With the multichannel revolution taking place across the contact centre industry, your potential customers are voting with their feet and will pursue the service channel and supplier that serve them best. Every customer service operator should be asking:

Working with CONTACTBABEL the contact centre industry expert, KPS has commissioned a report on how self-service is evolving. Key findings in the report include user adoption trends by industry, growth applications for self service and key industry drivers behind the migration towards self service.
The Questions:
Working with our clients and other organisations in the contact centre industry we formulated a series of questions subsequently answered through contact centre industry expert CONTACTBABEL. The questions focus on understanding the opportunities, and challenges arising from a move towards self-service delivery:
– How do we engage team members who are concerned that self-service is being used to replace their jobs?
– How do we show to our board that self-service is more than just ‘nice to have’? What metrics should we focus on improving?
– How can we migrate customers from automated service to live service as required, while maintaining continuity?
– How can we manage the challenge of legacy systems where a lot of our information reside?
For each question the report details answers backed by industry data and research. Most importantly the report shows the trends on how self-service is being adopted across contact centre industries and which channels are preferred by customers.
