Contact centres have been investing in sophisticated, omnichannel technologies for well over a decade. The shift to the cloud has also been happening over time and accelerated significantly in early 2020. Calabrio’s own research found that 90% of contact centres said they were aggressively investing in new channels, automation and analytics tools — while 68% of cloud migrations happened in 2020.
