Best Contact Centers Of The Year: CCW At Home

August 25, 2020

There is no denying the exponentially changing customer service landscape. However, with challenging times comes great opportunity for customer-centric brands to differentiate themselves from competitors.

Organizations are redefining how they engage with their employees and customers in a new era. Customer contact executives, in particular, are managing significant changes in contact volume and pivoting in real-time from operating brick-and-mortar facilities, to leading agents in a home-based or hybrid environment. 

As a result, many modern contact centers are setting new benchmarks and reaching different heights in terms of pivoting workplace culture, technological performance and customer experience design. 

Some customer-centric solution providers, however, are reaching a little higher than others. These powerhouses received nominations – if not victories – at CCW at Home, The Virtual Companion to CCW Las Vegas.
