Contact center interaction analytics - Optimize Your CX

NICE Interaction Analytics makes it possible for businesses to better understand their customers, why they are contacting you, and to identify business trends and make informed data-driven decisions. By analyzing data from every type of customer interaction, businesses can deliver consistently smooth and personalized customer experiences, increase customer satisfaction, enhance agent performance, and improve operational effectiveness.

Using NICE’s proprietary, industry specific, purpose-built CX AI models and generative AI technology, Interaction Analytics measures and gathers insights on customer sentiment, identifies churn risk, and unknown product, process or skill issues that were otherwise previously unknown.

Interaction Analytics helps drive CX improvement across every customer touchpoint while also improving agent performance and reducing the cost to serve. The solution provides a single interface for organizing, analyzing, and operationalizing data from multiple interaction channels, creating a unified view of the customer journey.

NICE Interaction Analytics applies the power of data analysis across every type of customer interaction from voice to text to digital, including social. Today’s customers expect to be able to engage with brands on any channel, at any time. Interaction analytics makes it possible to do this by applying advanced analysis such as automatic speech recognition (ASR), natural language processing (NLP), machine learning (ML), transcription, sentiment analysis, and industry-specific algorithms to every customer interaction across any channel of preference.

Interaction Analytics captures all of the data most relevant to creating optimal customer experiences by measuring agent performance, customer sentiment, and monitoring the entire customer journey.

Interaction Analytics infuses NICE’s purpose-built CX AI models, such as Enlighten AI for Customer Satisfaction, which analyzes agent soft skill behaviors proven to influence positive sentiment. The agent soft skills, such as showing empathy, acknowledging loyalty, demonstrating ownership, asking effective questions, and others can be aggregated by agent, team, location and correlated with other KPIs.

Users can filter, analyze, and correlate data by metrics including everything from timeline (day/time of interaction); agent team; likelihood to buy, sentiment, etc. Some of the pre-built Interaction Analytics metrics include the following:

• First Call Resolution assesses whether or not the customer interaction was successful in providing a solution during the first customer contact, thereby reducing the need for repeat calls or further follow-up.
• Frustration gauges if the customer expressed frustration through specific phrases and keywords.
• Silence measures the duration of non-engagement between the customer and the agent.
• Sentiment evaluates how positive or negative an interaction was, for both the agent and the customer.

Finally, AutoDiscovery, a feature within Interaction Analytics, provides another way to view metrics, by identifying and categorizing clusters of unknown topics and displaying their relationship within a given set of interactions.

Interaction Analytics offers a unified view of your CX data, all in one customizable user-friendly dashboard. Users are able to apply various widgets and filters to access Interaction metrics and find relationships within the data. For example, the intent analysis widget allows users to view metrics associated with the intents of calls, such as Total Interactions, Average Duration, Average Silence, Total Interactions %, Positive Client Sentiment, Negative Client Sentiment, Outcomes, etc.

CXone IA Advanced users have the ability to also analyze and filter by Intents, Actions, and Outcomes, and then correlate those results with CSAT, handle time, or specific behaviors.

These metrics can be highly relevant to your business and overall level of CX. For instance, certain types of interactions might naturally involve prolonged periods of silence, or specific language used in calls might be more indicative of successful resolutions than currently recognized. Consider the important metrics in your business and how these new metrics align or contrast with them. Best practice out-of-the-box templates can help you get started and it is possible to fine-tune it to suit your specific business needs.

Combining the latest generative AI LLM (Large Language Models) technologies with industry-specific Enlighten models, Interaction Analytics makes it possible to analyze more data at scale and provide richer analysis of the overall customer experience.

Enlighten AI Intent and Activity Ontology Models are pre-built, out-of-the-box AI models, that are part of Interaction Analytics Advanced. They include thousands of models that analyze every interaction for intents, actions and outcomes and then categorize the data into topics. Models that automatically categorize interactions provide higher quality and faster time to insights for CX and reduce what was previously a manual effort.

User-friendly visual reporting and role-based, customizable dashboards are available offering a unified view of key business metrics from executives to managers to front line agents. Easily configure analytics dashboard widgets and filters to gain continuous insights by individual interactions, specific dates, and/or time frames, or at the individual agent level.

With an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, you can select from a wide range of metrics and attributes to display. These dashboards provide a comprehensive view of your contact center, enabling the right people to take timely action.

Key features include:

• Tracking key metrics across voice and digital channels for an omnichannel perspective of your operations.
• Providing real-time information and analysis for a quick response to CX needs or issues.
