3. Contact Center of 2030 Market Study
CCW Digital recently conducted exclusive research into the current and future state of the contact center, which Glance was proud to co-sponsor. The study generated some findings that paint a vivid picture of what’s to come, for example:
- 78% of leaders believe the contact center will go beyond service to handle most customer-facing communication.
- More than 60% of leaders believe agents will only be responsible for highly complex or personal matters by 2030.
- “Agents will transition to providing consultative support for customers and issues whose needs are too complex or unpredictable for even the most advanced automation.”
As we express our gratitude for these enriching experiences and recognitions, we remain committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the world of customer experience. The insights we've gained from industry leaders and market studies continue to inspire us to innovate, adapt, and create authentic human connections in a digital world.
Thank you to all our partners, collaborators, and customers who have been part of this incredible journey. We look forward to an even more exciting and transformative future in the CX landscape.
