Upstream Works, a provider of agent-first contact center desktop solutions, announces Upstream Works Desktop 6.0, which features optimized AI and bot management capabilities, performance dashboards, enhanced digital and video engagements with Webex by Cisco, and platform expansion with Upstream Works on Cisco Webex Contact Center (UWW). With a focus on the omnichannel agent experience and enterprise innovation, contact centers can empower agents, provide an efficient customer service experience, and improve business performance.
Upstream Works provides flexible omnichannel contact center desktop solutions that support digital transformation, innovation, business growth, and enable contact centers to operationalize artificial intelligence (AI) while leveraging existing systems and investments. The agent desktop simplifies and improves agent and customer experiences with productivity and collaboration tools, the AI-powered Virtual Agent Portal, digital channel flexibility, integrations with AI, business applications and CRM systems, and reporting and analytics.
Upstream Works Desktop 6.0 allows clients to further optimize bot performance and effectiveness with the new Bot Experimentation Framework, which allows bot comparison and A/B testing, as well as with advanced reporting and analytics. The Event Data Stream Framework provides powerful and flexible reporting capabilities on agent assistive features, enabling data-driven decisions and easier management.
Omnichannel dashboards with real-time or historical key performance indicators (KPIs) including Customer Effort Score (CES) and First Contact Resolution (FCR) provide agents and supervisors with greater visibility and actionable insights of contact center performance.
The Upstream Works solution empowers agents with a seamless and consistent desktop experience and one continuous customer conversation across multiple messaging channels including Webex Connect channels, SMS, WhatsApp, Twitter DM, Facebook Messenger and third-party bots. It’s now easier for video agents to engage with customers in real-time with Upstream Works Desktop Smart Chat that leverages the Webex Meetings Video API to provide faster resolutions and a more personalized customer experience.
The new Upstream Works platform offering, Upstream Works on Webex Contact Center (UWW) provides cloud migration flexibility and a consistent agent desktop experience.
