Title : The IVR Playbook, Your Guide to Choosing, Designing, Developing, and Delivering an IVR Platform That Ensure a Great Customer Experience Edition :  Year : 2017 Authors : Genesys Publisher : Genesys Preface What is IVR? IVR is the commonly used acronym for Interactive Voice Response  systems. It is a technology that allows a computer to interact with humans through  the use of voice and touch-tone telephone keypad inputs. Who uses IVR systems? Who doesn’t use an IVR system may be more accurate. Everyone and their grandmother have  interacted with an IVR system at one point or another, whether calling their Bank to check account  details or calling a Pharmacy to update a prescription. An IVR allows customers to select the  reason they’re calling through menu driven options so they can be routed to the appropriate agent  or ideally have the option to self serve their own inquiries by following the IVR dialogue and having ...

Digital Engagement in the Contact Center

Image
Title : Digital Engagement in the Contact Center Edition :  Year : 2018 Authors : gameEffective Publisher :  gameEffective Preface Service center work is one of the toughest jobs out there. As self-service and alternative support  channels become increasingly common, customers’ expectations from contact centers have  become much higher. As a result, voice calls have become an escalation channel, making for  challenging work on the agent side.  Changing work culture and employee expectations require cultural adjustment. Employees expect  more feedback, recognition and a sense of belonging. Without them, engagement goes down and  attrition and absenteeism go up. That’s why service centers must re-consider how they think about incentives, performance  management and training. They must engage employees at an emotional level, to drive a sense of  choice and connectedness to work. Digital engagement provides an exciti...

Title : The Must-Have Guide to Accurate Call Center Forecasting Edition :  Year : 2016 Authors :  Maggie Klenke, Chris Rainsforth, Charles Watson Publisher :  injixo Preface An effective forecast for an operations is like  having a healthy heart.

Image
Title : The New Rules of The Inbound Contact Center Edition :  Year :  Authors : West Publisher :  West Preface Things have changed in the contact center.  No longer is customer experience bound by the limitations of legacy  on-premises system capabilities. Instead, new cloud-based solutions  offer a much more flexible and agile approach, resulting in a dramatically  improved customer experience.  These  changes  are good news for  contact  centers, as customers today are more likely to take to the internet  than pick  up the phone in their attempt to communicate with your  business,  even if they are looking to complain. Now contact centers can  be  prepared no matter what the communication channel.  Our ‘new rules’ take account of the new demands of customers and  the availability of this new functionality, providing some guidelines on  what the best contact ce...

Not All Clouds are Created Equal: What's Really Behind the Curtain of a Cloud 2.0 Platform

Title : Not All Clouds are Created Equal: What's Really Behind the Curtain of a Cloud 2.0 Platform Edition : 2017 Year :  Authors : Genesys Publisher :  Genesys Preface Ask just about anyone and they’ll say they’re “in the cloud.” But, as most  technology leaders know, not all clouds are created equal. There are  significant differences between hosting a legacy application in the cloud,  hosting a multi-tier application in the cloud and running a system that can  take full advantage of cloud scaling and resiliency.  The first cloud communications systems emerged about 10 years ago. If you  look at these first-generation cloud companies, they took a legacy technology  stack, put it into their private data centers and called it a cloud.  Cloud 1.0 had some advantages: It could scale with fewer resources than  on-premise systems; it was a little faster; it also gave companies a sense  of redundancy. However, a...

Live Chat Benchmark Report 2018

Title : Live Chat Benchmark Report 2018 Edition : 2018 Year :  Authors : Comm100 Publisher :  CCWDigital Preface Some are looking for the best of both worlds.  Others are hoping to have their cake and eat it  too. For us in the customer contact  community, the aim is to simultaneously do  right by the business and customer.  That ambition is more than a strategic priority.  It speaks to the very essence of why we do  what we do.  It serves as the primary lens  through which we evaluate performance,  contemplate strategies and source  technologies.  Our relentless pursuit of initiatives that are  “good for the customer and good for the  business” explains the eruption of live chat.  Live chat, after all, is one of those rare  endeavors that can satisfy immediate  customer demands and optimize business  results.  It promises customers the opportunity to  conn...

Contact Center Trend to Watch

Image
Title : Contact Center Trend to Watch Edition :  Year :  Authors : ShoreGroup Publisher :  ShoreGroup Preface Contact centers represent an opportunity to build long, lasting customer relationships and  help distinguish yourself from competitors through the quality of your service. As more  and more organizations shift to fully integrated cloud-based solutions, it’s easier to fall  behind the curve if they are not up-to-date on all the latest developments. In the past, most businesses were content to develop a standalone solution to meet every new  technological channel instead of taking a more integrated approach; too much of contact center  management was reactive to the latest trends. These solutions may have checked the newest boxes, but  they rarely added value to the overall customer experience.  Pushed by the increasing pace that these new technical solutions are becoming necessary, organizations  have rec...
