As the cloud Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) industry evolves rapidly, organizations are facing critical challenges. Despite the accelerated pace of innovation, customer satisfaction rates are on the decline. This paradox stems from the prevailing trend of leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to reduce operational costs, particularly labor expenses that constitute up to 90% of customer service budgets. While some Latin American organizations have reduced their agent headcount by 10% to 20%, this cost-saving approach has led to customer frustration, signaling a clear opportunity for improvement.

Is your organization’s contact center strategy positioned to harness the power of AI and maintain a competitive edge?
