Traditional contact centres as we know them were designed and deployed at scale in the 1960s, largely based on outdated management and governance models with standards that are no longer applicable.
Today’s modern customers expect to communicate the way they find most convenient to them, including phone, web, mobile, text, and social. They demand higher levels of personalisation, immediacy, and convenience. But on-premises technologies are by design not unified, omnichannel, or real-time, and as a result fall short in an always-on, hyperconnected world.
A recent report from Brian Solis commissioned by RingCentral, Contact Centre 2.0: The Rise of Collaborative Contact Centres industry report, demonstrates the need for digital transformation of the established contact centre model to a truly customer-centric, modern approach.
Based on a survey of 500 knowledge workers in the US and UK, the findings outline the decline of traditional contact centres operating on-premises technologies, work siloes, and limited and dated customer channels. Instead, new cloud models enhance collaboration among experts and contact centre agents, providing first contact resolution to today’s modern customer. Companies are adopting cloud-first contact centres strategies in order to be more competitive in the market.
Meeting the needs of today’s customer is more critical than ever for companies. It’s not just about delivering exceptional experiences in order to establish a competitive advantage; it’s about providing exceptional experiences to the modern customer in order to meet evolving standards of service excellence. The technology is here today with the cloud, and it is creating unprecedented opportunities for experience innovation.
