As omnichannel solutions become increasingly essential to success in the customer experience landscape, video is becoming one of the most sought-after tools for engagement. Offering a greater level of context in any conversation, video empowers companies to connect with their customers on a deeper level for every stage of the customer journey.
Bringing video into the CX landscape allows companies to strengthen self-service opportunities for clients with video-enhanced webinars and help desks. You can use video as part of the client onboarding experience to boost customer success or simply use video conferencing to help agents understand customer issues at speed.
The question is, which vendors are most equipped to help companies engage customers with video? Here are some of the most innovative vendors to watch in 2022.
Zoom
Perhaps the biggest name in the video-first landscape, Zoom, has changed how countless people look at meetings and communication over the last couple of years. Although Zoom offers a powerful environment for team interaction and collaboration, it’s also rapidly becoming a valuable vendor for the CX landscape too.
Zoom announced its innovative “Video Engagement Center” in 2021, designed to help companies engage customers with video in a way that helps to enhance loyalty and trust. The solution offers the same cloud-first scalability companies already love from Zoom, as well as leading security, a powerful range of innovative features, and the simplicity today’s teams need.
