Workflow Automation = Customer Engagement

Ribbon Connect Enables Digital Workflows

Businesses expect to “Google it”, find a solution, acquire it, and begin deployment. They’re not interested in auto attendants, contact center agents, and phone calls that span multiple days or weeks.

Operator Connect uses the Teams Admin Center to make it easy for businesses to find a service provider. Ribbon Connect extends that digital engagement model with digital forms, automated responses, and intuitive workflows so prospects are immediately engaged and routed to the right sales team.

You Have to Be “In It to Win It”

 

Most geographies already have one or two providers signed up to deliver Operator Connect-based services. Providers need to act expeditiously to protect their brand. Otherwise, enterprise IT staff may simply “shop” the available telecom providers in the Teams admin center to get PSTN services – leaving other service providers out of the picture.
