Founder at SJT Consult
Omnichannel contact center has unified customer interactions and delivers smarter routing
Regarding scripters, I should clarify that Genesys Cloud CX dashboards provide real-time data, showing call counts, satisfaction levels, and pending interactions in the queue. Agents can see their workload and know when to take breaks, with managers benefiting from comprehensive team management. We also created dashboards tailored for point-of-sale locations managed by Genesys Cloud CX, and overall, we have been very satisfied. However, I should note that the dashboards are somewhat basic in functionality, making it challenging for an agent to build visually appealing dashboards compared to other market solutions where drag-and-drop features are simpler. My overall experience with Genesys Cloud CX has been positive but should be seen in perspective, as nothing is purely black or white; there are shades of gray. While the metrics and system capabilities reflected success, our goal in implementing Genesys Cloud CX was to standardize processes. Thus, we faced challenges related to change management due to the tool's complexity. It required extensive training, especially for predictive elements, because it is a business-class tool not suited for everyone and often demands several months of training.

Structured ticket workflows have improved resolution speed and have supported SLA-driven support
ServiceNow Customer Service Management is offering very good things, but I felt improvements to our process would allow us to depend on this tool in many other ways. Regarding the interface, currently the user who creates the ticket has a very limited interface with only the options for creating a ticket and providing details, while the support team has a much larger interface with many options, including SLA details and report generation. While this classification is great, I felt that some modifications could be brought to the interface. I felt that further modifications can be made so that it could be a perfect tool.
