Engage on their Digital turf

Students tend to be ‘digital natives’ so engaging with them on channels such as video, email, SMS, webchat, social and messaging platforms, like WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter, is both effective and highly efficient. Layering self service options such as IVR and chatbot brings additional cost savings.

Cirrus seamlessly blends automation and human interaction, gathering all communications across any channel in a single view. With full history and contact information at their fingertips, agents can understand and respond quickly to enquires, making the process more productive and a better experience.

Even better, our solution is truly modular, so you can take the channels you need when you need them.

Got Teams?

Cirrus integrates with any unified communications solution, and Microsoft Teams is no exception. As a native application within Teams, Cirrus provides a solution that communicates with all your digital channels within a familiar environment.

Why? Well, not only can you utilise your investment in Teams, but agents have a single screen for both their contact centre work and collaboration with subject experts. Chat, screen-share, video and effortless transfer of calls across departments eliminates lost time jumping between apps and improves first contact resolution.

“Cirrus have worked with us over the last two years to improve and refine our operations and to help build our knowledge of the system. Their collaborative approach has enabled us to respond quickly and efficiently to changing requirements, and to implement the changes needed to support our objectives. This partnership has been influential in enhancing our capabilities, particularly during the critical period of university Clearing - thanks to Cirrus, we have now navigated two successful Clearing periods with confidence and have seen significant improvements in response times and overall customer experience. The relationship with Cirrus has been essential to our continuous improvement, enabling us to meet our immediate objectives and set a strong foundation for future success ”
