Customers Can Make Smarter, Faster Decisions with Simplified
Access to Discussions, Technical Information and Knowledge
Verint® Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: VRNT), The Customer Engagement
Company™, today announced enhancements to its Community™ solution,
available in the cloud or on-premises. The Community solution is an
important component of the company’s automated Intelligent
Self-Service portfolio, which includes web self-service, knowledge
management (KM), intelligent virtual assistant (IVA) and
interactive voice response (IVR). Customer communities enable
enterprises to grow their self-service strategy, providing
customers with a private online site to find relevant information,
share experiences and get technical assistance, all without
requiring the interaction of a representative within an
enterprise.
The enhancements are part of Verint’s strategy to help
organizations meet growing consumer preferences for more automated
self-service interactions. Gartner expects “self-service customer
interactions to increase from 48% to 64% of the total within the
next five years, partly due to the augmentation of AI
technologies.”1
Conquer the Self-Service Challenge with Automation
“Companies have been trying to conquer the self-service
challenge for over a decade, and communities are one that should be
at the forefront,” says Verint’s GM of Intelligent Self-Service,
Michael Southworth. “Consumers are still craving some form of human
interaction along with their self-service journey. Through
communities, customers can interact directly with their peers,
receive real-time answers, responses and validation from fellow
consumers and organizations alike. Even though communities require
little employee involvement on the enterprise side, they are a very
important part of a company’s overall customer experience (CX)
strategy because they provide a critical forum to exchange ideas,
questions and best practices.”
While reducing demand for support, Verint’s Telligent Community
offering integrates with Knowledge Management (KM) to automate
content synchronization and search indexing, providing a structured
way for members of the community to find information and answers to
their questions on their own. This integration enables continual
updates to an enterprise’s knowledge base that are derived from
customers’ most frequently asked questions and issues. It can also
help enterprises capture customer feedback, and identify customer
needs and preferences—using the information for product
development, marketing strategy and to drive search engine
optimization (SEO). Feature upgrades include:
- Robust reporting
enhancements—Companies gain valuable insights and ROI metrics
for their community by understanding the details of customer
interactions. With automated drilldown reports, managers can easily
see the details behind the numbers, and the reports can be exported
for offline consumption. Community managers and customer experience
leaders now have a dashboard of important community health metrics
available to them with dynamic and interactive visualizations.
- Site theming experience
enhancements—Simplified theming enables easy branding and
customization of the community site’s interface in a matter of
minutes. A new theme studio offers advanced theme editing within
the site to provide customers with a quality, engaging online
experience that increases self-service use and return visits.
“Verint is unique in that we offer our customers solutions to
simplify, modernize and automate customer engagement, including
powerful Artificial Intelligence-based self-service solutions
across both voice and digital channels,” said Southworth. “Our
Community solution is a valuable addition to any enterprise because
it provides a new dimension to self-service customer engagement,
giving customers a rich interaction experience while requiring
little human resource investment. Additionally, AI is always
working in the background to route customer requests to the right
person if the customer needs additional answers or support.”
