MORRISTOWN, NJ – October 16, 2023 – Avaya, a global leader in customer experience solutions, announced its participation at Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo™ 2023 today through October 19 at the Walt Disney Swan & Dolphin Resort in Orlando, Florida. At the event, Avaya will illustrate how organizations can choose their own journey to delivering AI-powered customer experiences.
At Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo™ 2023, over 80,000 CIOs and senior leaders will explore the technology, insights and trends shaping the future of IT and business, including generative AI (GenAI), business transformation, cybersecurity, customer experience, data analytics, executive leadership, and more.
This year, Avaya will highlight how new customer experience (CX) capabilities and the eruption of AI are radically changing customer experience. "The fusion of AI with customer experience is no longer a mere vision—it is our reality," said Jay Patel, GVP, Product Management, Avaya. “Avaya innovation, bolstered by the promise of AI, is helping shape the future of the employee and customer experience, simultaneously. At the Gartner IT Symposium, we are proud to showcase solutions that not only meet the needs of our customers but also place experiences at the forefront.”
Patel and Mary Daniel, VP, Customer Solutions Center Operations, Aflac will host a session, Balancing Technology with Personal Touch in Customer Experience, on Tuesday, October 17 from 1:45 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. ET. Technology is reducing expenses and making operations more efficient by automating various interactions, but it is important to not over-digitize as a personal touch provides empathy and builds relationships and customer connections. Daniel will accompany Patel to lay out how Aflac, with the help of Avaya, achieves the delicate balance between the technology enhancements and a personal touch, freeing customer service associates to deliver the human, more relational experience.
Using real-world scenarios, at Booth #959, Avaya will highlight how organizations can enhance their existing investments with new capabilities to further elevate the customer experience, including:
- Next-generation employee experiences powered by AI: Going beyond knowledge management, Avaya will demonstrate how advanced AI tools can help monitor and aid agent wellness, ensuring they stay in the best possible form to meet customer expectations. Avaya will also highlight how AI can help contact center managers easily create custom-made workflows, and produce advanced analytics quickly, enabling the entire organization to deliver outstanding CX regardless of changing customer preferences.
- Innovation at your pace: To engage with customers across more touchpoints, innovation is key. Avaya will show how our hybrid cloud options let you move at the pace of your business to deliver an enriched customer experience by adding cloud-based solutions to current solutions with no need to rip and replace. By layering on innovations, organizations can connect how they want, and give employees all the tools to meet customers’ needs. For example, the Avaya Experience Platform Connect solution gives customers the power to take specific elements of our omnichannel Avaya Experience Platform—a specific digital channel or AI capability—and deploy it on top of their existing, rock-solid voice infrastructure. Organizations can choose their journey to new capabilities and innovate without disruption. This is particularly valuable to large enterprise organizations, those in more regulated or sensitive industries like hospitals, and for many geographies worldwide.
- Transform learning with a modern communication platform: Student and staff safety has never been so important, even as educational institutions are challenged to stay current with emergency-calling laws. Avaya’s customer, Albuquerque Public Schools will share how Avaya helps this large school district provide multiple channels to connect and serve its community—all while simplifying communications and regulating costs through digital transformation.
- Empowering citizens and emergency staff: From severe weather or health crisis to an active shooter threat – organizations of all types must be prepared for emergencies to keep everyone safe. Avaya will highlight how the latest in communications technology helps organizations interconnect people, resources, data, and solutions to deliver information and respond to emergencies faster and more precisely than ever before.
