Future of Work Marathon Series – Day 4 The Contact Center of the Future

May 14, 2020 — Scott Edwards

Trends Driving the Contact Center of the Future

In day four of our virtual summit we had really great discussions and heard a lot of what’s on the mind of contact center decision-makers, the changing nature of contact centers, where they are during this shift to remote work and building a contact center around remote agents, and what the future holds.

 

Challenges, Current Situation, and Next Phases

In our first session of the day, Zachary Taylor, Director Strategic Communication Cisco Contact Center, had an insightful discussion to find out  the  unique challenges faced by contact centers in transitioning to the cloud. Joining the remote contact center conversation was Cisco Contact Center VP/GM Omar Tawakol and two prominent analysts; Sheila McGee-Smith and Robin Gareiss. After their take on the current situation, they closed with what’s needed in the next phase including the importance of data, AI, and the need for a business continuity plan.
