For contact centres of all sizes, human agents are the most valuable resource; they need to be allowed to focus on creating value and solving complex problems. Stripping away low-value activities from the agent is key to preventing bloated interaction times and unnecessary transfers for customers. This way, customer experience can be revolutionised as an impact of boosted operational efficiency.
