For More Performance in Customer Dialogue
This year, the trade fair “Call Center World” – CCW for short – took place from February 28 to March 2,2023. The central theme of the 24th International Congress Fair for Innovative Customer Dialogue this year was “Total Experience Management”. Customer experience across all channels and excellent service solutions were the focus of the exhibitors at the fair. In addition to 6,500 international visitors and 200 exhibitors, the IT Center also visited the trade fair in Berlin. What is currently happening in the service industry? What new technologies await us? What will advance customer service? Exhibition stands, speaker forums and demo talks informed visitors about the current trends and movements in the customer dialogue industry. On two exciting days at the fair, we spoke with many exhibitors from the various companies. One thing became clear to us very quickly: new AI technologies such as chat bots and voice assistants, as well as customer experience across all channels, are indispensable in the current world of customer service.
