The research is clear – the customer experience is essential to the success of any business and is a key differentiator for earning a consumer’s business.

Customer experience (CX) is the sum of all interactions a customer has with an organization, whether that be when they use the product or service, when they email the help desk for support, or when they come across the company on social media. Contact centers and their agents are uniquely positioned to influence the customer experience, as they interact with customers one-on-one.

As contact centers increasingly shift from on-premise to remote operations, it’s critical that enterprises adopt the following principles to ensure they deliver great customer experiences when their agents and teams are distributed.

Are walls truly falling in the contact center space?

Posted by Rachel Brink on Jul 22, 2016 10:59:40 AM

As the technology used to power contact centers has become more advanced, organizations around the globe are beginning to form a less rigid definition of “center”, enabling a large percentage of their agents to work remotely, or “work from home”. They are also increasingly relying on multiple sites for their customer engagement initiatives. In fact, just a short twelve months back, 53% of respondents managed customer engagements through one or zero contact center, a number that has since fallen to 51%, and is predicted to shrink to 39% in twelve months. Interestingly enough, the number of contact centers with more than five locations is steadily decreasing—while 16% had more than five locations twelve months ago, only 14% do I the present, and only 13% will in twelve months. The sweet spot appears to be in the 2-5 range.
