Most contact centers have moved to the cloud or are in the process of moving to the cloud. It is done mainly for its flexibility and scalability in managing customer interactions.
The cloud creates a level playing field for contact centers of all sizes, enabling them to elevate the customer experience.
Let us take a moment to define the attributes of a full-blown cloud contact center.
• You'll be able to administer your contact center platform as if you were on-premise
• Support true multi-tenancy – sharing data and storage
• Built as-a-service technology, allowing you to administer easily, tenantize, and segment data
• You don't manage or maintain any hardware servers at the data center
• You don't need to sign a massive contract with the vendor for the number of seats or contract duration
How do cloud contact centers enhance customer experience?
I have covered some specific ways by which it can enhance customer experience.
Improved accessibility
All you need to use a cloud contact center is a functioning browser and an active Internet connection. Agents can log in from any device, anytime, and anywhere.
Additionally, cloud contact centers seamlessly integrate multiple communication channels, such as phone, chat, email, websites, bots, and mobile apps, into a single platform.
They also support integration with leading IT solutions like CRM, ERP, and helpdesk software, ensuring a streamlined workflow. This allows you to access all customer interaction points from your contact center interface.
With all this, customers can reach out to you through their preferred channels. Also, your agents would be able to provide the best possible customer experience because they have access to a single view of the customers as all customer interaction interfaces are integrated.
Personalize the experience
With cloud technology and a unified customer view, you can seamlessly access every customer interaction across all interfaces and channels. This provides you with funds of information on the customers.
This would allow you to personalize the experiences and improve the experience and conversion.
For instance, let us assume that your customer has looked at your Airline branded credit card offering on his mobile application. Now, he visits your website, and you have this information.
You can personalize your customer's experience by displaying the airline-branded credit card and its advantages. Also, you can provide an easy call-to-action for the customer to take the next steps.
I am assuming that the customer does not respond positively. You can further personalize it the next time the customer visits. How about giving the customer an offer – all annual fees waived for the customer alone for a specific period?
This increases the likelihood of converting this customer.
Low entry barrier
You can have an enterprise-class contact center platform with the cloud at a per-minute pricing.
Get all the channels you need, seamlessly integrate with your systems, and enjoy a unified view of your customers—all at subscription-based pricing. .
This makes it easy for any organization in the business of providing customer experience to enhance it.
Scale up and down quickly
You can scale up and down the number of agents per your business needs. This can be done at the click of a button.
How about scaling up and down the functionality?
For instance, if you want to add the functionality of voice analytics for a particular process, you can add it just for that process. Likewise, you can add or remove functionality like business intelligence, call recording, screen recording, etc.
Faster implementation time
Typically with on-premise solutions, the fastest ones can implement your contact center platform in anywhere from 45 to 180 days.
With a cloud contact center, you can get your platform up and running within 48 hours. This is what happened when the pandemic struck – many transitioned to working from home within 48 hours by leveraging cloud contact centers.
