COVID-19 and Businesses:
Organizations roughly spent 15 billion dollars weekly during the first three months of COVID-19 to adapt to remote work. Everyone experienced it. No matter the industry, everyone had to go into survival mode. This included point solutions for video, messaging, and some stop-gap Cloud contact center tools and random quick fixes. Quick fixes are not always the answer. A lot of them resulted in fragmented customer experiences and fragmented employee experiences.
How does 8×8 benefit business?
There is a substantial difference in stats when looking at the gap between businesses that are not integrated versus integrated solutions. Companies gain significant efficiencies when choosing to integrate. There is also a 50% increase in agent productivity for unified communication-enabled contact centers.
