What Are Intelligent Contact Centers?

In an era of digital transformation, yesterday's communication methods—such as traditional voice response systems—can't keep up with the needs of the digital enterprise or the rising customer demand for personalized, consistent journeys.

Contact centers are evolving into AI-enhanced intelligent contact centers (ICCs) to enable faster interactions, deeper insights, and seamless experiences for both customers and customer service teams. As the primary interface between a business and its customers or prospects, providing a positive contact center experience is critical to ensuring customer satisfaction, acquisition, and retention.

We advise our clients on how to get started with an intelligent contact center by focusing on specific priorities and business outcomes.

AI chatbots (or what we refer to as conversational AI), embedded with natural language processing (NLP) technologies, are increasingly becoming the first touchpoint a customer has with a business. Additionally, machine learning, sentiment analysis, and content analytics can provide deeper insights into customer experiences. Read this report to learn how AI will transform contact centers.
