Companies can now use NICE inContact CXone@home with the Zendesk Support Suite and the complimentary Zendesk Remote Support Bundle to help remote contact centre and help desk teams keep up with increased interactions due to COVID-19.

- Adjust quickly to handle customer demand and easily manage changes in demand
- Restore team productivity and performance
- Ensure compliance
- Manage staffing and adherence to service level agreements
Maintaining strong customer relationships is key to business success, especially during times of uncertainty.
Contact centre agents are on the front lines interacting with customers on a daily basis, getting to know their most pressing needs and solving their core issues.
Empowering agents with the right tools is essential to personalizing the experience, solving complex problems and meeting consumers’ expectations.
