AI as a key role in the digital transformation

Bringing artificial intelligence into your service organization is a prime example of the power of digital transformation. AI-powered chatbots that answer simple customer inquiries serve as a welcoming presence on your website, reducing the time customers have to wait to reach an agent.

Deploying chatbots to handle level one inquiries also frees up service personnel to spend time on more sensitive cases. AI-powered bots can serve as the entry point into intelligent case routing systems. When a customer’s query is too complex for the chatbot to handle, natural language processing helps map the question to the best available expert to resolve the situation.
