Next on the horizon is implementing skills-based routing, ensuring all calls are directed automatically to the agent with the right knowledge or experience, a move that will facilitate smoother, speedier case resolution. Klaas van der Leest, managing director of Intelecom UK concluded, “Ombudsman helps to get complaints resolved as quickly as possible with the most appropriate outcome. Therefore, it is imperative for the organisation to have a robust, scalable and flexible communications infrastructure to support its important work.
