CCW Market Study: The Future of the Contact Center in 2019

New metrics, channels, technologies and ideas are forever changing how we run customer contact centers.

They are not, however, changing why we operate contact centers: to meaningfully connect with customers.

In revealing their outlook for 2019, customer management executives confirm a renewed emphasis on the human touch. They will value "personalization." They will emphasize agent "empowerment." They will prioritize technology that can augment, not eliminate, connections with customers.
