Here are five things to consider:
Product Upgrades
Identify a contact center solution that offers a wide range of features to support your business needs. With Avaya's bankruptcy filing, product upgrades are being forced. This is an opportunity to migrate to new solutions instead of continuing to invest in a product with an unknown roadmap.
Up-Front Cost
Look for a product that provides Migration Assistance funding that could potentially eliminate the up-front cost of migration. This means you could move to a more stable and innovative contact center with the ability to evolve and provide the best customer experience but minimize the capital impact of migration and likely realize significant cost savings.
Reports
Moving to a new contact center solution can be painful. Your users need familiar reports to ease the pain of transition. Not only will this help you to adapt and adjust to your new system quickly, but you can also more easily quantify the added benefit of the investment.
Integration
Choosing a new solution that can integrate with supporting services, such as CRMs, ERPs, and EMRs, will ease transitional pains. This is also an opportunity to ensure your new solution is more ready and capable of supporting future integrations to facilitate ongoing organizational transformation.
Uncertainty
Avaya's bankruptcy filing has created a lot of uncertainty. Choosing the right solution for your organization can help you elevate your contact center and support your business's needs now and in the future.
