It's hard to say because most companies are addressing both constituencies with their IT investments. Fortunately, the same themes resonate with agents and customers, such as real-time services and integration of new communication tools like e-mail, chat, and text. And the same technology approaches support those service enhancements. I expect to see a continued shift toward well-guided self service, where agents and customers can do many things comfortably on their own, with clearly marked off-ramps where they can engage with service staff as needed. The desired goal is a combination of reduced costs and the perception of service improvements.
