Transcom, a leading global customer service provider, has partnered with Avaya, a global leader in enterprise CX, and Sabio Group to create an award-winning AI-powered, real-time translation solution that can enable contact centre agents from anywhere in the world to converse with customers in over 100 languages.
The solution, underpinned by the Avaya Experience Platform and integrated by Sabio, an expert services partner specialising in CX transformation, represents a significant step forward for the BPO industry, enabling Transcom to recruit agents based on their knowledge, rather than their language skills. This creates new levels of scalability when it comes to building skilled workforces capable of delivering outstanding CX.
"In our industry, it is sometimes challenging to recruit enough agents to support all our global markets. And if we do, its often costly to hire and retain them. Working with Avaya and Sabio, we're empowering agents around the world to offer high-quality customer service in every required language for our clients," said Jakob Westgren, Senior VP - Head of IT Products and Partners, Transcom.
The solution integrates real-time translation and conversational AI tools with an Avaya Experience Platform contact centre core. Speech-to-text and text-to-speech AI technology are paired with multiple translation engines and custom dictionaries to create real-time voice translation, eliminating language barriers between agents and customers.
"The open APIs present in Avaya Experience Platform enabled us to integrate what we call the Transcom Translation framework. This means that, when deployed, the solution is seamlessly integrated into core business, customer experience?,? and operational quality assurance processes. This technology integration, with such an obvious real-world outcome, really becomes a differentiator," said Westgren.
