WHAT TO EVALUATE

Technology decisions should start with the business requirement.

Contact center technology should make service easier for customers and employees. Platform selection works best when business outcomes and operational workflows lead the requirements.

Reporting, analytics and routing requirements

A PRACTICAL APPROACH

Evaluate what matters before comparing vendors.

Customer Journey

Start with how customers enter, move through and complete service interactions.

Agent Experience

Evaluate the tools, context and workflows employees need to resolve issues efficiently.

Measurement

Define reporting and quality requirements before vendor demonstrations begin.

BUYING & PLANNING GUIDANCE

Questions worth answering before you choose a provider.

These are the practical issues NIS helps businesses evaluate before comparing products, proposals and contract terms.

Map the customer journey before choosing features

A contact center platform should support the way customers actually reach the business and the way agents work. Voice, chat, messaging, email, routing and CRM context should fit the operating model.

Agent experience and customer experience are connected

Desktop complexity, application switching, poor call quality and limited visibility can affect both productivity and customer satisfaction. Platform selection should account for the agent workflow.

AI should solve a defined problem

Virtual agents, transcription, summarization, quality management and analytics can add value when connected to measurable service goals. AI features should be evaluated for accuracy, governance and integration—not simply because they are available.

Implementation is as important as platform selection

Call flows, integrations, data, reporting, training and change management often determine whether the technology delivers the expected result.

Technology works as a system.

Connectivity, cloud, communications, security and managed services often influence one another. Related areas worth considering:

Planning a renewal or change?

An upcoming renewal, new location, performance problem or cost concern is a good time to review the broader environment—not just the service that happens to be expiring.
