Report key findings and contents
A few of the key findings include:
The average cost of an inbound call is $7.29 – 15% more than email and 21% more than a web chat. This differential is growing each year as more automation is used in digital channels.
70% of US contact centers now use at least one cloud-based application.
Web chat usage has risen by 74% since 2019, driven in part by the fall in telephony service levels experienced by many businesses.
The average speed to answer has risen to its highest recorded level: 101 seconds.
94% of US contact centers expect at least some remote working in 2022, although the large majority expect a hybrid model.
90% of businesses say that AI will be important to their contact center, with chatbots being the most widely-used method, although the use of live agent assistance is growing rapidly.
