Make everyone part of your customer service offering

An Enghouse Interactive survey revealed 75% of UK organisations see company culture and organisational structure as the biggest inhibitors to connecting their business and customers.

Any company that wants to focus on customer service needs to put the customer at the heart of their business. They need to leverage resources across the whole organisation and bring to bear everything from console management, to CRM, to call recording, to ensure this focus is maintained. To be certain of achieving this you need to implement a communications centre solution that is capable of intelligently managing all types of contact media as part of one fully integrated approach.
Enghouse Interactive solutions can help you make savings across the business and allow your more scattered and expensive higher-skilled workers become part of the customer service effort, as and when required.
