Artificial intelligence (AI) has been changing the contact centre landscape for several years, with many organisations recognising its potential to improve customer service. Despite the growing enthusiasm, some companies are hesitant to adopt AI due to the high costs associated with advanced models. However, the contact centre industry appears poised to buck this trend. It is an exciting time to see the impact of AI in contact centres across the world.

They can build or break your organisational reputation with customers, co-delivering the experience your customers remember and talk about. Traditionally, the success of these centres has been measured through key performance indicators (KPIs) such as Average Handling Time (AHT), Net Promoter Score (NPS), Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) and First Contact Resolution (FCR)
