To serve as technology consultants to our clients, we need to stay up to speed with the latest IT trends and solutions. To achieve that, our team of IT experts attends weekly training sessions conducted by various IT solution providers. Based on our extensive experience and sales volume with the suppliers, we receive exclusive, direct and usually in-person training from these suppliers. Our Tech Talks blog series offers a snapshot of these educational sessions.
A midsize treasury solutions firm that serves financial institutions in the U.S. wanted to modernize communications. The company’s on-premises phone system had become time-consuming and challenging to manage: Each call center location necessitated manual configuration, and setting up custom workflows and routing was anything but easy. The firm wanted greater control as well as more data and actionable insights to improve CSAT and NPS scores.
They turned to one of our partners for an AI-powered cloud phone system and contact center, sales, and meeting software – which they initially rolled out to 60 staff members and eventually implemented for their entire 120+-person team. With AI features like real-time agent assistance, live voice transcriptions, and sentiment analysis, the firm’s CSAT went from 75 percent to 94 percent in 4 months.
If you want to improve your contact center performance, you should consider working with the same software supplier. During a recent meeting with our technology consultants, the provider’s sales team demoed newly introduced AI features and discussed how those functionalities enhance agent and customer experiences. Here’s what you should know about the supplier’s background and product portfolio to make well-informed purchasing decisions for your business.
