Verint: Modernizing Customer Engagement for Today’s Digital World

Today’s customers expect businesses to be able to deliver service, no matter which channel or device they choose—even if they use a combination of channels and devices for a single transaction.

This new service dynamic presents a variety of challenges for your organization. You need to integrate new technology to deliver service and train employees to use it. You need to evolve processes and procedures to reflect new ways of doing business. And you need to know how effectively you’re delivering service across all channels, so you can change tactics if necessary.

Traditional approaches to customer service are seldom equal to the task.  In conversation with Elan Moriah, president, Verint^® Customer Engagement SolutionsTM, we found out how this leading provider of customer experience software and services is helping organizations modernize customer engagement in today’s digital world.

You mentioned customer engagement. Why is that such a hot topic right now?

Today’s customers expect access to information, products, and services how and when they want—and they want an experience that just works. Providing an engaging, effortless journey can be the difference between keeping your customers and losing them to the competition. Conceptually, this sounds simple, but in reality, it’s not easy, and organizations struggle with the underlying technology and processes. That’s where Verint can help.

How do Verint solutions help organizations engage customers?

Our solutions focus on the core elements of customer interaction and engagement: the employees who deliver service, the internal processes and technology that support them, and the customers who take part in the interactions. Our goal is to empower employees and customers, keep decision makers within the enterprise informed about every aspect of the engagement cycle, and simplify the process for customers.

Let’s go a little deeper here. Can you elaborate?

Certainly. We’re focused on simplifying customer engagement, and we offer proven solutions that are easy to own, operate, and expand. That’s why our solutions support collaboration, automation, open interfaces, simple integrations, and cloud and other deployment models. These are all key success factors for driving modern customer engagement with greater simplicity.

As expectations for exceptional customer experiences continue to increase, having a knowledgeable, productive, and motivated workforce is critical for retaining customers and achieving meaningful business impacts. Our solutions empower the workforce by providing them with the information they need to deliver great service. We also offer capabilities for managing their performance and delivering coaching and training. And we offer automation solutions that can help organizations drive higher revenue, reduce operating costs, and cultivate greater customer satisfaction.

Empowering customers by making it easy to do business is an imperative today. We help customers quickly find the information they need, self-serve, and have effortless experiences. We also help organizations provide more proactive, efficient ways to meet customer demands anywhere, at any time, on any device.

Creating, operationalizing, and sharing intelligence across the enterprise is critical as the pace of business increases. Our solutions provide the ability to access and act on real-time intelligence, which enables faster, informed decision making and smarter outcomes.
