PALO ALTO, Calif. (PRWEB) May 30, 2019

Aragon identifies thirteen major providers in its first annual Aragon Research Globe for Intelligent Contact Centers, published today. The report states that the contact center market is evolving to address changes in customer expectations and enterprise requirements by leveraging emerging AI technologies, and details how enterprises can plan for the shift to a seamless customer experience.

In the report, Aragon identifies three key reasons for the emergence of the AI-based contact center (intelligent contact center):

The evolution of machine learning technologies and digital assistants are helping to drive the growth of this market, because they will be able to identify the real issue a customer is facing 50% faster than traditional approaches by 2022, according to Aragon Research. Today, contact centers are staffed by humans. By the end of year 2021, however, Aragon predicts digital labor will become a key feature in intelligent contact center offerings. It will be important for enterprises to balance the ratio of human to digital labor—i.e. the automation of tasks performed by computer applications that were formerly performed by humans.

“When every second counts, using AI in the contact center is a way to automate and resolve customer issues faster, and that’s why it has transformative potential when it comes to the customer experience,” said Jim Lundy, CEO of Aragon Research. “Making the right contact center choice is critical, and enterprises need to keep current and future AI capabilities in mind when considering providers.”

The providers evaluated in this Globe report include: Altitude Software, Aspect, Avaya, Cisco, Five9, Genesys, Mitel, NEC, NICE inContact, Talkdesk, Unify, Vonage, and 8x8.

Enterprises should use this Globe report to help them begin evaluating intelligent contact center providers and to understand where the market is headed. Aragon clients can access The Aragon Research Globe for Intelligent Contact Centers, 2019 in the AIN client community or on aragonresearch.com.
