Background:

This insurer is looking to upgrade their contact center platform and supporting telecom (dial tone) provider. Many options exist and most appear to be 100% cloud-based eliminating the need for dedicated SIP/PRI lines back to the home office / data center AND better supporting remote working scenarios. In addition, the surge of unified communications platforms like Teams, Slack, etc. at the start of COVID has changed how policyholders and agents want to interact with carriers and expectations of the carrier’s employees regarding contact center functionality.

Questions:

What is your current contact center platform?

Is your contact center platform cloud-based or on-premise?

How many years have you been on your current contact center platform?

What omni-channel options does your current platform support:

  • Telephone?
  • Chat?
  • Text?
  • Social Media?
  • Other?

Are you looking to replace your current platform?

If so:

  • When?
  • What options are you considering?
  • Cloud-based or on-premise?

Who is your current vendor for telecom (dial tone)?

Who is your current vendor for unified communications?

Anything else re: contact center software, dial tone providers and unified communication platforms you would like to share?
