Customer Service a competitive edge. - Executive Summary | Business
As technology continues to infuse every facet of life, the trend towards online
self-service is increasingly becoming the norm. Given the increased pace of interactions,
communication, and commerce, time spent waiting seems all the longer. Customers
enjoy how quickly they can search a company's Web site to purchase a product.
They also expect the same ease and efficiency in receiving customer support. In
the past, people were accustomed to waiting for customer support. Telephone support
took a step towards automation by offering pre-recorded lists for customers to
help themselves. This might have made life easier for the help desk assistant,
but it was ultimately very irritating for the frazzled customers on the other
end. As much as 75-80% of service delivery costs are specific to service
resolution process. While there has been some effort to introduce support content
through searchable knowledge bases, the full potential to optimize the most costly
component of support and service delivery has not yet been fully realized.
