramifications for every business. Failure to meet these rising expectations can be disastrous for brand reputation, customer retention, and market competitiveness.

Today, the leading customer experiences in financial services are defined by channel-rich, AI-enabled customer experience hubs. These hubs include omnichannel capabilities, automation, self-service tools, data-driven analytics, and more. While the vision for CX is clear, achieving this end state can feel far more complicated. 

At TTEC Digital, we’ve guided hundreds of financial services organizations through four key levels of contact center maturity on their way to achieving their CX and business goals. Watch this webinar on demand to learn our tried-and-true approach to advancing CX maturity. 

Topics we’ll address in this session: 

• Compliance and basic telephony 
• Integrations and channel expansion 
• Self-service, automation, content management, and data-driven decision-making
• Business transformation with AI

Our expertise is focused on voice, AI and natural language automation, CTI, enterprise integration, user experience design, analytics and workforce optimization with a relentless pursuit of customer success.

How to level up your contact center maturity in financial services

The modern customer experience is complicated. In most industries, it takes place across multiple channels and conversations over time. This complexity makes it increasingly difficult to answer key questions, like: 

• Is my customer experience working as it should? 
• Could my customer experience be more efficient? 
• Are there opportunities to reduce friction? 

The frustrating truth is that the answers to these questions are often right there in front of you. Every single customer interaction creates a data point in the larger trends taking place across your organization’s daily customer interactions. 

In this learning session, hosted by TTEC Digital’s resident analytics expert Marcy Riordan, you'll learn how to turn conversation data into critical insights that can power the exceptional experiences your customers are asking for.

Conversation Intelligence 101

In the collections industry, margins can be tight. That’s why it’s no surprise reducing costs and increasing recovery rates are often at the top of the priority list year in and year out.  

Your contact center platform sits at the center of both these issues. Disjointed integration between collections platforms, contact center platforms, and other key functionality represents one of the leading causes of operational inefficiency. Meanwhile, outdated outbound tactics that fail to consider customer preferences for digital channels can further damage your agency’s performance.  

We’ve put together an expert team of panelists from TTEC Digital, Genesys and Latitude to explore a proven approach to balancing cost and performance that’s as easy as 1-2-3:  

• Selecting the right channel capabilities at the lowest per-minute usage rate 
• Consolidating disparate solutions into a single cost-efficient contact center platform  
• Integrating AI-enabled tools to drive performance without increasing overhead 

Ready to get out of the strategy and dive into the TCO math? 

As a part of this session, you’ll also explore how each of these factors can help drive total cost of ownership by walking through a series of helpful TCO exercises.

Collections leaders — your current contact center platform is losing you money

According to a recent Gartner consumer trends survey, a clear majority (70% of respondents) now prefer self-service channels like chat over voice channels. 

Yet, in reality, many chat experiences routinely fall short of customer expectations. They’re limited. They’re incomplete. And, in many cases, they eventually funnel you to voice channels anyway. 

In the latest episode of our Unlocking Vertex AI podcast series, TTEC Digital’s Director of AI Solutions Aaron Schroeder joins Executive Director of Voice and AI Bot Professional Services Mark Eichten, as they dive into the world of personalized chat experiences. In a wide-ranging conversation, Mark and Aaron cover the essentials for crafting tailored chat interactions that serve customers an end-to-end elevated experience. 

The discussion covers: 

• The impact of personalization on customer satisfaction and loyalty 
• How Vertex AI can help drive understanding of customer intent and preferences
• Where to deploy AI chatbots that deliver dynamic, relevant conversations 
• Real-world examples of successful chatbot deployments 

Whether you’re just starting your AI journey or looking to enhance existing chat strategies, this episode will provide the guidance you need to take the next step with Vertex AI.
