Press Release

DENVER, July 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- TeleTech Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEC) – "Omnichannel" is here to stay. Customers are comfortable using a variety of digital and physical touchpoints to research products and services, reach out for support, and interact with the companies they choose to do business with. Although companies are investing billions of dollars in omnichannel efforts, customer satisfaction with customer service has slipped to its lowest levels since 2011, according to Dimension Data's 2015 Customer Benchmark Study.

Each quarter, TeleTech publishes its latest thinking in its executive journal, Customer Strategist. It features new ideas, best practices, and real-world examples of customer experience excellence in action.

"In this issue of the Customer Strategist, we explore the latest trends in omnichannel integration and why it is still so hard to deliver on the promise of friction-free customer experience. The technology is there, but so many companies are still struggling with managing data, designing processes, and aligning people," said Keith Gallacher, EVP of Global Markets and Industries, TeleTech.
