Avaya bases its initiatives on thorough analysis and alignment with business objectives to increase efficiency, resilience and innovation capabilities for businesses. The Avaya-Microsoft partnership provides integrated cloud capabilities combined with professional services to support these transformations.” Atento, which provides customer relationship management and business process outsourcing services in Latin America, leveraged a combination of Avaya cloud and on-premises contact centre solutions. This provided the flexibility needed to move to an operational expenditure consumption model. Plus, Avaya’s AI-powered voice transcription and real-time sentiment analysis tools helped to increase customer satisfaction for Atento. “Atento saw significant gains in call centre agent productivity, customer satisfaction and cost efficiency,” says Rivero. “By innovating together, Avaya and Microsoft help make mega customer experience providers like Atento more successful in transforming processes and strengthening their customer relationships.” Photo: iStock/milorad kravic
