Real-time analytics enhances decision-making through improved visibility
Genesys offers many improvements across the piece. Generally, all of them improve somehow, especially if you move from legacy solutions. The real-time analytics feature has impacted decision-making by providing visibility to service SLAs and understanding customer journeys. Additionally, the integration capabilities are very good because it is API-based and offers prebuilt integrations. The speech analytics and customer sentiment analysis are ongoing projects.
Rizwanuddin Qazi - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior ServiceNow Developer at McCann Health
Customer experience has improved through automation, actionable insights, and advanced self-service capabilities
Resolution speed has immensely improved because of ServiceNow Customer Service Management, especially the actionable insights, IT performances, and incident trends. Overall service health has improved in terms of the incident and response ratio. The benefits of having automation in place are that it has automated the process and most items are auto-populated within the services. Most of the time, there are pre-installed solutions where consumers can navigate before dealing with the developer side. The self-service portal has helped in creating and maintaining reports and dashboards with key metrics, and the resolution time and customer satisfaction have improved. Automated root cause analysis has improved for us, leveraging basic machine learning and identifying basic issues, reducing resolution times, and enhancing operational efficiencies.
