As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, contact centers are focused on building a culture of flexibility and adaptability for essential workers to ensure continued consistent customer and agent support – often leveraging cloud solutions.

“The current climate has put a spotlight on the unique challenges individual contact centers and their customers face,” said Darren Rushworth, APAC President for NICE. “There is no one-size-fits-all model because there is no one-size-fits-all customer.
