Evolving Contact Centres into

Interactive Digital Communications Hubs

Matt Hooper – SVP

Where is the battle for Frictionless Customer Experience

Everything used to be about Inbound

Then Outbound gained ground

Now everything is moving to the cloud and going digital

New channels and models are everywhere, but how do you get them working together?

Apple Business Chat WhatsApp RCS Chatbots

Chatbots are great if used in the right way

▪ Improve customer experience over messaging channels

▪ Proactively reach out to customers to automate engagement

▪ Self Service – simple tasks / knowledge base

▪ Manage Contact Centre costs

- Augment agents and reduce inbound

- Extend capacity at peak or out of hours

- Cross Language engagement

▪ Risk – First point of contact / represents your brand

Consumers increasingly communicate, share and manage

their lives over digital channels

Customers now expect businesses to deliver the same frictionless

customer experience they get from the digital first pioneers

This should no longer be acceptable

How to test you’ve got the foundations right

23

1. Are all your digital

channels one to one and

two-way?

Do your new and existing

channels integrate and

work together?

24

2. Orchestrate the inbound

and proactive outbound

communications mix with the

contact centre at the heart

of the operation

25

3. Assure channel agnostic

consistency to future proof

your contact centre

26

4. Chatbots are great, but you

need to think about how to

augment them to work with the

Contact Centre

27

5. Make sure your business is

clear on what Omnichannel

means and how it will benefit

your customers
