“Powered by the industry’s only wholly-owned and truly unified communications as a service (TrueCaaS™) platform, Dialpad is poised to help businesses realize their true potential by completely disrupting the contact center status quo.”

“Dialpad is delivering game-changing AI across every mode of employee and customer communications at an unprecedented pace with smart virtual agents and intelligent omnichannel that work out of the box. This puts our AI Contact Center in the leadership position with a multi-year headstart on the competition,” said Craig Walker, founder and CEO of Dialpad. “Powered by the industry’s only wholly-owned and truly unified communications as a service (TrueCaaS™) platform, Dialpad is poised to help businesses realize their true potential by completely disrupting the contact center status quo.”

McKinsey estimates companies can increase topline revenues by up to 20% by maximizing remote customer interactions, through a combination of voice and digital channels within the contact center. Dialpad digital channels drive smarter omnichannel engagement with customers across the most widely-used digital and social media channels, including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and messaging platforms WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Twitter Direct Messages (DMs). Now any company can easily engage, share information, and respond to questions using any messaging service or channel their customers choose. Customer experience is the great differentiator in competitive markets and the companies who provide the fastest and easiest means of customer interaction, and meet the customer on their preferred terms, will set themselves apart.

“CX leaders are rapidly adding digital channels to offer their customers a variety of communications options, but just adding the channels isn’t enough,” says Robin Gareiss, CEO and principal analyst with Metrigy. “Organizations must use omnichannel to integrate these channels so live agents have both real-time and historical context of their interactions. And, many companies are pairing their digital channels with AI-powered virtual assistants to guide customers to self-service resolution or to escalate to live agents when needed.”
