First …
We’re not going
to talk about cloud.
Well … maybe a little bit.
It’s a deployment option, not a trend impacting the quality of customer communications.

7. © Enghouse Systems Ltd 2011
So what are we going to talk about?
The Top 5 Trends
1. Changes in customer interaction methods – the move to omni-channel and customer collaboration
2. The evolution of self-service – knowledge management, the Internet of Things, and beyond
3. Dramatic increase in mobility – the impact on customer communications
4. The “enterprise as contact centre” – collaboration, back office service and the blurring of contact
centre boundaries
5. The evolution of contact centre metrics – making it about quality and customer value
A Real-World Scenario
The Enghouse Approach

8. © Enghouse Systems Ltd 2011
What is Omni-Channel Communication?
Removing channel boundaries from customer communications
– Allowing “media escalation” – one form of communication can
evolve into others
– IM  Call; Call  Video; Data Sharing and Collaboration
Guaranteeing a seamless cross-channel customer experience
– Ensuring context and data is made available cross-channel
– Monitoring, managing and tracking the unified experience
Trend 1:
Omni-Channel & Collaborative Communication

“The Global Unified Communication market is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of
14.08 percent over the period 2014-2019.”
- Technavio, November 2014
“UCC will become a ‘standard communication infrastructure,’ with a market set to
hit nearly $62 billion by 2018, driven by more than 15% annual growth.”
-Forrester, 2014
Omni-Channel Driven by Unified Communications
Key Drivers:
 Enterprises have a need to cut costs while maintaining or improving telecommunications
 Millennials entering the marketplace have a much greater demand for UC tools
 Evolution of satellite, wireless and terrestrial transmission system arenas is boosting growth

30. Tying It Together
Overall Interaction Workflow

31. Contact centre Agent Mark logs in at the beginning of the day…

32. Mark is immediately productive, handling interactions of all types:
SMS texts, social media, email, and so on. He can multi-task,
handling multiple customer requests at the same time.
I I
III II

33. While responding to non-live interactions, a high-priority callback
comes into queue. (A customer had been using the company’s
mobile app and needed live help.)

34. CRM
History
KB
Articles
It’s from Laura, routed to Mark because he handled her last call.
Mark sees Laura’s CRM record, interaction history, and the top knowledge
base articles that match the products that Laura has purchased.

35. The speech analytics application coaches Mark throughout the call, ensuring
he stays on script and detecting any issues. Is Mark talking over her? Is he
speaking too fast? Is he speaking too loudly? Is Laura getting upset?

36. Mark needs help with Laura’s issue, so he flags his supervisor,
Anna, who sees the alert on her tablet and monitors Mark’s call –
she can IM or help him with the call.

37. I I
III
II
With Laura’s issue handled, Mark gets back to those other
communications. He is continuously productive.

38. Laura is satisfied, and Anna has a recording of the session that she
can evaluate and use for coaching staff in the future.
