Contact centers are at the heart of a utility and the front line for customers during outages and their moment of urgent need. And today, it’s a vital business requirement to support your customers effectively to ensure satisfaction, while balancing operational costs and labor challenges. The good news is that these strategic imperatives are no longer mutually exclusive. Utility providers can improve the customer experience by automating transactions like outage notifications through a digital customer journey, while also lowering expenses using the power of Conversational AI.
