In these days of striving for excellent CX, it's important to use every tool available. The best cloud ACDs can help contact centers improve experiences and avoid service failures through sophisticated routing, smart self-service, and providing agents and supervisors with enhanced capabilities. Additionally, modern ACDs provide contact center leaders with real-time information for better decision-making and empower them to make quick, effective configuration changes.

If you have great tools but can’t use them effectively, it’s like having a Lamborghini parked in a school zone – regardless of the luxury car’s top speed, you’re not going to get anywhere fast.

Effective contact centers are the most adaptable of organizations, as they must frequently respond to changes of all kinds quickly and seamlessly. The past year and a half has not been different in that regard, with the massive shift to a more remote workplace. The current situation has, however, changed the way we look at agent coaching, with new challenges surrounding immediacy and visibility.

As the cloud transformed how companies operate and how consumer prefer (and expect) to interact with the brands they do business with, IT found itself in a new role: that of delivering simplicity everywhere, with solutions that are easy to deploy, maintain and upgrade.

The rapid shift to remote working due to COVID-19 meant contact center operations needed to deploy solutions to let them seamlessly manage a remote workforce without losing efficiencies or negatively impacting customer experience (CX).
