In today’s world, contact centers are facing waves of unpredictability where last-minute changes and unexpected events are the norm rather than the exception. From recent hurricanes that disrupt service continuity to the rapid increase in contact volume like the fast food industry has experienced, or the unknown impact of the upcoming elections, contact centers must be prepared to “embrace the chaos.” To navigate business continuity effectively, organizations need more than traditional strategies—they need the flexibility, resilience, and global reach that only a platform like Arise® can offer.
Each year, we see more unexpected events impacting service demands and resource needs for contact centers. Natural disasters like hurricanes and snowstorms can shut down physical sites, causing immediate disruption to customer service. Industries with sharp peaks and troughs—such as fast-food during promotions, retail during holiday seasons, and travel during weather disruptions—require staffing solutions that adjust as quickly as demand does. Additionally, product recalls, cybersecurity breaches, viral social media events, and public interest around significant events like elections or economic shifts can create overwhelming volume spikes that demand swift, flexible responses.
When these unplanned events strike, they put an immense strain on operations and business continuity, impacting everything from staffing to technology resources. Without the right level of flexibility and the ability to scale at a moment’s notice, many contact centers are forced to absorb high costs, navigate customer dissatisfaction, and manage the loss of revenue associated with delayed responses and abandoned calls.
The Arise® Platform is a solution designed for unpredictability, providing contact centers with the flexibility, quality, and global scalability needed for business continuity in any situation. Here’s how:
