In order to deliver its differentiated, boutique level of customer care services, the team at ResultsCX has had to navigate some challenges in recent years that teams in many organizations can relate to. The organization relies extensively and constantly on its network connections—and outages and poor performance can be a big problem. This post offers an introduction to the challenges the company was facing, and it reveals how AppNeta by Broadcom delivered the solution they needed.
Like those in a lot of enterprises in recent years, the workforce at ResultsCX has become increasingly reliant upon work-from-home and hybrid-work models. The organization has grown to include more than 21,000 team members, 8,000 of which are now remote or hybrid workers.
Along the way, their reliance on cloud services and disparate third-party networks has also increased substantially. Again, their experience may be sounding familiar to many readers. Finally, their network operations teams were relying on legacy tools and approaches that weren’t well suited to these new hybrid-work, multi-cloud, and multi-vendor environments.
These approaches are largely focused on passive data collection and on internally managed infrastructure, which means they leave massive visibility gaps in today’s modern environments. Here again, the team at ResultsCX isn’t alone: One survey found that 91% of network teams are using existing tools for cloud observability—and only 18% say their tools are effective.
Like other digital enterprises, ResultsCX relies extensively and continuously on its network connections. In fact, given the nature of their services and offerings, the demands for responsive, always-on network connections is even more pronounced for ResultsCX.
The company works with Fortune 500 customers in several industries, including retail and healthcare. The organization delivers a range of services and offerings, including contact center services, analytics, process automation, and a SaaS offering called SupportPredict. Further, it delivers these services on a massive scale: Over a given year, the organization may field 80 million calls, support 39 million self-service engagements, and five million automated chats.
The organization focuses on delivering a boutique level of service. Clients count on ResultsCX representatives to interact with their users and customers, fielding questions and offering support.
Given the nature of these services, it is vital to ensure the quality of network connections and data and voice traffic. For example, when ResultsCX agents are working on behalf of healthcare clients, they can’t afford to be forced to explain that they can’t access a patient’s prescription information because their connection is down. Even slight performance blips can have a negative impact on the user experience and, ultimately, customer satisfaction and loyalty. Further, the company charges on a per-interaction basis, so, when issues arise, there’s a clear cause and effect: downtime equals lost revenue.
To deliver the optimized contact center services customers require, and gain the end-to-end visibility their network operations team needed, the company elected to deploy AppNeta by Broadcom.
They’ve been able to rely on the solution’s active synthetic monitoring to gain improved observability. AppNeta delivers these key features:
