• Traditional Quality programs only cover <1% of
calls
• Digital channels and bot usage is up, but most
companies don’t monitor these interactions at all
• Supervisors have also lost the visibility that
came from being able to ‘walk the floor’
• Changing regulatory environments have made it
increasingly harder to check compliance of
humans and bots across voice and digital
channels
