What's new in May?

8x8 Contact Center plans on releasing the following features in May.

Introducing 8x8 Supervisor Workspace

8x8 Supervisor Workspace is an all-in-one interface that combines analytics, performance management, and team admin capabilities for contact center leaders. It will bring AI-driven decision intelligence, personalized environments, user-friendly design, and a single pane of glass for essential operational insights. The solution helps Supervisors manage teams and make decisions more efficiently and effectively, saving time and boosting productivity.

This new interface enables supervisors with the ability to manage their agents more efficiently, while providing real-time agent and queue statistics in a user-friendly dashboard. 8x8 Supervisor Workspace provides critical insights into an agent’s performance, and allows supervisors to configure an agent’s queue assignment from this dashboard. Supervisors can also monitor other metrics, such as queue wait times and service levels, to ensure adequate coverage for their 8x8 Contact Center.

The Supervisor Workspace will become available to 8x8 Contact Center customers as part of our open-beta starting in early June. You do not need to do anything at this time to opt in to gain early access. We will be communicating to all 8x8 Contact Center customers with further details as the open-beta period approaches.

Keep web chat session while navigating across webpages

A new set of capabilities released this month prevents a conversation from refreshing when a customer using web chat navigates to different pages on the web site.

This offers continuity in conversation in situations such as the following:

  • Agents can guide customers to different pages in the web site and still keep the web chat conversation ongoing
  • If a customers internet connection drops, they can continue the conversation when it comes back online
  • A customer accidentally closes the browser, when it reopens they can continue the conversation
