If one thing’s for certain in these most uncertain times, it’s that humans are resilient.

Even after the immediate threat is over and the adrenaline of crisis management has done all it can, there will be long-term shifts in how we work, communicate, shop, and behave.

This diversity in communication channels requires that companies structure their workflows and route incoming messages efficiently to deliver on the omnichannel promise.

From our experience, it is the framing phase that is the most time-consuming as you have to consult with all the teams involved in the project and obtain various approvals to start the developments. Team coordination is also crucial when defining the roles of each team member within the project and potentially redefining or creating new positions.

In the face of COVID-19, many organizations have had to shut down their contact centers, and send agents to work from home. This has been accomplished on impossible time tables. One of the big concerns with at-home agents is whether they have the right environment to effectively handle calls. This includes physical environment – do they have a desk, a room free from background noises from children, roommates, pets, etc?
