UNLOCKING CUSTOMER AND EMPLOYEE VALUE

Leverage the power of Digital First

ENHANCING BUSINESS BENEFITS & REDUCING REPETITIVE TASKS FOR ADVISORS

An effective automation and AI solution can transform your business

From small implementations to futuristic AI-powered dashboards that supercharge your advisor’s ability to help, the costs associated with AI and automation projects are decreasing all the time. Today, the benefits of AI and Automation are now accessible to companies of all sizes.

CHANGE IS AFFECTING YOUR PEOPLE

It's time to take a data-led approach with science-based insights to improve advisor wellbeing

It’s no secret that today’s contact centre advisors are under immense pressure.

In a recent study, 87% reported high or very high stress levels at their contact centres, with burnout occurring quickly through being overwhelmed, emotionally drained and/or unable to meet constant demands.

DATA SHOULD BE AT THE HEART OF CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE

It's vital that CX teams collect the right customer data and use it correctly.

Todays’ CX teams can’t afford to remain isolated in their separate contact centre, service desk or CRM camps. The pressure for brands to differentiate via their customer experience now makes any CX technology decisions taken more important than ever.

Public cloud, Private cloud or Hybrid?

Cloud transformation has the potential to bring about rapid change, a deeper understanding of your customers, and better working practices for your agents.

Recent news articles are telling us that the world of voice assistants is struggling, with the latest industry murmurings involving Amazon’s Alexa and it being described as a “colossal failure” rumoured to be losing $10 billion a year.

Over the last few weeks, you would have heard lots of noise about ChatGPT, the new model for conversational AI that was launched by OpenAI – the AI research and deployment company – at the end of November.

With challenges in recruitment and stubborn levels of attrition impacting almost all organizations in the contact centre sector, it’s hardly surprising that wellbeing remains firmly in the spotlight. However, if we’re serious about creating lasting and effective wellbeing strategies, then it’s important that – as an industry – we start to be much more precise when addressing the topic.
