PCI Compliance in the Contact Center

Administrators of Contact Centers have 2 major bosses when it comes to maintaining a secure credit card environment:  the companies that issue the cards and customers who are nervous about falling victim to credit card fraud or identity theft. Businesses who fail to maintain a secure environment for processing, storing, and transmitting credit card information face severe and lasting consequences. The issuing card companies can not only suspend their privilege to accept their cards, they can also levy monthly fines ranging from $50 to $90 for each card compromised. And since the fines are retroactive, the offending business is on the hook for all the months their customer data was endangered.

Your Contact Center in the Cloud

What does moving your Contact Center to the cloud mean to the customer?  Are there benefits?  Calling into a contact center is never a favorite task of anyone.  We know that a number of us hang up in frustration when we call in and either get put in a queue waiting until an agent is available or even worse, enter into a seemingly endless series of menu choices while trying to solve our issue. Could a move to the cloud alleviate some of the problems in an overwhelmed contact center?

We suggest that yes, the solution to some of the problems in your contact center is to move it to the cloud. We know that this migration can save money.  Can it also actually improve your customer experience? A recent study by the Aberdeen Group indicates that customers are more pleased with their service when dealing with an efficient cloud contact center. In fact, it showed abandonment rates were significantly lower in cloud contact centers compared with traditional call centers, with just 4.5% of calls abandoned.

Why Do Customers Hang Up?

As previously mentioned, customers often don’t want to be calling into a contact center in the first place so there is already a bit of frustration.

Chatbots – An Attractive Option for your Contact Center

Contact Centers are transforming to keep up with the needs and demands of customers.  Automation has always been part of the contact center world – and so it is no surprise that chatbots have been added to the mix.  Since they were introduced, as is with all things related to AI, chatbots are getting better the more we use them. Machine learning is different than human learning – it’s only as good as the data we feed it. Chatbots lack natural cognition to challenge inputs such as 1+2 = 4. But over time, patterns are established that make chatbots “intelligent” –  and smart enough to take on more and more complicated tasks.
