This document discusses how contact centers can become customer information hubs by integrating social media and leveraging customer data and knowledge across channels. It highlights some key points:
1) Contact centers are moving from static knowledge management to dynamic knowledge monitoring using social media integration and customer data analysis from multiple sources.
2) Customers now communicate with companies through multiple channels and expect a consistent experience. Contact centers must detect customer context and intentions across channels to shorten resolution times.
3) There are still challenges to achieving the right balance between customer and enterprise metrics when agents have personal experiences and social relationships that impact their work.
