Customer service delivery is no longer limited to the realms of the contact center or to the outreach of field service. As the availability of product and service information on the Internet grows and communications platforms proliferate, both the providers and receivers of service have larger networks through which to communicate, interact and transact.

For the providers of service, a mastery of service information available to all stakeholders, whether internal or external, on all delivery channels and platforms, can greatly influence the efficiency with which customer requests for service are met, ultimately resulting in higher service margins (24% for Best-in-Class versus 13% for all others) coupled with significantly higher levels of customer satisfaction.

The ability to measure, monitor, assess, and track KPIs is critical to any organization's ability to manage its service operations. Some may use only the most basic, or standard, service KPIs (such as Mean Time to Repair, or MTTR), while others have developed more sophisticated metrics to hone in on the most critical areas reflecting service performance (such as field workforce utilization).

This report reveals how Best-in-Class firms distinguish themselves from all others by routinely benchmarking and measuring their service performance; implementing effective measuring, monitoring and tracking systems; integrating service KPIs with companywide CRM or ERP systems, wherever possible; and establishing a formal process for automatically collecting and disseminating data.

As global employment prospects lag behind a slow economic recovery, customers in many parts of the
world are more cautious and better informed than ever. They have access to a wealth of information
about the products and services they seek, much of it obtained from trusted sources almost
immediately. Yet businesses have moved slowly to exploit emerging technologies and information
sources like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. As a result, customers often seem better informed
about the products and services they buy than companies are about their customers. This imbalance
presents a big challenge to companies struggling to avoid commoditisation and it could grow into a
competitive disadvantage as customers demand more personalised service.

Web and IVR self-service applications are essential for most call centers. Leading call centers use self-service applications to handle anywhere from 20% to 90% of customer service interactions. (The percentage varies by call center purpose and geography.) As the demand for customer service continues to grow, self-service is not an option but a necessity.

Four business trends are driving companies to invest in self-service automation to eliminate or minimize the need to employ live agents to assist customers. These trends are:

1. The need to reduce call center operating expenses in order to improve the company's margins and bottom line

2. The desire to automate as many servicing tasks as possible prior to moving call center activities offshore

3. Existing self-service applications are reaching their end-of-life and are in need of replacement; in some situations it is less expensive to replace a solution than to continue to maintain an old platform

4. The current generation of self-service Web and voice portal technologies and solutions can deliver high-value applications not previously available

There are five additional call center departmental trends pushing even the most quality-conscious managers to consider using self-service to eliminate or dramatically reduce their need for live agents. 

This new white paper discusses trends in self-service solutions as well as highlighting these five additional trends that are driving self-service automation and adoption in call centers.
