Despite rising digitization, numerous enterprises are experiencing increases in their expenses as well as inefficient processes. Some of the issues include manual data acquisition, permanent switches between different applications, media disruption and more. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) could be the solution to these complex problems if it is deployed in the right way.
Often, when we think about big data, we think about the volumes of data that are referred to. It is tempting to do this because big data does involve large volumes of data that are constantly growing at exponential rates. Advances in the growth and development of big data computing constantly dominate the news. It takes advanced software and BI tools to even begin to comprehend the volume of certain measurements, such as petabytes and exabytes.
Most of us have heard about it, but are we all able to explain what it is? Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is based on artificial intelligence. A wide variety of definitions have been used to try to predict its effect on years to come in business and privacy. People do not tire of discussing possible future changes, with both skepticism and emotion. So, what exactly lies behind the terminology, and in which way can RPA improve our future workflows and processing?
Enterprises primarily look for simple and low-cost options to offer their clients online services that make use of conventional chatbots (also referred to as ‘virtual assistants’). Instead of saving, in most cases, the expenses rise as the chatbots initially have to be ‘trained’ via so-called ‘dialog scripts’ in order to be put into operation. Those scripts have to be programmed manually! In addition, it is proven that traditional chatbots neither prevent further inquiries nor do they achieve favorable customer experiences. Rather, there is a high possibility of doing oneself a disservice by using chat robots. In light of smart speech assistance, such as SIRI or CORTANA, growing skepticism about their sustainability is valid.
Comprehensive ‘Information of Everything’ is about all imaginable IT-related issues, from self-learning software, discrete agents and automated objects to innovative apps and services, furthermore providing a platform for the Internet of Things. Gartner’s riveting predictions and analyses for the current year’s end include a future digital world based on Artificial Intelligence algorithms and smart machines that are able to facilitate a ‘harmonious relation’ between businesses and their clients.
Enterprises of all industries and sizes are facing fundamental challenges caused by the progressive digitalization throughout societies worldwide. After decades of inflexible work processes based on rigid rules and top-down structures, slowly but surely the public has dominated the market. Given their demands for individual quotations and immediate response, many business models have fallen into disuse. The future holds the solution in artificial intelligence (AI).
Senior managers in a range of industries agree that automated workflows are a high priority impacting internal and external communities of interest. Studies have shown senior managers are budgeting capital to make strategic investments in Robotic Process Automation (RPA). But what exactly does this mean?
Customer-facing processes and operations have one moment of truth that moulds the customers’ perceptions. You will ask yourself whether it’s when first contact is made with your business or whether it’s the last memorable chain of interactions. Or perhaps it might be somewhere in between the two, along the line of contact between your business and the customer.
The Customer Contact Expo in London is an impressive event with lots to see, learn and experience. There are keynotes, workshops and exhibits galore. But some remain etched in our memory even now. Paul Scott of Dimension Data presented a talk entitled “Go digital or die”, which falls into that memorable category.
Meet ITyX at the biggest trade show and conference for the Contact Center industry at the Mirage in Las Vegas from June 29th - 30th. We are presenting our innovative AI Omnichannel Contact Center, blending a scalable cloud based software for email, documents, social media, voice and chat, with our powerful artificial intelligence platform. What does that means for you? Cost Reduction, Call Deflection, CSAT Optimization or Process Automation are just a few examples. Step by at booth 1121 and find out more!
Many of the customer service leaders with whom I have spoken in the last year realize they have a significant ground to cover for their contact centers to be prepared for omnichannel. Many are in catch up mode- as soon as they implement the latest channel into their business process another communication channel begins to take on prominence. What’s driving this continual shift?
