Their reasons for wanting a frictionless experience are different, however. Employees want to be as efficient as possible in serving customer needs; customers want access to timely service and issue resolution, on the \u00a0channel of their choice, and not have to repeat information, wait on hold, or be transferred to multiple different agents. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But are the IT teams tasked with architecting this seamless communications experience, aligned with employee and customer expectations? To answer this question, at Enterprise Connect we polled 400 IT professionals to understand their perspective. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation\" title=\"Enterprise Connect 2019: Insights from IT professional on the engagement equation\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rZUYkrGez68?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen sandbox=\"allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We found that 89% of IT believe communications tools are disjointed.
