What unique challenges do you face when implementing contact centre AI solutions across different international markets?
- Moving from legacy systems, organisation structures and habits:
- There is often a reluctance to change / move to the Cloud as IT departments see it as a risk to their job and reason to be when they could be embracing it to re-skill
- Underthinking Agent and User Experience
- Tendency to migrate as-is rather than take advantage of new features to re-think the call flow and user eXperience
What upcoming developments in AI are you most excited about, and how do you plan to incorporate them into your work?
- Generative AI allowing much richer user dialogs
- Moving away from directed dialogs to truly conversational dialogs
- AI in Security and Biometrics for more seamless verification and reducing fraud
- Using audio from IVR or agent interaction to conduct ID&V in parallel rather than sequentially
- Thwart new hack approaches using new-gen synthetic speech
Looking ahead, what are the next big trends in contact centre AI that businesses should be preparing for now?
- Users being used to and expecting AI applications
- Legacy systems will feel obsolete
- Cloud and omnichannel
- No more need to constantly update systems and applications
- Truly seamless user navigation across channels
