Challenges
The client faced several critical challenges with their current on-premises infrastructure:
Support Expiry
Genesys will discontinue on-premises support by 2028, so there was an urgent need to transition to a cloud-based solution
Server Maintenance
The existing infrastructure relied on numerous servers to support internal platforms like “My IT” and “My HR,” creating maintenance inefficiencies and difficulties in troubleshooting virtual agents (VAs)
Outdated Infrastructure
The contact center operated on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7, which had reached its end-of-life (EOL), necessitating manual upgrades to RACK servers
Lack of Social Media Integration
The organization needed to be able to interact with customers via social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, which required additional resources and apps for integration
Benefits
The client successfully migrated critical platforms such as “My IT” and “My HR” to Genesys Cloud, with the transition of their Multipurpose (MP) platform underway. Key benefits of the migration include:
Cost Reduction
Eliminating the maintenance and operational costs associated with outdated on-premises servers and virtual agent troubleshooting resulted in significant savings
Enhanced Customer Experience
The new omnichannel contact center allows for improved customer interactions by integrating voice, chat, email, and social media channels, resulting in more personalized and timely responses
Scalability and Futureproofing
The cloud-based platform offers easy scalability, enabling the company to adopt emerging technologies and expand customer service offerings without complex hardware upgrades
With ACL Digital’s guidance, the company has positioned itself to stay competitive in the fast-evolving e-commerce market by embracing a flexible, scalable, and cost-efficient contact center solution through Genesys Cloud.
