customers. Easy to integrate and deploy, AssistEdge Engage 
(https://www.edgeverve.com/assistedge/assistedge-engage/?cmpid=PressRelease_Enga

According to CCW Digital research, only 18% of customers are 'very satisfied' 
with their typical customer service experiences. An enormous opportunity exists 
for organizations to reduce effort, increase personalization and deliver value.

AssistEdge Engage integrates assisted and unassisted automation capabilities 
and comes with a proven track record of having delivered increased first call 
resolution by up to 15%, minimized operational costs by 30% resulting in an 
increase in net promoter score of 8%.

"If there's one word to describe the typical agent experience, it's 
'difficult'," adds Brian Cantor, Principal Analyst, CCW Digital. "More than 80% 
of companies require agents to access multiple systems when supporting 
customers; about half provide agents with little-to-no context about customers 
escalating from other channels. EdgeVerve's AssistEdge Engage has the right 
combination of features to help contact centers eliminate complexity and 
provide agents with real-time, actionable guidance, thereby improving agent 
productivity and in turn, customer satisfaction."

Atul Soneja, SVP and Global Head of Edge Products and Infosys Nia, said, "In 
today's market, customer expectations from brands and service providers have 
increased manifold. It is imperative for organizations to own and retain 
customers by providing superior experience across all touch points. Contact 
centers continue to face challenges in delivering exceptional customer 
experience due to a myriad of applications which they need to access to pull 
out customer information. AssistEdge Engage provides a refreshed 360-degree 
view of the customer to enable the agent to engage better thereby resulting in 
an increase in customer satisfaction."
