Customers demand personalized service. With margins thinner than ever, how can you provide it in a cost-effective way? The answer is ‘Chat.’
Not chat as in people milling about the water cooler. But Live Chat, the newest customer service channel, whose use 
has doubled in the past few years and whose customer satisfaction score is the highest of all online channels.
Chat sessions enable customer service agents to provide real-time, personalized answers to several customers at once, increasing contact center responsiveness and efficiency while decreasing costs. Here are some results from Oracle RightNow Chat customers:
