BO01/Canonical	BO01	Extend end-to-end journey orchestration to the back office. Provide a single pane of glass to agents for handle all work. Provide end-to-end observability and management.	In today's digital landscape, delivering seamless customer experiences is crucial for any organization's success. However, crafting a truly delightful experience goes beyond the initial interaction in the contact center. It requires a intentional approach, orchestrating both the customer interactions, originating in the contact center, and the back-office tasks, such as order fulfillment, account updates, and technical support, that ensure a positive outcome. Brands fail to meet these expectations if work falls through the cracks, leading to frustrated customers and inefficiencies within the organization. Employee morale can suffer with mounting workloads, while the business faces issues like low utilization, failed SLAs, high transfer rates, customer churn, lower sales, and poor visibility into overall performance. To address these challenges, organizations need a better way to orchestrate work from the first interaction in the contact center all the way through to resolution.

Eliminate “cherry-picking” and misrouting to process work and leads faster and more efficiently for better resource planning, equitable work assignment, and conversion rates.	You need a better way of distributing & managing work stored in disparate enterprise systems. You need your team to get more conversions in less time. When work or leads are not automatically distributed to the best available skilled resource, the result is a negative impact to customer promises, workloads, SLAs, churn, and sales conversions.	e37522ca-a290-4714-ae77-4f7518813b08	Head of Business Units, Head of Customer Experience, Head of Customer Service, Head of Ecommerce, Head of Sales, Head of Sales Operations	Are you failing to deliver on customer promises?

BO06/Canonical	BO06	Genesys Predictive Routing works in real-time, using AI to analyze 100s of data points to discover patterns to match customers to the best agents. With Genesys Predictive Routing, contact centers can improve customer experiences, grow revenue, improve efficiency, and optimize for important KPIs.	Today’s contact centers generate large volumes of data and have outgrown legacy skill and queue-based routing for matching customers and agents. It is almost impossible to optimize for metrics such as First Call Resolution (FCR) or Average Handling Time (AHT) because thousands of if-then rules have to be built and managed.	6bc7a3f3-9bab-4383-8fc8-4872d2740326	Chief Data Officer, Head of Business Units, Head of Contact Center(s)	1.Can your existing routing strategy predict the best available agent to increase revenue or reduce AHT or improve FCR? 2.Does your existing routing strategy adapt to the changing patterns of interactions using continuous machine learning? 3.Are you looking to innovate your existing routing strategy with predictive analytics and gain competitive advantage?

BO07/Canonical	BO07	Improve the customer and employee experience by giving business users a full view into real-time agent and workgroup activity and tools to take timely action. Genesys KPI Insights monitors performance against operational goals and provides simple filtering, drill-down and reporting to address service issues in a snap.	You need quick and easy access to data insights that will help you improve results. When data is missing or is inconsistent across channels, and when business users find it difficult to get to information they need to make good decisions, customer and agent experiences suffer.	dce4d5bb-8dba-406a-8ae5-174ab6c52e05	Business Analyst, Head of Contact Center(s), Head of IT Infrastructure	Are you able to set SLA targets and effectively monitor them? Are you able to drill down to understand root causes of falling SLAs? Can you see how many customers attempted self service but opted out? Do you know why they called in the first place?

(e.g., new hires, experienced, top performers)	BO07.jpg	https://all.docs.genesys.com/images-supersite/2/24/BO07.jpg	Limited data and reports – missing relevant business data and inconsistent data across channels Limited capabilities – business users unable to easily filter reports, sort or create agent and workgroup reports leveraging business data Reliance on IT - busienss users unable to take or automate action in a timely manner Agent Performance - Inability to identify the root cause to take appropriate and timely actions SLA drops - Inability to identify the root cause to take appropriate and timely actions	Make informed decisions based on business outcomes Provide end-to-end visibility into your business performance with consistent relevant business data across channels Allow business users to take actions in a timely manner with easily filter reports, sort or create agent and workgroup reports leveraging business data Set thresholds on various KPIs to monitor and take timely actions Wide range of agent and workgroup dashboards with relevant business data
BO11/Canonical	BO11	Genesys Dynamic Case Management (DCM) provides a no-code/low-code integration with DCM solutions to automate the distribution of structured and dynamic work. Drive process improvement, improved visibility, and faster case resolution with back-office automation and a single user interface for case management.	Contact center, back office and enterprise employees struggle to handle non-linear and human centric processes efficiently.Customer promises are broken as work falls through the cracks. Employee morale suffers with unfair workloads. Customer experience is suffering because back-office and front-office operations are not well integrated.	47d56d9d-941f-4f76-bba2-1ed54979b9dc	Chief Digital Officer, Head of Customer Experience, Head of Customer Service	Does your organization handle non-real time interactions such as CRM tickets, BPM tickets, HelpDesk tickets, letters, faxes, social media, web leads or emails? Is your workload repeatable with low level of exceptions (each task is handled absolutely same way with nearly no expectations in the process)? Do you miss possibility to track what your teams / employees (processing non-voice interactions) do through the day? Do your employees PULL work (tasks are PULLED by employees who waste their time by filtering / finding / assigning the next task)? Does the organization struggle of mid / long-term backlog (more work coming than the operations being able to process)? Does your organization miss a tool where business people can configure changes in order to change prioritisation matrix of entire workload?	BO11 - genesys dynamic case management - Header.png	https://all.docs.genesys.com/images-supersite/7/7d/BO11_-_genesys_dynamic_case_management_-_Header.png	Increasing calls related to online service and support Increasing repeat contacts Customer having to queue for a long time	Get actionable insight into what customers are doing on the Web, and across other interaction channels, to ensure that help is offered when it is most likely to succeed. Provide Employees with complete contextual customer information
CE01/Canonical	CE01	Create a unified virtual contact center by connecting customers to the representative with the best fit. Genesys call routing uses skills-based routing to direct calls to the resource best equipped to help, whether in your contact center, back office, a branch office, an outsourcer, or anywhere else in the world.	When your customers or sales leads call, they want to speak with someone who can fulfill their needs quickly. If they encounter excessive wait times or do not connect to the best representative in real time, they encounter unnecessary transfers, hold time, and repetition. This experience can result in customer frustration or loss of a potential sale.	8ac2b6a1-e316-4f2f-92b5-9c157029e698	Head of Customer Experience, Head of Customer Service, Head of Marketing Operations	1. How easy is it for your customers to get repetitive or easy issues fixed? 2. Are you concerned with abandoned calls due to a lack of available sales representatives? 3. How often do your customers have first contact resolution? 4. How often is a transfer required, due to representatives’ experience or knowledge? 5. What service level issues are you experiencing?	CE01_CE09 -header (2).png	https://all.docs.genesys.com/images-supersite/8/8f/CE01_CE09_-header_%282%29.png	Poor customer experience scores due to excessive wait times, transfers, hold times, agents who do not have needed expertise, and the need for repeat contacts High staffing costs to meet service levels Inefficient use of agents who are responding to simple inquiries or requests Inability to use context of previous interactions to optimize each customer call	Optimize customer experience by connecting them to a knowledgeable, efficient agent available within a configured time period As customers wait in queue, remove skill requirements to expand the pool of available agents Route interactions without conversations leaving the queue to better understand why customers are calling and keep your data clean for clear reporting
CE02/Canonical	CE02	Create an effortless experience by recognizing a repeat customer and prioritizing a connection to the same agent who previously served them. Offer expected wait times and the convenience of self-service or a call back. Genesys Personalized Routing uses context-based routing to direct calls to the best resource.	When your customers call, they expect you to know who they are. If they are connected to employees who don’t have any information about them or their previous interactions — resulting in unnecessary repetition, effort and time — your customer experience scores suffer.	c1ead22e-ae68-47ee-8c0b-780473a93ca8	Head of Contact Center(s), Head of Customer Experience, Head of Operations	When you get a repeat call within X (configurable) timeframe, are you able to automatically route the customer to the same agent? Would it positively impact customer satisfaction scores if repeat callers were matched with the same agent? Are you able to assign repeat calls a higher priority?	CE02.jpg	https://all.docs.genesys.com/images-supersite/8/8f/CE02.jpg	Unable to use context to enable a finer granularity in matching the customer to the best agent in the target agent group Calls with long handle times, with customers having to recap previous interactions Missed service levels within or across channels Increasing interaction abandonment and repeat contacts	Offer self-service and call back options Inform customers of expected wait/process times
CE03/Canonical	CE03	An alternative to waiting on hold can make the difference in a customer’s experience. After a threshold of time, give callers the wait time and the option of receiving a callback. Now you can deliver higher customer satisfaction without maintaining a peak-level staff.	When callers wait in long queues, customer frustration with your brand goes up right along with your abandonment rate. However, always keeping staff at peak performance level is costly and inefficient. You need a way to distribute calls during peak times to meet your service levels and keep callers happy.	9481a37b-caa7-4c20-a48e-39edb798ce22	Chief Information Officer, Contact Center Supervisor / Manager, Head of Customer Experience	What is your abandonment rate during peak periods of activity? What alternatives do you offer customers who've been on hold a while? What does it cost you to maintain staff levels for high-activity times versus less active times?	CE21 - genesys click to call - header (2).png	https://all.docs.genesys.com/images-supersite/a/ae/CE21_-_genesys_click_to_call_-_header_%282%29.png	Long queue times lead to abandons and missed service levels High staffing costs in order to have resources available for peak periods Unable to obtain view of operational performance through reporting & analytics Customer dissatisfaction with long waits and lack of options	When caller requests agent assistance from IVR, the queue times are dynamically checked When queue exceeds threshold set by business, the caller is played a message relaying the current wait time and given callback option Caller can choose to accept or reject the callback option When accepted, the callback is registered in the queue When the callback reaches the top of the queue, it is assigned to an available agent.
CE04/Canonical	CE04	Integrating Skype for Business into your main contact center routing environment and routing calls into your usual sales and customer service teams stops the silos.	Engaging with customers who want to use new voice channels like Microsoft Skype for Business can be difficult without introducing new teams and a separate technology silos.	8105310d-0632-4de2-bfb0-bb57d3131458	Chief Digital Officer, Head of Contact Center(s), Head of Customer Experience	Do you give customers self-service option for easy inquiries and updates? Are customers routed to a knowledgeable agent the first time, or are they sometimes put on hold, transferred, or sent to an agent who doesn’t have the needed expertise? Are you meeting service levels across your business?	EE18 - genesys performance based routing - header (2).png	https://all.docs.genesys.com/images-supersite/c/c1/EE18_-_genesys_performance_based_routing_-_header_%282%29.png	Customers are unable to get complex problems resolved on their first contact Agents cannot be experts in all areas and sometimes need to consult with an expert, resulting in long hold times or a return call to the customer Poor customer experience scores due to excessive wait times, transfers, hold times, and the need for repeat contacts Agents are unable to transition between voice, instant messaging, and video as needed to handle each inquiry in the most expedient manner	Customers are able to get resolution to complex problems in a single contact. Agents have the ability to quickly locate and consult with an available expert, successfully resolving customers’ issues in the initial contact Agents are able to merge the customer and expert in a 3-way consultation when needed, whether voice, IM, or video
CE05/Canonical	CE05	Manage urgent conversations by considering context and history across all channels, and by increasing the routing priority of interactions or reaching out proactively to the customer.	With rapidly increasing amounts of interaction, it is hard for companies to recognize the most urgent customer requests and give them the right priority. This leads to customer frustration and higher operational costs. With a modern customer experience platform, this doesn’t have to be so difficult.	https://www.lucidchart.com/documents/edit/00e4ff88-0e23-4a50-99cf-dbac7d9e423f/0	Chief Data Officer, Head of Customer Experience, Head of Customer Service	How does your company know that the current caller has made multiple failed attempts to contact you within X timeframe? How do you manage repeat contacts from the same customer within X timeframe? Do they get a higher priority?

CE07/Canonical	CE07	Cut out time-consuming identification steps with a simple, automated caller ID. Genesys Customer Authentication integrates with your customer database to identify callers by their phone number. This context is passed across channels — so you can identify, verify and proactively greet customers, without repetition.	Most IVRs require your customers to manually enter their information each time they call. Customers typically have to supply that information again when they’re connected with an agent or transferred — leading to longer handle times, higher purchase abandonment and poor customer experience scores.	10ffc237-4b26-4ea8-ad67-170b3bec5e8f	Head of Contact Center(s), Head of Customer Experience, Head of Customer Service	How do you currently identify callers within your IVR? Is it the same each time customers call in? If you can identify the caller, are you able to personalize by greeting the caller by name? Do your agents need to ask identification questions again, after the IVR has done so? If so, why?	EE01 - genesys workforce scheduling for voice - header (2).png	https://all.docs.genesys.com/images-supersite/e/e8/EE01_-_genesys_workforce_scheduling_for_voice_-_header_%282%29.png	Increasing competitive pressure High customer churn High purchase abandonment Unable to use context Poor customer experience scores Customers not recognized within and/or across channels Calls with long handle times Unable to connect to the best agent	Integrate with customer database for identification Identify customers based on their caller id If no identification, ask identifying question before verification If identified, ask verification question & determine whether to authenticate customer or not Call can be routed to continue in the IVR Alternatively, the call can be routed to an agent If an agent receives the call, they are notified that the caller is already identified & verified and do not have to repeat those steps
CE08/Canonical	CE08	Ensure secure interactions with a PCI-compliant solution that protects credit card data submitted to your automated IVR system or to an agent. Protect against fraud and preserve trust while still providing a flexible customer experience.	Customers expect convenience and demand data security. They want the option of phone payment with the assurance of cardholder protection. If you don't accept card transactions by phone, you lose money. And if you don't exceed data security standards, you put your customers — and your business — at risk.	3651e2f8-0cd8-442f-99da-344d3b48a817	Head of Compliance, Head of Contact Center(s), Head of Customer Experience	Do you collect PCI-compliant payments in your IVR? Do your agents collect PCI-compliant payments? What are your plans for increasing payment capture across channels?	CE27 - genesys co-browse - header (2).png	https://all.docs.genesys.com/images-supersite/a/a0/CE27_-_genesys_co-browse_-_header_%282%29.png	Inability to achieve PCI DSS for taking card payments Low payment capture rates Struggling to meet evolving compliance requirements Existing technology no longer meets business needs	The customer is transferred to the payment capture IVR application (transferred from IVR or initiated by agent). The payment application determines if the customer is identified and verified. If yes, the payment capture IVR application requests the credit card information via DTMF Based on the card used, the payment application requests the needed card details (expiration date, CVV, and so on). The payment capture IVR application plays back details to confirm before submitting. The payment capture IVR application is integrated with the payment gateway andcompletes payment through the gateway. When successful, the payment capture IVR application informs the customer of successful payment.
CE09/Canonical	CE09	Deliver a great experience and increase self service adoption by helping customers navigate the IVR quickly. Genesys IVR Personalization tailors messages, menus and treatments based on who the customer is and why they are calling, also taking capacity into account.	When your customers call in to service themselves, they want to get off the phone as soon as possible. Giving customers options that confuse more than help slows the process, causes frustration and leads to more agent interactions.	d390da11-f7f0-4d88-a337-97d9267f3e4d	Contact Center Supervisor / Manager, Head of Customer Experience, Head of Customer Service	Do all callers get the same experience in your IVR, or is it personalized? Would you like to treat your VIP customers to a better experience?	CE01, SL09, SL22.png	https://all.docs.genesys.com/images-supersite/c/c8/CE01%2C_SL09%2C_SL22.png	Low self-service adoption Unable to identify customers to provide a personalized experience Long handle times from increased call volume Low customer satisfaction due to generic IVR Experience Increased agent frustration and low morale due to handling of low value and monotonous queries Lower KPIs due to lack of segmentation	Identify caller using context or IDV data Personalized treatment based on context and business rules – for example: Proactively play status or balance update Proactively offer most likely call reason Personalized menu options See context for transfer to an agent If no personalized treatments, then continue with IVR application
CE10/Canonical	CE10	Present and capture complex information visually on a smartphone app whilst keeping the IVR call open. This enables users to process information faster and more easily complete their task. Finally, it also enables users to transfer to a live agent if necessary, passing context to the agent.	Listening to and entering complex information on an IVR is challenging due to the limitations of DTMF and speech recognition input modes. This leads to low self-service rates, poor customer experience and higher cost to serve.	b5a71f5c-2b4d-4b04-b4eb-84de0e9d1610	Chief Information Officer, Head of Contact Center(s), Head of Customer Experience, Head of Customer Service	Do you want to increase identification rates on your IVR? Do you want to increase self-service? Do you want to reduce default routing?

CE11/Canonical	CE11	Deliver coordinated outreach and create optimal engagements based on agent availability while reducing costs. Improve the ROI of outbound sales campaigns by efficiently acquiring, up-selling, and winning back customers through automated and assisted calling campaigns by using a powerful dialer for voice calls and IVR for voice messaging.	Dialing for sales outreach is a hard job that requires specialized skills. Low agent utilization due to sub-par dialers, manual dialing, lack of appropriate blending of inbound/outbound result in fewer sales conversions.	412200cf-cfd8-435f-b55f-444126326aba	Head of Contact Center(s), Head of Customer Experience, Head of Sales, Head of Sales Operations	What outbound channels are you currently using (e.g. dialer, email, text)? What is your monthly volume of Outbound interactions? How often do you reach out to customers/prospects? How many outbound agents do you have? What is the size of your sales rep organization and their utilization rate	CE11 - genesys outbound dialer - header.png	https://all.docs.genesys.com/images-supersite/f/f9/CE11_-_genesys_outbound_dialer_-_header.png	Calls by agents are effective, but they are expensive and can lose effectiveness over time. Low agent utilization due to subpar predictive dialling or an overreliance on manual dialling. Unable to efficiently pace outbound volume resulting in agent idle-time or call abandonment inefficiencies. Inability to prevent too many contact attempts to the same consumer or to meet compliance requirements such as excluding mobile numbers without opt-in. Cannot proactively contact sales opportunities.	Optimally pace contact attempts while taking the expected impact on inbound/outbound interactions and agent availability into consideration Self-service campaign management enables business users to create rules and maintain compliance Contact opted in consumers (assumes company provides preferences as part of their contact lists)
CE12/Canonical	CE12	Communicate important information simply and efficiently using Genesys SMS / Email Notifications. Customers experience a more satisfying and engaging experience with businesses. And companies reduce operational costs while ensuring important and time-sensitive digital alerts are delivered to customers wherever they are.	Companies want a quick way to engage with their customers to notify them of appointment reminders, delivery notifications, fraud alerts, coupons, loyalty program information, surveys and much more. Repeated handling of unnecessary outbound calls and preventable inbound follow-up drives up costs and can damage customer and employee satisfaction.	https://www.lucidchart.com/documents/edit/4ee3bdb1-9819-40a6-b56d-3743c0cf0e69/0	Chief Digital Officer, Head of Customer Experience, Head of Customer Service	Do you proactively communicate with existing customers? Does your agent call volumes include simplistic reminder calls? Are you harnessing SMS/Email as a preferred customer channel?	CE12 - genesys sms notification - header (original).png	https://all.docs.genesys.com/images-supersite/8/8c/CE12_-_genesys_sms_notification_-_header_%28original%29.png	Unable to keep customers informed about their accounts and the products and services they use Can’t engage with customers over their preferred channels Unable to deflect avoidable inbound contacts resulting in higher agent costs and lower satisfaction	Proactively sending timely and personalized alerts, confirmations, and reminders using multiple channels results in lower customer effort and fewer inbound interactions Contact consumers in accordance to their channel preferences (this use case assumes the company provides contact list with only opted-in customers) Reduce outreach costs by leveraging less expensive digital messaging versus agent calls
CE13/Canonical	CE13	Genesys Omnichannel Notification empowers customers to personalize the information they receive — and define when, where, and how they receive it. As a result, customer satisfaction and loyalty increase because the customer stays informed, while operational costs go down as low-value inbound interactions decrease. Companies are able to develop multi-wave campaigns that use calls, voice messages, emails, and text messages.	Providing proactive service updates or reaching a prospect at the right time with a personalized message using a customer’s preferred channel such as SMS, email, or voice can be a difficult business objective to achieve. Relying on manually sent notifications is inefficient and error-prone, and doesn't provide the tools necessary to stay within industry regulations and compliance standards.	54a3ae96-07ab-48ad-8a90-9c202c95a253	Chief Digital Officer, Head of Collections, Head of Contact Center(s), Head of Customer Experience, Head of Customer Service	How effective are the channels you are using? What is your monthly volume of interactions? What is the size of your sales rep organization and their utilization rate? How many consumers are in your contact list? How frequently do you contact them?

Proactively sending timely and personalized alerts, confirmations, and reminders using multiple channels results in lower customer effort and fewer inbound interactions.

CE14/Canonical	CE14	Delivering proactive notifications to communicate contextual, relevant, and timely information builds trust and increased satisfaction with customers which improves brand loyalty. And by handing potential issues proactively, low-value inbound interactions are eliminated which decreases operational costs.	Customers expect to stay informed with proactive notifications sent through their preferred channels such as SMS, email, and voice. Notifications that aren’t timely and relevant are ignored or not trusted by the recipient. This eventually leads to a costly and preventable agent-assisted interaction.	https://www.lucidchart.com/documents/edit/b12548a0-8a38-4d80-8d57-488dd032fa90/0	Head of Contact Center(s), Head of Customer Experience, Head of Customer Service	What situations create your top abandoned interactions?

Reduce collections costs by proactively engaging customers via their preferred channel. Offer customers convenient options for callback or follow-up to process payment, that in turn optimize agent resources to more valuable collection efforts.	Receivables are aging and the number of collections increase. Agents are not effectively utilized for collections as they are spending time chasing down customers or not getting connected. Resourcing costs are increasing at a faster pace than receivables. Overdue payments and collections could be decreased if capabilities for proactive and automated reminders were available.

Genesys Email Routing streamlines your response process using email automation functionality that enables you to monitor, measure, and optimize your email flow to create a better customer experience.	When customers take the time to send an email, they expect a quick, personalized response. But as the volume of email interactions increases, you struggle to provide timely and helpful responses.

Automatically routing social media interactions across the enterprise to the right people brings new levels of scalability, consistency and responsiveness in your social media interaction strategies.

Enable the best possible business outcome across every digital channel.

When customers need more information while on your website or mobile app, they want to speak with a well-informed individual who can provide real-time assistance.

CE23/Canonical	CE23	Genesys Web Monitor gives you the tools to monitor your customers’ web and mobile behavior in real-time and to observe and identify actionable events. This includes input for proactive engagement or treatment on other service channels.	Customers are using your web and mobile sites to explore their own issues online, but it's hard to understand their behavior. The result is high abandonment rates and lack of access to customer service or support.	https://www.lucidchart.com/documents/edit/3390a139-bb89-42ee-8fe3-398eaea62749/0	Chief Digital Officer, Head of Customer Experience, Head of Customer Service	Do you monitor customer behavior on web and mobile sites?

You can offer callbacks in those areas where customers struggle, but only when you have staff available. This enables you to help your customers navigate customer service issues or complete tasks without needing to start from scratch.	Customers come to your website for help, but sometimes they get lost or stuck in when completing a self-service task. This causes frustration and a sense of abandonment, leaving customers feeling unsatisfied or even angry. If they then call you, it also increases your workload and your costs.	https://www.lucidchart.com/documents/edit/ef500c53-bb4d-44aa-b693-67ac619d5e6c/0	Head of Contact Center(s), Head of Customer Experience, Head of Customer Service	Do you monitor customer online behaviors?

CE27/Canonical	CE27	Improve first contact resolution by letting agents "show and tell" with your customers through a co-browsing session, using real-time annotations, comments, or even the ability to take control of the customer's screen. There's zero footprint for customer ease and content masking for peace of mind.	Your customer is frustrated because they're having trouble on your website. Your agent is frustrated because he can't see where the customer is struggling. The customer has to describe what's on the screen; the agent has to articulate where to click. It's cumbersome — and results in long handle times.	https://www.lucidchart.com/documents/edit/5e640adf-24ad-4b34-97e0-c23575a4035e/0	Chief Digital Officer, Head of Customer Experience, Head of Customer Service	Would your business/service benefit from collaboration capabilities?

CE29/Canonical	CE29	Connect a customer to the right resource anywhere in your business by routing customer text messages to your best-fit agents. Genesys SMS Routing uses skill-based routing so messaging your company for support is faster and more efficient than calling and enables conversations from anywhere.	Your customer wants to contact you in the same way they would friends and family — instantly, conveniently, and personally, with freedom to keep moving. If they encounter constraints, excessive hold times, inconsistent responses or multiple calls, that can damage customer satisfaction and put a strain on your agents.	3e66f6aa-6813-4305-811f-6f3fb6bd739b	Head of Contact Center(s), Head of Customer Experience, Head of Customer Service	Are you seeing increasing calls related to online service and support?

You work hard to build strong customer relationships. So when your most valuable or loyal customers call, it makes sense to connect them with employees who can help best — regardless of location. If your IVR can’t direct calls based on customer value, you can’t deliver a truly VIP experience.	https://www.lucidchart.com/documents/edit/47de3e42-8b4e-4532-838f-4b10c0c39526/0	Head of Contact Center(s), Head of Customer Experience, Head of Customer Service	How do you correlate customer value to the options presented to customers when they call?
