Why Small Businesses Should Invest in a Modern Contact Center
Watch the replay.
Small businesses have had to make do with tools that are less advanced than those used by their larger peers primarily due to issues of cost and complexity. But just making do isn’t a recipe for providing great customer experiences and fostering customer loyalty. Today’s SMB organizations must look to the cloud to provision most (if not all) of the tools they use to manage customer experiences, especially when it comes to contact centers.
Customer preferences are changing and a modern cloud contact center is the only way to deliver the experiences they want. What if you could punch above your weight and out compete by providing AI-powered self-service, call handling and analytics, seamlessly integrated voice and digital channels and an easy to integrate, plug-and-play platform that grows with your business?
In this 60-minute webinar, Ventana Research’s Keith Dawson will talk with NICE inContact’s Mark Ungerman, director of product and segment marketing about what is accelerating market changes, and what risks small businesses face if they can’t move quickly to adapt.
The key points will include:
- What constitutes a “modern” platform and what alternative tools provide access to the right combination of features.
- How a modern contact center can provide smaller firms a competitive advantage by helping them appear as customer-friendly as their larger peers.
- What is different about the numerous modernization options available in a confusing marketplace.
- How today’s cloud-based infrastructure delivers a positive impact to customer experiences.
