CCaaS Case Studies

Cloud is the wave of the future for contact center systems, promising continual feature enhancements for constantly improving customer experience, as well as business agility for responding quickly to a changing environment and supporting an agent workforce that is likely to remain hybrid if not heavily remote. But getting to the cloud can be a challenge: Legacy premises-based systems are highly customized and tightly interwoven into business practices, and some enterprise leaders retain concerns over cost and security. In this session you’ll hear from enterprise leaders who have made or are working through the tough decisions when it comes to migrating their contact center system to the cloud. They’ll share experiences and lessons learned; you’ll come away with specific advice and best practices that you can immediately put to use in your own enterprise.

 

Takeaways:

  • What drives to the decision to consider/move to CCaaS? Which organizations or individuals within the enterprise drive decision-making throughout the process?
  • What were the biggest challenges the panelists’ organizations faced during the process? How were these overcome?
  • What ROI/TCO calculations were made, and how did these impact decisions?
  • How is CX different with a CCaaS system than with legacy premises-based system? How does the migration change the role of IT in supporting contact center technology?
  • What benefits are enterprises seeing once the migration is complete? What can they do now that they couldn’t before?

02:00 pm – 02:45 pm

What Comes After CCaaS?

ACD, then call center, contact center, and now contact-center-as-a-service (CCaaS) – such has been the progression of customer service technology since the late 1980s. Each iteration brought additional functionality, slowly displacing–though never completely replacing–the earlier version.

As each cycle has lasted about ten years, it’s time to start thinking about what comes after CCaaS. How have customer needs, business imperatives and technology shifted, setting the stage for the next evolution? As happened with CCaaS, are there early versions of the next generation already deployed but still labelled as CCaaS until defined as something new?

In this session, the industry’s leading contact center analyst, joined by top thought leaders in the space, will discuss the direction the market and technology are taking TODAY that will define the next generation of customer experience software. You’ll come away with a fuller view of the strategic issues facing your contact center technology choices in the coming 12 months and beyond.

 

Takeaways:

  • How should companies still operating on-premises solutions be thinking about the move to the cloud? Is CCaaS the right next step or something else?
  • What kind of innovation should today’s CCaaS customers be looking for from their existing vendors? How should they evaluate whether it is time to move to a newer solution?
  • Which technologies need to be part of a customer experience platform, and which are ancillary to customer care, potentially including: collaboration, workforce engagement management, CRM, customer data platforms, artificial intelligence, workflow, orchestration, and automation?

Contact Centers 2026: Where We'll Be with CCaaS, AI, and WFO

The major trends driving contact center technology decisions are well under way: Enterprises are migrating seats from premises systems to Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS); AI-enabled applications are helping to improve key metrics, and workforce optimization (WFO) is helping contact centers run more efficiently. So where will contact center technology be in three years? Will the majority of seats connect to cloud-based systems? Will AI be replacing agent positions in large contact centers? What will the mix of traffic look like, and how will this be reflected in agent roles? In this session, a leading analyst who is studying all of these trends will give you his view on what to expect over the next three years. You’ll come away better prepared to set your own strategic plan for contact center technology.

 

Takeaways:

  • What growth will we see in CCaaS over the next three years? Will there be a “tipping point” where a majority of contact center seats are based on cloud systems?
  • What will drive CCaaS growth, and what will constrain it?
  • How pervasive will AI-driven applications be in the contact center? Will AI-powered systems allow contact centers to reduce overall agent headcount?
  • What new AI capabilities will we see emerge over the next three years?
  • How will WFO evolve, and what will be its impact on contact centers?

How Customer Engagement Platforms Will Drive CX 2.0

Customer engagement requires a digital-first, personalized approach. However, CRM systems, often deployed in departmental silos, cannot support customers throughout their various interaction journeys. These systems lack individual customer context, AI assistance, and automation to trigger the most relevant responses at scale.

Customer engagement platform (CEPs) break through the complexity of modern customer relationships by monitoring customer activity, analyzing behavioral insights, and orchestrating relevant interactions across customer-facing employees. The CEP’s power lies in its ability to link crucial systems and communications and then proactively deliver information.

This session, conducted by a leading customer engagement analyst, will give you a detailed examination of the market dynamics at play in the expanding CEP ecosystem, and will highlight how CEPs serve as the key to building a modern, digital ecosystem and enabling frictionless experiences. You’ll come away with a better understanding of the role CEPs can play in a successful customer experience strategy.

 

Takeaways:

  • How the economic and market dynamics are forging a new technology ecosystem for customer engagement
  • The criteria for a CEP and the platform’s approach to delivering frictionless, personalized customer engagement
  • What’s next in the CEP market
  • Recommendations for advancing digital, omnichannel engagement

03:00 pm – 03:45 pm

UCaaS Plus CCaaS: What are the Use Cases, Where are the Hurdles?

Most cloud communications companies now offer integrated UCaaS and CCaaS services, either as a single-vendor solution or through partnerships. But are enterprises actually leveraging these capabilities? What are the real use cases for these combined services, and are there successful customer examples? In this session, a leading analyst will moderate a panel of subject matter experts to help you understand the state of play—what does the technology enable today and what’s possible in the future; what business cases are being made and how compelling are they; and when we might see larger-scale adoption of UCaaS + CCaaS by enterprises. You’ll come away with a better understanding of where we are on the hype-vs.-reality scale.

 

Takeaways:

  • What are the most likely use cases for UCaaS + CCaaS? Is it still built around expanding CX capabilities beyond the agents?
  • How can a UCaaS + CCaaS solution benefit workers outside of the contact center and impact their productivity?
  • What’s the business case for going with a service that integrates UCaaS and CCaaS capabilities?
  • What specific challenges would an enterprise face in deploying an integrated UCaaS + CCaaS service?
  • Best of breed or single vendor – does it matter?
