Eighty percent of companies believe they deliver a superior customer experience, but only 8% of their customers agree, according to Bain & Co. Most contact center outsourcing firms meet service level agreements, but their clients are consistently dissatisfied with levels of innovation and flexibility of services, according to Forrester Research.

Whether handled in-house or outsourced, delivery of customer service is clearly broken.

S3 Integrity has no panacea, but we do believe this: Companies, customers and outsourcers all benefit from deflection and reduction of high-cost, agent-assisted interactions, achieved through application of lower-cost, web-based self-service solutions...for customer service, technical support and sales applications. 

Proper integration of web-based self-service solutions with agent-assisted service delivers tangible ROI, as measured by:

• Lower Operating Costs - through the deflection of expensive phone, chat and email transactions.
• Increased Revenue - based on a thorough understanding of customer behavior.
• Improved Products and Services - gained through direct customer response and feedback.
• Higher Brand Loyalty - achieved through delivery of a Customer Experience that benefits the consumer as well as the provider.
