AI has been useful to many industries, call centres being one of them. AI has been deployed to handle mundane tasks and has also been quite helpful in optimising human interaction. However, altering your call centre’s structure to incorporate AI technology might be quite a complicated process.
Traditional call centers have always been dogged by several problems. Customer care reps have to rely on their natural senses to detect changes in customers’ moods. Also, they typically spend most of the call time searching for answers to customers’ questions. And then, there are language and cultural barriers, which are even more apparent in diverse societies like the US and Europe.
In today's world, call centers are an essential feature of any business looking to provide high-quality customer service experience. The stark increase in demand has led to improved solutions to the technical problems that burden call centers around the world.

The Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés or CNIL, the data protection authority in France, signaled that companies must inform their prospective customers about their rights while cold calling and allow them the option to access the company’s privacy policy via phone or email. Companies also need to be conscious of the information they provide consumers and the comments that they record. In light of the increase in data privacy breaches in the past few years, governments are looking to enforce more regulation around the recording of data. A typical data breach can cost a company $3.6 million. It can be challenging to keep up with the changes, but here are some of the key regulations that call centers must comply with.

Call centers are literally a hotspot for infectious outbreaks because they typically have large numbers of people on a single floor. Many businesses have already asked their staff to work from home to reduce the potential spread of the coronavirus amongst their employees. Last Friday, March 13, Cloudflare's co-founder and CEO Matthew Prince sent out an email to all its customers noting a 10% increase in Internet usage patterns in regions impacted by COVID-19. Peak Internet traffic has surged 30% in Italy which has had a national lockdown. If your system does not allow your employees to work from home, you have to figure out a contingency plan so you can continue to monitor your employees and route calls even when they're at home.
The worst part is that you found out about the incidents because the customers complained, not because your own managers picked up the issues.
