Ozonetel, a leading omnichannel and AI-powered customer experience (CX) platform provider, conducted a comprehensive study, The State of Contact Center Report, that unveils compelling insights into customer experience and contact center performance across industry verticals.

The study is an analysis of a sample of 10 million calls made on Ozonetel’s CCaaS (Contact Center as a Service) platform by hundreds of thousands of agents across diverse industries like e-commerce, healthcare, education, insurance, fintech & NBFC, banking, real estate, and logistics.

Customer Experience in 2023: Key Data Findings

• Customer engagement has improved, with a 41% reduction in abandonment rates
• Agents answered calls 10% faster, on average, than last year
• Customers were 15% more likely to answer calls from a business this year, than last year
• Agents are, on average, 20% more efficient in handling inbound conversations

After comparing performance trends over the past five years, the report highlights significant improvements in five key areas:

1. Decreased Abandon Rates Reflect Higher CX Standards. ‘Abandon Rate’ tells us how many calls went unanswered by agents because callers disconnected while in the call queue. For the first time, after four years of continual decline, abandon rates have significantly improved this year. On an average, in 2023, only 20% of calls were disconnected by callers when in queue, compared to 34% in 2022.

INSIGHT: Being available for customers when it matters the most is a key business objective for contact centers and a critical CX metric for reducing customer churn and building loyalty. Historically, businesses have struggled to achieve this goal. But this year, many contact centers implemented intelligent automation and call routing to improve agent availability, helping businesses prioritize customer calls and subsequently reduce abandon rates.

This positive change also reflects an evolving customer experience landscape where voice interactions are reserved for more complex inquiries and escalations. In today’s world, customers tend to call only when they have a pressing need to speak with an agent, as there are many other channels available for contacting businesses. Businesses are turning to chat and WhatsApp for simpler interactions, responding to customers’ desire for a seamless omnichannel experience.

2. Intelligent Automation Reduces Pickup Time. ‘Average Agent Speed of Answer’ or ‘Pickup Time’ is the average time a contact center agent takes to answer inbound calls. This includes the duration for which the agent’s phone rings but does not include the time the caller spends in the IVR or waiting in a call queue. This metric has reduced to 6.9 seconds in 2023 from 7.7 seconds in 2022.

INSIGHT: With a relaxation in DOT and TRAI regulations, more companies have implemented ‘webrtc’ calling and an auto answer feature which has led to improvement in pickup times. With this feature, calls automatically get connected to available agents without any downtime. This shift prioritizes efficiency and prompt customer service, acknowledging the value of customers’ time.

3. AI-Enabled Conversational Intelligence for Agents Reduces Talk Time: ‘Average Talk Time’ indicates the time an agent spends talking to a caller. In 2023, this metric reduced to 2.64 minutes compared to 3.7 minutes in 2022, a significant improvement since 2019 (4.3 minutes).

INSIGHT: This shift is driven by the implementation of features such as smart agent assistance and deep CRM integrations. The study notes that smart suggestions and secure access to relevant customer data have helped agents resolve queries faster, leading to more effective and satisfying conversations.

4. Automated Call Dispositions Reduce Wrap Time: ‘Wrap Time’ (After Call Work) is the time used by the agent following the end of a call to complete any administrative tasks like updating notes about the conversation, process orders, etc. This year, wrap times reduced to 43.6 seconds from 47.4 seconds in 2022.

INSIGHT: With AI providing automated call transcripts and insights, businesses are increasingly automating after call work leading to a significant increase in agent efficiency and availability.

5. Improved Connection Rates Indicate Higher Customer Engagement: In outbound calling, a lot of calls dial to busy lines, or go unanswered. ‘Average Contact Rates’ inform us how many calls are answered by contacts. This metric saw a drastic uptick this year, i.e., 45% as compared to 39% in 2022.

INSIGHT: This improvement reflects a larger trend where contact centers play a new role, strategically interacting with customers at key points in their journey and driving business growth. This approach is highly effective in sectors like banking, healthtech, diagnostics, and online pharma firms where higher contact rates indicate that customers are receptive to calls from their dedicated relationship managers or service providers.

In response, a growing number of companies are now embracing verified business IDs using Truecaller Integrations or WhatsApp Business Accounts. Strategically orchestrated, automated outbound calls from a familiar business number reduce cart abandonment, improve collections, encourage reorders, and increase customer lifetime value.

In the current landscape of technological prowess, businesses are rapidly moving to the cloud. NetApp’s latest Data Complexity Report reveals that 98% of global organisations are on this journey. Interestingly, three out of four still depend on on-premises storage, emphasising the ongoing importance of in-house infrastructure. This data emphasises the need for a unified approach to hybrid multicloud architectures in 2024 and beyond. Such an approach seamlessly combines on-premises all-flash storage with public cloud solutions, ensuring top-notch performance and accessibility.

As the industry continues to move towards widespread adoption of AI at scale, 2024 is poised to see unified data storage solutions take centre stage, and here’s why:

Cloud Adoption: Businesses today have a unique opportunity to strategically align their IT infrastructure with the evolving needs of an increasingly digital and interconnected world. In the near future, this alignment will enable agility and scalability for future growth and innovation. However, it’s important to note that cloud migration is not a linear process. Among tech executives planning to migrate workloads to the cloud, three out of four still retain the majority of their workloads on-premises. More precisely, 84% of the organisations are either in the mid journey or in the mature phase.

The pivotal force propelling cloud migration is the widespread embrace of AI, as evidenced by our findings, where a substantial 74% of respondents leverage public cloud services for AI and analytics. Tech executives across the globe resoundingly articulate the essentiality of Flash innovation in optimizing AI performance, cost, and efficiency, with a notable 39% acknowledging its crucial role.

Enterprises are progressively integrating AI into their frameworks, with a significant emphasis on harnessing generative AI and tapping into public cloud AI and analytics services. As AI becomes more ingrained in infrastructure, IT leaders advocate for augmented funding, with 63% of AI budgets stemming from new funding sources. The anticipation is palpable, with leaders expecting to forge alliances with new vendors to navigate the expanding influence of AI within their organisational framework.

Data Security & Protection: In the era of AI, security threats are a major concern for C-level executives and IT decision makers in India. A majority of Indian IT leaders see data security as the primary challenge for realising AI’s potential, with security threats ranking as the leading cause of complexity in storage infrastructure. NetApp’s report underscores the critical role of AI in safeguarding against cyber threats. Moreover, executives consider ransomware attack mitigation as a top priority, emphasising the indispensable nature of AI in addressing these challenges. Notably, companies anticipate it would take days or weeks to recover from cyberattacks, underscoring the significant risk posed to their business and reinforcing the crucial role of AI in fortifying cybersecurity measures.

Sustainability: A growing number of Indian organisations now view mitigating environmental impact not only as an option but as an essential aspect of their sustainability efforts. This commitment extends to flash storage innovation, where prioritising energy and carbon footprint metrics is deemed crucial for future sustainability. The Data Complexity Report underlines the significance of sustainability as a critical factor in choosing storage vendors, with a notable percentage recognising the reduction of energy and carbon footprint as integral to responsible AI practices. Moreover, a substantial majority agrees that reducing their company’s carbon footprint is a vital aspect of broader sustainability initiatives. This underscores the imperative for forward-thinking organisations to align AI advancement with environmental responsibility in navigating the rapidly evolving technological landscape.

The Cloud-Driven Flash Storage revolution

Looking ahead, cloud-enabled flash storage will reshape technological innovation and business operations. As organisations tackle data complexity, integrating this technology will be crucial for agility, scalability, and efficiency in handling AI-driven workloads. Leveraging this transformative tech will help businesses adapt to digital demands, fostering streamlined operations, better performance, and accelerated innovation for success in the global market.

Nephrocare India proudly completes two years of its thriving existence today. Regular 30 minutes of brisk walking keeps the kidneys healthy and keeping this in mind we organized ‘A walk for your kidney’ – A walkathon which was arranged with about 400 participants along with celebrities who matched their steps to spread the idea of this healthy practice. The walk started from Nephrocare and ended at Hotel Golden Tulip. The event was followed by tea and a message from beloved director, Dr. Pratim Sengupta. The event was attended by several eminent personalities: Dr. Pratim Sengupta, Founder & Director of Nephro Care; Nandita Roy, Film Maker; Shiboprosad Mukherjee, Director; Dr Tirthankar Bagchi, CEO OF ILS Group of Hospital; Debasish Dutta, Secretary Mohan Bagan Club; Ashish Mittal, Director, Golden Tulip Hotel and many other eminent personalities. The event was managed by Map5 Events.

Speaking to the media, Nephrologist, Dr. Pratim Sengupta, Founder & Director of Nephro Care said, “Today is our second anniversary, we have completed two successful years working towards prevention of kidney disease and its treatment. When a person counters metabolic disorders then the treatment takes a lot of time, effort and money. For a country like India, which is resource-constrained, prevention is better than cure works best and that is the mantra for us at Nephrocare. Lifestyle disease is one of the biggest causes of several health issues and it can only be cured or reverted by lifestyle changes. We, at Nephrocare, firmly believe 30 minutes of brisk walking everyday can solve a lot of our health problems. Today on this second anniversary of Nephrocare India, we want to highlight our commitment towards ensuring kidney health by expanding our presence across the country and setting up 300 comprehensive and holistic kidney care units to touch close to one million lives in the coming years.”

Nephrocare treats patients in a unique way, and its mission is to provide comprehensive and compassionate care at affordable cost. All diagnosis and treatment decisions are based on pathology and laboratory reporting added with much logical inference, considering the human body with all its functionality in linear understandable fashion as everyone has their own challenges. Every being has a Physical Body coupled with a Mental Body & Spiritual Body with an infinite Energy Body. Our laboratory investigation gives us information about our physical ailments, but a significant component of any diseased state exists in other three forms of our existence. Reaching that domain is often neglected or mostly overlooked sticking to textbook definition of treatments.

“At Nephro Care India we analyze all these aspects of the disease scientifically and provide a holistic medical care to the patient. For whosoever visiting Nephro Care India, it’s our policy that all doctors and caregivers treat individuals as a family member and do all that they would for someone they love with all their heart.”

The advanced renal care institute, which was founded by the renowned nephrologist, Bharat Jyoti Awardee, Dr Pratim Sengupta, also launched a Mascot – “Mr Nephrocare” on the occasion, to create a connect with common people and spread awareness about various aspects of kidney health, the need to focus on kidney care, the importance of undertaking routine tests for early detection of anomalies and going in for holistic treatment to address any issues pertaining to the kidney. The Mascot visited various key places in the city and outskirts during the course of the day to spread awareness around kidney health.

Nephrocare: A comprehensive and compassionate kidney care Institute: Nephro Care India Pvt. Ltd is one of the most esteemed health care institutions focused on caring for the most intensive kidney disease patients, had been established in the month of December 2021, by eminent and noteworthy Nephrologist Dr. Pratim Sengupta.

Kidney disease: A silent epidemic: Kidney disease is a silent epidemic and India is contributing the highest numbers of renal failure patients in the world. 1 out of 11 Indians may be a victim of renal failure. Diabetes and hypertension are the leading cause of renal failure. 30 % of patients suffering from diabetes will develop chronic renal failure in later phase of their life. Pain killer abuse is the 3^rd most important cause of renal failure in India. The disease is silent in its initial stages but symptoms surfaces only when 70% of kidney function is compromised. More than 2 lakh people add to the list of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) every year, requiring dialysis support to sustain life. There are limited resources available to combat such huge number of renal failure cases annually. It is estimated that for roughly every 72,000 renal failure patient there is one specialized doctor to serve them which is literally impossible. Renal transplantation unit and dialysis centers are also not surplus to handle the situation. Prevention, early detection, and the creation of comprehensive renal care facilities across India are the only effective ways to combat this silent epidemic where NephroCare aim daily to set its mark one day at a time.
