• Agent experience (AX): Reduce call volume by deflecting routine queries to virtual assistance, escalate conversations to agent assistance with full context, where needed, and guide agents through conversations, with eGain knowledge and AI reasoning.
• Business Experience (BX): Leverage eGain’s composable platform and open architecture to securely scale its customer service operation, while integrating with its Avaya telephony environment and other contact center applications. Eliminate silos and consolidate content and process knowhow in a single hub of trusted, omnichannel knowledge.
