The combination of speech analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) is a powerful tool for understanding what customers are communicating and how to address their intent, even in real time. That’s a game changer. Natural language processing and understanding technologies can

Self-reported surveys certainly provide useful information, but speech analytics and AI can provide a much more accurate picture of what customers are communicating because the technologies are working with all the information, not just a sample of the whole.

necessity is the ability to conduct business seamlessly even in the face of calamity.
Fortunately, virtual contact centers offer all the customer-facing components businesses need to serve customers, including voice, email, chat, messaging, and self-service tools, to answer questions quickly and deliver on key performance indicators. They also can support a far-flung
workforce with workforce optimization, coaching, and other employee-focused engagement tools to help develop agent skills and improve retention. Plus, they enable business continuity by virtue of their very architecture.
