The potential for artificial intelligence (AI) to support agents and businesses to deliver exceptional CX was central to many CCW Fall conversations. In particular, CX leaders want to know how AI can help agents give quick, repeatable, and easy access to information when corresponding with customers.
Businesses that have invested in an AI foundation are poised to reap its benefits, depending on how effectively they use smart solutions. For example, application programming interface (API)-driven integrations encourage cohesion and responsiveness in customer service environments. Deploying cloud-based solutions for data integration and analytics gives businesses the necessary agility to adapt to changing customer preferences.
To extract truly meaningful insights from the wealth of data at their disposal, CX leaders must put trust in advanced analytics and AI, as real-time data integration revolutionizes customer engagement and lets organizations make data-driven decisions at speed. Solutions that encourage cross-departmental collaboration are essential to break down data silos and deliver seamless customer experiences. The concept of data mesh architecture has emerged as a promising framework to deliver effective data management in this context. Integration-Platform-as-a-Service (iPaaS) is also increasingly being considered as a key enabler.
