Considering the highly fluid COVID-19 (more commonly known as the Coronavirus) situation, businesses around the world are continuing to grapple with the impact it will have. What many are now learning is that digital has the power to help organizations not only respond quickly, but mitigate risk associated with disruption of normal business operations.
No doubt during this time, your employees are likely your number one asset to your organization. Skilled leadership, key technology investments and well-tested plans are needed to minimize the corporate impacts of the COVID-19 situation. To that end, keeping your employees safe, informed and well-educated is key to reducing the organizational impact of disruptions that may be caused as a result of self-distancing and mass quarantines.
REASONS TO UTILIZE MICROSOFT 365:
- Alleviate the strain on your staff and systems, by taking control of the increased call volumes you are receiving due to fallout from COVID-19.
- Self service capabilities, such as an IVR, are being strained or not as effective as they could be?
- Ease your customers into AI enabled communications, such as chat bots and digital assistants.
- Are your Contact Center systems at or near capacity?
Fortunately, Microsoft 365 provides a suite of tools to maximize employee communication and optimize collaboration in times of crisis. This empowers the entire organization including traditional office-based, first line and remote workers.
