3 INTRODUCTION Contact Centres continue to evolve. We have seen the evolution from call centre to contact centre, and now contact centres are under pressure to keep pace with how their customers want to engage and collaborate with them. Tomorrow s contact centre will be able to deal with interactions over any medium, not in silos but as a connected journey. It will smartly balance and blend self-service with live interactions and differentiate service through innovation such as video agents and smartphone app connectivity. Agents will be empowered with intuitive tools that not only make them more efficient, but more effective. The business will learn through listening to customers and gaining insight from holistic reporting and analytics. An organisation s contact centre technology needs to seamlessly unify all channels of communication with the customer in a single virtual architecture that supports any agent in any location and have the ability to be deployed as a cloud, premise-based or hybrid solution. Tomorrow s contact centre technology will be quicker to install, easier to manage and cheaper to run. Tomorrow s contact centre is being delivered today by Touchbase and Cisco.

4 TRENDS Contact centres are under enormous pressure to offer new and innovative interaction channels to their customers while continually improving the customer experience and controlling costs. Customer Expectations 74% of UK adults state they would change supplier based on a poor contact centre experience. It is therefore essential that contact centres are able to deliver against the ever increasing expectations that customers place on them. It s No Longer Just About The Phone smartphone penetration is now estimated at over 70%; this means that customers can browse, , tweet and of course, phone whenever they want and wherever they are. Enabling The Connected Journey contact centres are not just under pressure to support new channels of interaction, but to provide a consistent and connected journey for the customer across these channels. Focus On Agility given the highly dynamic nature of the contact centre, agility is key. Contact centres need the ability to quickly respond to changing demands, to scale up and scale down and to quickly deploy new channels and applications to support both the business and its customers. Breaking Down The Silos the contact centre is no longer an adjunct to the organisation, but an integral and vital part of it. As such, the technology used has to be aligned with the broader corporate infrastructure and support cloud, premise or hybrid deployment strategies.
