We’ve been building our own power chord for customer care products -- include the right solutions, the right partners, and the right story. Our story is how the Connected Digital Experience benefits the digital journeys of customers worldwide.

Almost every innovation in contact center technology in the last 40 years was designed to attack the issue of time savings. The next wave of innovations is well underway. This time, it's an exciting new array of bots, AI, and machine learning. These are a critical set of enablers that deliver a true “next generation” customer experience.

While watching soccer in the United Kingdom (or as the rest of the world calls it, football), I metaphorically started to think of how the modern contact center has become what I refer to as the “digital goalkeeper.” Think of your contact center as your “digital backstop” and your agents as your “digital goalkeepers.”

Feelings are critical to how consumers evaluate the companies they interact with. They are looking more to be “connected” with, to, and through their suppliers. And when they do connect, it is increasingly via a digital asset. Consumers are looking for an experience that drives a positive emotion for them. Companies like Cisco provide solutions that ultimately help generate those feelings for consumers and businesses worldwide.
