Webcast to address tech support opportunities through automated cognitive and intelligent technologies and automated connected devices

Parks Associates research finds most smart home owners set up their devices on their own and more than 50% of these consumers report setup problems. These issues have not translated into greater adoption of tech support services—one-fifth of U.S. broadband households have a subscription. The research firm will examine opportunities to improve tech support services using cognitive and intelligent technologies and automation in the webcast “Cognitive Support Solutions: Delivering the Best Connected Experience” on Tuesday, November 13, 11 a.m. CT.

The webcast, sponsored by CSS Corp, presents strategies for tech support providers to automate support processes while still delivering personalized and valuable user experiences.

“In today’s connected household, support services must expand to offer comprehensive protection for the whole home network, with knowledge of all connected devices, their capabilities, and how they interact with each other,” said Patrice Samuels, Senior Analyst, Parks Associates. “This service creates multiple support challenges, so cost control is another obstacle. AI and other adaptive tech innovations can help companies develop a service that is cost-effective yet still deliver positive user experiences.”

“The power of information and choice that today's consumers enjoy make them more aware and in control of what they want than ever before,” said Sid Victor, Vice President & Head of Customer eXperience Services, CSS Corp. “This paradigm shift has made customer experience (CX) the new differentiator as empowered customers are calling the shots. At CSS Corp, we’ve taken an experience-first approach to orchestrating our customers’ digital journeys. Our unique point-of-view from being the perfect intersection of a customer experience practitioner and digital Services provider gives us an unprecedented edge in crafting the ideal digital journey for our customers. CSS Corp’s offers modular, context-aware, and outcome-based cognitive automation models to create hyper-personalized customer experiences."

During the webcast, Samuels and Victor will share insights on:

• Consumer expectations for support
• Automation built on intelligent devices that deliver personalized connected experiences to consumers
• The impact of support on customer experience and actions
• Outcome-based automation services and their impact on business outcomes

“Connected devices are taking a more central role in a variety of contexts,” Samuels said. “Use cases extend from entertainment to health and home security, and automated solutions with the proper intelligence can deliver convenience and personalization to the consumer through multiple support scenarios.”
