Streamlined future thinking platform with some admin negatives.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our Org uses Genesys Cloud CX to manage our global contact center for our care organization. It has created a streamlined process that has significantly improved our admin time and enhanced our overall agent experience. Our platform's scope is 1200 agents situated across the globe, operating on a 24/7, 365 schedule.

Pros

  • Streamlined Admin tasks using one application.
  • The company values customer feedback and implements improvements on a consistent, regular basis.
  • Ease of integration with 3rd party CRMS.

Cons

  • Alert No Answer: needs to be addressed and divided to ensure transparency in the interaction, whether it was customer abandonment or agent behavior.
  • A constant request in the community is for a dark mode. The Revamped UI has made this a little better, but it's still a bit overbearing.
  • Requires using APIs to perform some admin tasks that other platforms have built-in native exports.

Return on Investment

  • Improved agent admin tasks by 50% versus our previous platform.
  • We have received increased pushback from the business over transparency with Alert No Answer. One of the metrics that we use for agent evaluation is Ring No Answer. This was a major pain point at the start of the platform, and directors were calling for us to drop the platform.

Genesys Cloud CX Review

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It's the base of our contact center operations. We run everything out of it, so our full-time daycare, our backup daycare, and we also do tuition reimbursement. It's what everything's pulled into our customer bases. Our CRMs are tied into it. Genesys also handles the scheduling of the contact center. It's really the heart of the business.

Pros

  • Since I've come on and with my roles in it, the big thing that I like about it so far is that it seems to constantly be growing. Some of the big parts are on the quality side of sentiment analytics topics getting into the AI bots. Since we got into those, it has changed so much and we just keep seeing more and more on the roadmap of upgrades coming
  • Leading the way in AI

Cons

  • There are definitely some features and functionality we'd like to see. We have groups in workspaces, but they don't seem to be tied into very many portions of Genesys Cloud CX. You can only use groups and workspaces in specific places. It'd be nice if we could integrate those more where we already have these groups rather than building those same groups of people in another form to use in this section.
  • One thing I hear constantly from my quality monitors is: can we add a mass delete button for interactions that have been delivered? I had a person recently, they had a policy running, forgot about it. A couple months later they went in and they had 300 interactions, so they had to delete them all one by one by one. Little things like that that hopefully are in the roadwork.

Return on Investment

  • Helps manage the staff needed.
  • AI features are costly.
  • We consolidated several systems into one with Genesys.

Genesys Cloud CX - the best CCaaS product

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are a leading RCM company and provide services for our health care clients. Since we are dealing with health care client, we were looking for a CCaaS platform which was PHI & PCI compliant and had AI functionalities. Based on our evaluation of all products, Genesys Cloud CX was the best of them all, which matched all our requirements.

Pros

  • From an administrator point of view Genesys Cloud CX provides a drag & drop omni channel flow building option using Genesys Architect tool. The interface is very intuitive and provides flexible options to design call flows
  • Genesys Cloud CX has deep integration with Salesforce & ServiceNow
  • Genesys Cloud CX provides native Workforce Engagement Management. This reduces the dependency to unnecessarily procure products from other vendors for quality assurance auditing, screen recording or agent scheduling
  • We can also deploy BYOC (Brin Your Own Carrier) for telecom SIP trunk deployment. This is a big bonus when we want to reuse our existing DID's with our SIP trunk providers

Cons

  • Nothing specific as Genesys Cloud CX is able to tick all the boxes

Return on Investment

  • Through the use Genesys Voice AI BOT we are now able to offer 24/7 customer support for standard customer queries which earlier had dependency of agents availability who were 9/5
  • We were able to utilize our existing DID's and deploy BYOC SIP trunks in Genesys Cloud CX. Since we had better call rates negotiated with our carriers, BYOC saved us a lot of telco cost
  • Agents were provided with agent co-pilot which helped them to handle customer calls more efficiently
