With the emergence of new digital channels, including social media platforms, mobile apps, and a plethora of messaging platforms, customer journeys have evolved to encompass multiple digitized ways of interacting with brands and organizations.

The digital transformation of CX does not only involve the incorporation of new digital channels for customers to interact through, a comprehensive digital strategy requires businesses to meticulously prioritize and optimize all aspects of customer journeys via digital transformation.

Read on to discover what the digital transformation of CX entails and explore why this may be the right move for contact center operations in your business.

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.

Why should organizations consider the digital transformation of CX?

In general, businesses that leverage a digital-first CX environment for CX delivery can deliver a commanding customer experience through every interaction.

Here are the main tangible benefits businesses stand to gain by implementing the right plan for the digital transformation of CX:

Maximized ROI: Digital solutions such as machine learning algorithms, AI tools, and general automation of routine tasks allow agents to be more productive at their jobs, leading to peak efficiency and maximum ROI within contact center operations.
