Automated and Unified CCaaS: Transforming Contact Centers with AI

The digital space has been teeming with a plethora of technological solutions powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and automation to analytics and big data. However, one aspect that digital providers still struggle with is providing a comprehensive solution for unified customer experiences. 

It cannot be denied that contact centers have come a long way from their traditional setups, but organizations often fail to utilize them as a CX and revenue enabler. What businesses need is to leverage state-of-the-art technology and fuse it with contact center processes so that they can achieve one common goal – providing exceptional customer experiences. 

Industry leaders, Greg Weber – Chief Technology Officer, Navixus, Rob Rutledge – Business Unit Lead, Navixus, and Bharath Vasudevan – Chief Capability Officer, Tech Mahindra BPS, share their perspectives around the leading CX challenges and how Navixus is helping contact center transform in this edition of the Tech Talk. 

Contact Center Challenges Affect All Parties

With technological advancements over the years, industries and organizations have evolved. However, challenges pertaining to CX still remain the same, which include long call handling times, call drops, frequent transfers, poor issue resolution, lack of self-service facility. Seamless customer experiences should have become a norm today, but this gap is still glaring. 

Inefficient contact centers impact agents equally with commonly observed challenges like lack of standardization, heavy call volumes, poor call deflection, incorrect call segmentation, poor knowledge management, and more. What’s interesting to note here is that so many of these challenges are interconnected. When organizations fail to notice how tightly-knit or interdependent everything is, the benefits of introducing new solutions remain confined to a functional area, not proving effective in the long run. Looking at the on-premises nature of contact centers, it can be said that one aspect impacts everything else right from cost to tech deployment to integration, scalability, and overall support services. 

Introducing Navixus – Your Holistic CCaaS Solution

If organizations are confined to a physical infrastructure, they cannot orchestrate CX efficiently irrespective of the technology deployed. This is where contact center as a service or CCaaS comes into play. CCaaS is a modern service delivery model allowing businesses to harness CX technology effectively and build contact centers that can be scaled up quickly and accessed from anywhere and anytime, accommodating increased volumes in an easier and more cost-effective way.
