How to Easily Integrate Unified Contact Center Solutions with Current Operations
Contact center managers and operating officers face the simultaneous challenge of delivering superior customer service while dealing with legacy systems and bolted-on solutions. These aging and pieced-together solutions are not only inefficient but add complexity to providing excellent customer service, causing frustration and challenges for both customers and employees alike. Learn how implementing a unified contact center solution can solve these issues and boost efficiency.
As your business grows, you need a WFO solution that scales with the needs of the business. Yet, many companies may worry that a fully-integrated, customized, and easy-to-navigate WFO solution that scales to the growth and budget of your company is out of their reach. Unified contact center solutions can help businesses increase productivity while delivering proactive and personalized customer experiences, ultimately improving customer relations. At Authority Software, we provide the expertise to ensure your call center systems integrate seamlessly with your business, supporting the customer success journey.
Why do you need unified contact center solutions?
Unified contact center solutions provide agents with everything they need in a single, integrated desktop when tools and services are combined under one system. These unified solutions help businesses increase productivity, reduce costs, and improve customer satisfaction.
Outdated and Complex Systems Waste Time and Resources
A WFO solution shouldn’t cause frustration and challenges for customer success teams, but when teams have to maneuver through various cobbled together solutions, that’s precisely what happens. The bottom line is that siloed solutions may be negatively impacting your business, wasting time, reducing productivity, and hindering your ability to perform tasks at a satisfactory level. The most common challenges associated with navigating outdated solutions include a lack of flexibility, complexity, reduced productivity, and low customer satisfaction.
Lack of Flexibility: Contact centers need a flexible solution that can increase efficiency; yet, due to outdated and complex solutions, many contact centers cannot easily add new functionality or scale their environment to meet growing business needs.
Complexity: Primarily the result of technology barriers, trying to consolidate data and information from disparate systems is difficult, time-consuming, and may result in information that is incomplete or unreliable.
Reduced Productivity: When outdated systems cause agents to have incomplete or compromised customer data, customers get frustrated, and contact center agents’ productivity is severely limited. Agent productivity is hindered further if they navigate between numerous systems to serve customers. Over time, these seconds and minutes add up to significant reductions in a contact center’s productivity and negatively impact a company’s bottom line.
Low Customer Satisfaction: Customers want personalized experiences. They expect companies to remember their preferences and deliver seamless customer interactions. Unfortunately, siloed systems frequently force customers to repeat information and lead to a slow and frustrating experience, resulting in decreased customer satisfaction.
