Utility Providers

 

Expectations of an increasingly demanding customer base along with deregulation are requiring utilities to upgrade their contact center infrastructure. Many customers assume that agents at utilities must have some knowledge about them when they call. Outage notification, integration with Automated Meter Infrastructure, and compliance with regulatory agencies require more frequent and effective communication, stressing legacy call center systems.
