Vodafone now serves customers 30 seconds faster, with one department handling 18 million monthly cross-channel contacts. In addition, Vodafone saw a turnaround in Net Promoter Scores.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Vodafone Connects with Customers Through Genesys CX Platform\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UtWlUU6XdBg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genesys.com\/customer-stories\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Red Hat,<\/a> global provider of open source software solutions, struggled with disconnected contact centres that couldn\u2019t support rapid growth.

This improved workflow management and cut customer handling time by 10%.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Genesys Customer Success - Red Hat\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UisVdvYjAHk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genesys.com\/customer-stories\/telus\">Canadian telco company\u00a0TELUS\u00a0<\/a>lacked visibility into its customers\u2019 end-to-end journeys when it turned to Genesys to help.
