To achieve that, our team of IT experts attends weekly training sessions. Our Tech Talks blog series offers a snapshot of these educational sessions.

A large electronics retailer wanted to add customer engagement functionality to Microsoft Teams. The company’s employees already utilized Teams for internal collaboration, so it made sense to expand the functionality of the app to deliver better customer experiences (CX). Additionally, the retailer’s traditional phone system didn’t have the features necessary to support the organization’s customer service goals.

The company deployed a contact center solution in our portfolio that integrates seamlessly with Teams, providing native customer engagement capabilities. Contact center agents can now serve customers via voice, SMS, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger without leaving Teams. Additionally, Microsoft Azure Open AI services support self-service options to further enhance CX. These capabilities have increased the rate of first-contact issue resolution and improved customer satisfaction.

If your business already relies on Microsoft 365 and Teams, you might want to consider implementing this contact center solution for convenient customer service capabilities.
