Vonage has launched Vonage Contact Center (VCC) Intelligent Workspace.
The AI-powered new agent experience is built directly into its contact centre solution.
Designed to enable seamless communication with customers over their channels of choice, without leaving the agent feeling overwhelmed by multiple disconnected systems or the need to toggle between screens.
VCC Intelligent Workspace guides the agent through every customer interaction through a simple and intuitive AI-powered user interface, with the information they need at each step of the customer’s journey.
By putting AI capabilities directly into the agent experience, VCC Intelligent Workspace enables enhanced interactions with customers across any channel (voice, video, chat, messaging and more), intelligent virtual agents, real-time transcription and summarisation, and enhanced noise cancellation.
By using Vonage Communications APIs and AI capabilities, VCC Intelligent Workspace puts automation, intelligent insights, deeper engagement, next generation network APIs and global calling capability into the agent’s hands. This enables agents to focus on providing frictionless customer experiences that deliver better business outcomes and long lasting customer loyalty.
“Now more than ever, the contact center is a vital link between customers and brands, and its ability to drive customer engagement, satisfaction and loyalty is critical to creating the kind of customer experiences that drive repeat business and customer loyalty,” said Reggie Scales, head of applications for Vonage. “In an increasingly digital world, AI is crucial to delivering these kinds of enhanced experiences - across all modes of communication. By providing our customers with a fully integrated contact center platform, as well as the APIs to layer AI-infused capabilities across every customer touchpoint, VCC Intelligent Workspace offers the simplicity of a single-vendor, integrated solution, that is fully extensible and easy to implement for businesses of all sizes.”
VCC’s multi-mode agent model allows mixing different agent experiences in the same VCC back-end, to keep all the interactions in the same analytics and insights platform. This is powered by out-of-the-box integrations with leading CRMs and business productivity tools, allowing some agents to be in a leading CRM agent experience (such as Salesforce Service Cloud Voice), and others on the standalone Intelligent Workspace.
It can also integrate easily with Vonage Business Communications (VBC) unified communications solution. This unified offering – Vonage Fusion - provides one solution with VCC and VBC seamlessly integrated to deliver a unified user experience, enabling organisations to incorporate back office employees into the customer experience, or quickly organise ‘swarms’ with subject matter experts to assist in resolving an issue or finalising a sale with high profile customers.
In addition, for organisations relying on Microsoft Teams for their unified communication needs, VCC Intelligent Workspace also provides contact and presence synchronisation to allow contact centre agents to find the best available subject matter expert to assist their customer in real time.
