Brands and organizations need to adjust to this need of the customer. There can be all kinds of reasons why residents, citizens or customers have many questions and need contact how they want, and when they want. This means that many customer care centers switch to a customer contact system in which the customer and his or her question comes first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unexus.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/CKC_2021-10-07_019_klein-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8762\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unexus.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/CKC_2021-10-07_019_klein-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.unexus.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/CKC_2021-10-07_019_klein-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.unexus.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/CKC_2021-10-07_019_klein-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.unexus.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/CKC_2021-10-07_019_klein-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.unexus.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/CKC_2021-10-07_019_klein.jpg 1708w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lessons learned<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During the conference, four of our Unexus customers presented how they currently our services and smart integrations for a customer-oriented customer contact system. How to ensure the effectiveness of hybrid working while at the same time creating customer service that is focused around the needs of the customer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tim Spijksma of GGD Brabant Zuid-Oost talked about the changes in their customer care center due to the COVID-19 crisis. Thanks to the recent challenging times, their customer care center has become even more professional and agile. With the Unexus Connect platform and the integrations that have been made, the GGD Brabant Zuid-Oost has been able to make the switch to hybrid and customer-oriented working. We are extremely proud that we contributed to this result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ever reachable, ever available<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, working independently of time and place while also focusing on the needs of the customer is what is hot these days. With the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unexus.nl\/en\/solutions\/all-in-one-communication-solution\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Unexus Connect platform<\/a> there are many possibilities for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the biggest challenge for customer contact centers nowadays?
