Xurrent Includes Amazon Chime for Remote Teams
Amazon Chime, a communications service from Amazon Web Services (AWS), is now available in the Xurrent service to make it easier for support specialists working from home to collaborate with their colleagues. This makes it possible for specialists who are working on a request or task, to quickly start a video call with another member of their team without first having to leave Xurrent.
Specialists who are working from home because of the COVID-19 pandemic can make use of this new capability to collaborate more seamlessly with their colleagues. Because they can also share their screens during a video call, they can quickly show what they need help with, or how a specific case can be resolved.
This new capability within the Xurrent service is called Xurrent Connect. It is available for all Xurrent customers on the Xurrent Premium pricing plan. There are no additional charges and no effort is required from customers to activate Xurrent Connect.
Xurrent Connect also makes it possible for specialists to chat with each other during video calls, which can be especially useful for sharing hyperlinks to specific Xurrent requests, problems, changes or projects.
Even though all our support specialists already had access to other collaboration tools, having this capability within the Xurrent service is really helpful. For example, when our service desk adds information to a request, and the specialist who picks up the request has a question, this specialist can see in the request that the analyst who added the information is currently available in Xurrent and can call this person without leaving the request. This increases our efficiency and reduces the time to resolution for our customers.
