What is the digital transformation in CX?

The CX delivery landscape has evolved from purely physical and analog channels for interactions such as through telephone calls, post, fax, and in-person visits to be dominated by digital channels.

The digital transformation of CX mainly revolves around implementing a digital-first environment that encompasses processes, tools, and strategies utilized for CX delivery. 

This initiative primarily revolves around migrating existing contact center operations with digital platforms while integrating the latest technologies and innovations into all components of the customer journey map. This generally goes beyond the contact center to also include related functions such as sales and marketing.

Among these technological advancements are CCaaS platforms and AI tools that can have a multitude of key functionalities, including the automation of repetitive tasks, generation of advanced analytics and so much more to enhance CX delivery and create a highly productive operation through a high-performing digital CX environment.
