Culture Amp

The dilemma that rapidly expanding businesses encounter when their core business develops faster than their employees can adapt led to the founding of Culture Amp as a consequence of the firsthand experiences of its members with this issue. The CultureAmp team has worked in business companies for many years, so they haven't just taken a stroll in your shoes—they've been sprinting in them. They want to grab the chance for a new kind of technology—one that amplifies learning and advances culture rather than impeding it.

Operata

Operata is a cloud contact center platform for managing the agent and customer experiences. We all adore cloud contact call centers' versatility and strength. However, the advantages create additional complications. Your Agents are now farther away from your customers than ever thanks to technology. and with various network layers, providers, security, software, OS, and other factors. More dependencies, less visibility, and almost no control are present. How do you know what needs work? Operata was created as a result. It is for managers, IT teams supporting them, and contact center employees. Operata gathers high-quality data from each agent for every second of every call, then uses machine learning to continuously analyze it. Smart diagnostics are then used to dynamically move calls, switch channels, or provide agents with in-the-moment solutions, like checking their network connectivity or headset, along with intelligent visuals, reports, notifications, and the data they need to quickly identify and fix problems. It keeps enhancing the standard of living for both your agents and your clients.
