With the rise of social media and globalisation, we as a society have come to expect immediate, instant communication from our loved ones, co-workers, professors etc. This desire extends to the businesses and service providers we engage with. The speed and manner at which issues are resolved with companies we patronise, can quite literally make, or break our impression of them and can mean the difference between one organisation’s profits and another.
Brand reputation is everything. In order to ensure that your clients are getting the best customer experience, Microsoft has announced the launch of a new Digital Contact Centre Platform that offers an all-inclusive yet adaptable solution, carefully curated to yield excellent customer encounters, no matter what point of contact your clients choose.
In simple terms, it is a platform that will equip contact centres with the modern digital tools needed to engage customers across voice, video, and other digital engagement channels. You may already be familiar with some of the Microsoft business application platforms it is powered by; Microsoft Dynamics 365, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Power Platform, as well as one you may not yet know, Nuance.
The platform combines a comprehensive yet flexible solution for contact centres, delivering best-in-class AI that powers self-service experiences, live customer engagements, collaborative agent experiences, business process automation, advanced telephony, and fraud prevention capabilities.
The inclusion of Nuance provides a new level of conversational AI, security, and automation to the contact centre, giving both customers and agents the tools to resolve problems faster and with a more personalised touch, therefore reducing resolution times while improving customer satisfaction. It also gives contact centres the ability to offer targeted incentives to build brand loyalty and upsell opportunities to boost revenue.
Because the platform is so adaptable, companies can build on what they already have and effortlessly augment any fusion of capabilities needed to immensely propel their contact centre forward. The Digital Contact Centre Platform integrates with a range of contact centre infrastructures and customer relationship management (CRM) systems. Companies can do as much or as little as they want and add capabilities in their own time.
