Designed to help you sharpen your focus on the latest trends, technologies, and challenges reshaping the Contact Centre industry. Through a wide-angle lens, we’ll explore how AI and cutting-edge innovations are reframing customer interactions, empowering your Contact Centre to capture success from every angle.

“As a utility company, we know our customers sometimes need information quickly, so don’t want to be on hold with a call centre or have to search through pages of information for the answers they need. The chatbot solves this, providing quick and easy access to information and improving our customers’ experience with our brand. IPI has made this transition easy for us. Its team of dedicated consultants worked collaboratively with our team, finding creative solutions to problems and making sure that the chatbot both reflected our brand and met the needs of our customers. We are delighted with the results to date and are excited about continuing our digital transformation journey with IPI.”
