In the combined quests to meet the evolving preferences of customers who expect to be able to obtain answers and conduct business however and whenever they want and to increase the efficiency of customer care delivery, many organizations have elevated the priority placed on enhancing self-service capabilities offered via their website, mobile app, and/or IVR. And rightly so. Self-service has become the name of the game for modern consumers – especially those in the younger demographic groups, who increasingly value the convenience, speed and anonymity of self-service.

However, the ease of use and effectiveness of self-service tools haven't always earned the highest grades from customers with too little information available and the inability to find the necessary and current information to answer a question or resolve and issue cited as the most common frustrations.

But new enabling technologies, as well as an increased focus on customer experience in the design of self-service offerings are beginning to change customer perceptions of self-support.

Join us for this interactive forum at which you'll have the opportunity to learn where other organizations have been focusing their efforts to improve the effectiveness of customer self-service and to discuss self-service topics of interest to you with fellow participants.
