Self-Service Maturity Model: Gaining a Competitive Advantage from Self-Service

Inference Solutions | 8/27/2020 12:38:58 PM

Written By: DMG Consulting LLC <BR><BR>
Voice self-service has changed dramatically since voice response units (VRUs) first came on the scene in the early 1980’s. The self-service market has grown and expanded during the past 40 years, and it’s time for organizations to adopt the current generation of solutions as an important step in their digital transformation. The goal today is to provide a personalized and intelligent self-service experience cost effectively. It’s also important to deliver a consistent and high level of customer service regardless of the channel in which customers elect to interact. The most sophisticated self-service is provided by a relatively new IT sector called intelligent virtual agents (IVAs). IVAs use a natural language conversational approach, enhanced by machine learning and intelligent augmentation (IA), to deliver a personalized customer experience in any channel (voice, web, chat, instant messaging (IM)/short message service (SMS), email, etc.). The question is not whether you are ready to migrate from your existing self-service solutions to IVA-supported voice and digital self-service, but how quickly you can effectively adopt the new generation of AI-enabled self-service technology. Read this white paper to see where your organization currently stands in its self-service maturity evolution and the steps needed to make the transition to IVA successful.

A quarter expect to have virtual chatbot technologies deployed by 2020.

Buyers Guide to Intelligent Virtual Agents and Chatbots

Inference Solutions | 8/27/2020 12:33:28 PM

Major advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Speech Recognition and Natural Language Processing have given organizations that need to automate self-service a giant leap forward. For the first time ever, companies of all sizes can now use Virtual Agents to reduce costs and improve the customer experience. Unfortunately, these advancements have also led to some confusion in the market. The terminology surrounding Virtual Agents can be confusing and it’s often challenging for an organization to understand exactly what can be accomplished today. Buyers also need a framework to help them decide which functionality should be implemented in order to meet their most pressing business needs.

RingCentral 2020 | 6/2/2020 12:29:05 PM

Learn why some call centers can feel downright destructive, and how your business can replace that toxicity with positivity — and success.


No matter who you talk to, everyone agrees: a toxic call center is hurtful to customers, employees, and your bottom line. When customers call in, they’re hoping to connect with an actively engaged team that’s ready, willing, and capable of providing the service they expect.

The reality is that not every call center is set up for success — and some struggle to escape a toxic call center environment. If your call center is one of the good ones, high five! If you believe yours is just okay and could be better, we’ll help you get there.

The Total Economic Impact™ Of RingCentral Contact Center

RingCentral 2020 | 6/2/2020 12:27:26 PM

Cost Savings And Business Benefits Enabled By RingCentral Contact Center



To better understand the benefits, costs, and risks associated with this investment, Forrester interviewed four customers of RingCentral Contact Center. To reflect the impact that RingCentral Contact Center could have on an organization, Forrester has developed a composite organization detailed further below that is based on benefit and cost data gathered from the interviews. The composite is representative of the organizations Forrester interviewed and is used to present the aggregate financial analysis in this study. The magnitude of benefits and costs will vary for organizations with more or fewer agents.
Prior to using RingCentral Contact Center, the interviewed organizations primarily used on-premises contact center systems for voice and multiple cloud applications for internal collaboration. Poor reliability caused excessive downtime. Agents found their legacy systems time-consuming and difficult to use. In addition, the legacy on-premises systems constrained operational flexibility and did not readily scale. The complexity of legacy systems increased the IT staff effort needed to manage them.

With RingCentral Contact Center, the interviewed organizations were able to not only deliver a better customer and agent experience but also decrease their contact center costs. The IT director at an enterprise software company summed up its impact by noting, “There are so many things we can do with RingCentral Contact Center that we couldn’t do before.”

Subscription Impact Report: COVID-19

Zuora | 4/27/2020 5:20:28 PM

The worldwide spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) has had a quick and damaging effect on the global economy. However, amongst operational disruptions, supply chain restrictions, and a global recession, subscription businesses are proving to be resilient. In an analysis of hundreds of subscription-based companies, more than half have not seen an impact on their subscriber growth, while one quarter are actually seeing subscriber acquisition rates accelerate even faster than before. And, of the remaining companies who are seeing their growth slow, half of those are still growing.

For the past three years, Zuora has published reports on the collective health of the Subscription Economy, developed by Zuora’s Chief Data Scientist and widely cited by various publications. This special Impact report focuses on the earliest trends of how COVID-19 has impacted subscriber acquisition rates (“subscription growth”) from March 1-31, 2020 compared to the previous 12 months (February 2019-February 2020).
