While the telephone remains the main vehicle for customers to interact with
organizations, multiple channels are being used, such as online chat,
instant and text messaging, web self-service, email and social media.
Consequently, it is imperative for companies to manage the customer
experience across each of these customer touch point. The NICE multi-channel
Interaction Analytics offering enables consistent and optimized service
levels across a broad variety of channels and provides an understanding of
what the customer is trying to do and the best way to deliver service.
“Delivering a positive and consistent customer experience is key to building
customer loyalty and retaining valuable customers,” said Michael Maoz,
Research Vice President and Distinguished Analyst at Gartner, a leading
analyst firm, “Yet essentially none of the companies providing customer
service over multiple channels are able to ensure such an experience as the
customer moves from one touch point to another. Multi-channel capabilities
help ensure an optimal customer experience and satisfaction.”
NICE’s multi-channel Interaction Analytics can automatically correlate a
customer email requesting a product upgrade with product feedback
communicated via social media, and then ensure that when the same customer
calls the contact center, an agent they talk to automatically knows about
those recent activities. The insights gleaned in this example help identify
a potential up-sell opportunity, as well as product design-related input
valuable for the marketing department. Acting on those insights helps
organizations improve customer satisfaction, build share-of-wallet with a
customer and increase operational efficiency.
“With today’s savvy customers reaching out to an organization via multiple
contact channels, companies must manage customer experience in a holistic
way – end-to-end and across multiple touch points,” said Barak Eilam,
president of NICE Interactions Business Applications. “With NICE
multi-channel Interaction Analytics, organizations can now deliver the best
possible customer experience, while improving business performance both on
the strategic and the operational levels.”
