Facilities in the contact centre
Andrew McNair, Dimension Data’s Head of Benchmarking, says, “Historically,
organisations set the tone in how they collaborated with their customers.
However, the mega trends of mobility and the prevalence of internet-based
services such as video, web chat, and social media are transforming the way
the world wants to talk to organisations (consuming services). It’s the
customer who’s driving how, when and for what they will use each channel.”
