Automation is Poised to Grow Exponentially in Today's Contact Centers

As today’s contact center evolves into more of an exception center, the role of automation is poised to grow exponentially. 

The long term benefit of automation in the evolution of the contact center industry will be a reduction in agent turnover accompanied by an increase in overall job satisfaction, in addition to providing an efficient service experience for the customer.
