Dialpad recently revealed an innovative tool referred to as 'Custom Ai Playbooks.' This tool is designed to offer real-time guidance to sales and customer service teams, assisting them during and after customer calls. Alongside this guidance, the solution incorporates AI-generated summarisation and analytics aimed at enhancing efficiency, productivity, and adherence to best practices to meet key KPIs. Custom Ai Playbooks leverage a vast pool of proprietary data, encompassing more than five billion minutes of call recordings, in addition to Dialpad's cutting-edge real-time speech recognition and generative AI capabilities. Dan O’Connell, who serves as the Chief AI & Strategy Officer at Dialpad, expressed his enthusiasm for the launch of this new AI tool, describing it as a significant step forward in the realm of practical AI. O'Connell elaborated, It’s Dialpad’s version of an AI Copilot, a conversational interface built specifically to support users with rapid decision-making. With tailored recommendations, leaders can curate sales, customer service, and recruiting processes specific to their company and customer needs. Dialpad has long been committed to democratising AI, and the introduction of Custom Ai Playbooks represents a milestone in making AI accessible to a broader audience. This AI solution is entering the market at an opportune time, as companies increasingly seek to harness the power of AI to enhance their revenue, even during challenging economic conditions. Custom Ai Playbooks can contribute to revenue growth by offering a structured framework and real-time guidance, enabling managers to make informed business decisions and identify coaching opportunities. These opportunities are identified by capturing agent and customer responses in each call, thereby enhancing agent performance and providing post-call analytics. Dialpad highlights five key benefits of Custom Ai Playbooks: Time-saving: Sales managers and supervisors can efficiently track and train representatives in real-time, allowing them to focus on other tasks and identify areas for improvement in agent skills. Reduced ramp-up time and coaching challenges: The consistent methodology and customer calling expectations streamline training and coaching efforts. Enhanced sales coaching opportunities: The solution identifies agents and reps in need of coaching, pinpointing specific aspects of their methodology that require improvement, leading to more effective conversations between managers and their teams. Improved sales rep and agent efficiency: Customised questions tailored to different stages of the sales process lead to more efficient interactions, ultimately boosting the customer pipeline and deal closures. Customisation: Custom Ai Playbooks cater to the unique needs of businesses by offering customisable playbook templates and the flexibility to add new methodologies aligned with their KPIs. Custom Ai Playbooks represents Dialpad's seventh AI product as part of its '12 Months of AI' product series, an initiative launched in April. Since its inception, this initiative has achieved record ARR growth, secured a £50 million investment in AI research and development, and introduced a series of AI products, including Ai Recap, Ai Scorecards, Ai Playbooks, Ai Coaching Hub, PII Redaction, and DialpadGPT. Earlier this month, Dialpad unveiled its latest generative AI innovations, including an auto-summarisation feature, expanded Auto-QA functionality, a new Generative AI feature within Dialpad’s Coaching Hub, along with its Ai Playbooks tool.

UCaaS Integrations Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) providers typically offer a range of communication and collaboration tools, including voice, video, messaging, and conferencing. Microsoft Teams can integrate with UCaaS platforms to enhance its telephony and voice capabilities. Here's how this integration works: - Calling Plans: Microsoft Teams can be used as a full-fledged phone system by integrating with UCaaS providers' calling plans. This allows users to make and receive calls, manage voicemail, and set up call routing within Teams. - Direct Routing: Organizations can use Direct Routing to connect Microsoft Teams to their preferred telephony providers. This integration allows for seamless PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) connectivity within Teams. - Voice Features: UCaaS integration enhances Teams with features like call recording, interactive voice response (IVR), call analytics, and call center functionality. - Single Interface: Users can access both UCaaS and Teams features within a single interface, streamlining communication and collaboration. 2. CCaaS Integrations Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) providers offer solutions for managing customer interactions and support. Integrating CCaaS with Teams can help organizations improve customer service and engagement. Here's how this integration works: - Omnichannel Communication: CCaaS integration allows customer support agents to handle customer inquiries via various channels, including voice, chat, email, and social media, all within the Teams interface. - Routing and Queues: Teams can be integrated with CCaaS routing and queuing systems to efficiently manage incoming customer requests and distribute them to available agents. - Access to Customer Data:Agents can access relevant customer data and information from CRM systems and databases directly within Teams, providing a more personalized customer experience. - Reporting and Analytics: CCaaS integrations provide insights and analytics on customer interactions, allowing organizations to make data-driven decisions. - Workflow Automation: Automate processes and workflows by integrating CCaaS and Teams, improving efficiency and reducing response times. - Scalability: Organizations can scale their customer support operations seamlessly by adding or removing agents as needed.

Your World Recruitment, a global staffing organisation providing careers to experienced healthcare professionals worldwide, is set to better address the global healthcare staffing shortage with an all-new UCaaS solution provided by Avaya (NYSE: AVYA). Healthcare systems around the world face pressure from the pandemic and urgently need personnel to fill gaps in all areas, such as administering vaccines, helping with unexpected peaks in demand and provisioning services. As a result, specialist healthcare recruitment services like Your World Recruitment are working hard to support the front lines with a reliable supply of new talent. To aid the recovery of the global healthcare staff supply chain, Your Word Recruitment is rolling out Avaya Cloud Office™ by RingCentral®, an agile, flexible and scalable communications solution delivered by Fortay Connect, an Avaya ecosystem partner and expert in customer experience and unified communications. The solution is set to support both the immediate needs and long-term growth of Your Word Recruitment. “As a business, we need to ensure that our recruiters can do their job properly, which means dialling speed, call reliability and remote capability,” said Simon Knox, IT Director, Your World Recruitment. Avaya Cloud Office was selected for its ability to deliver a flawless real-time telephony experience for recruiters and candidates from anywhere in the world, as well as support future expansion. The 280-user, all-in-one cloud communication solution is scheduled to go live by the end of 2021. The global nature of the business was also a key factor in the selection of Avaya Cloud Office. Addressing a global healthcare talent pool with a globally dispersed workforce of recruiters, Your World Recruitment delivers its IT services over VDI to support the secure delivery of apps and desktops. This means that real time communications must also work in the VDI environment. “We wanted softphones for easier homeworking and COVID stay-at-home rules accelerated this move, but our first cloud communications partner, couldn’t support telephony seamlessly within our VDI and its desktop and mobile app required different profiles,” explained Knox. “The issue was that there was a delay – and in recruitment any kind of a delay is too long. Avaya Cloud Office works and does what we need it to do, which is to integrate seamlessly with our VDI environment so that our real time telephony is a seamless and effortless experience for our recruiters. It was also commercially more attractive for us. Steve Joyner, Vice President – UK & Ireland, Avaya, added, “The employee experience is just as vital as the customer experience. In the healthcare industry, both are under pressure right now and so, more than ever, communications experiences need to be effortless. This means being unaware of the layers of technology integration that might be going on behind the scenes so everyone can get on with doing their job well. Avaya customers are empowered to provide their employees with everything they want before they ask for it and before they even know they need it as that is the basis for the great customer engagement and the best experiences.” About Avaya Businesses are built by the experiences they provide, and everyday millions of those experiences are delivered by Avaya Holdings Corp. (NYSE: AVYA). Avaya is shaping what's next for the future of work, with innovation and partnerships that deliver game-changing business benefits. Our cloud communications solutions and multi-cloud application ecosystem power personalized, intelligent, and effortless customer and employee experiences to help achieve strategic ambitions and desired outcomes.
