Why Home Agents and Why Now?

A remote agent strategy make sense everyday as well as for service continuity

The concept of home agents is not new, but it's been gaining a lot of attention lately for good reasons. Whether part of your day-to-day customer service operations or for emergency business continuity situations, the capability to easily and rapidly deploy agents in a work-from-home environment should be part of your strategy.

Even if you've previously dismissed a remote agent model, as many converts did before 2020, maybe it's time to look again. You’ll find many benefits beyond the obvious, and it's easier than you think to ensure you never leave your customers hanging.

Virtual Customer Service

Glia's secure and scalable, customer service solution supports interactions from home—or any remote location—without the need for special equipment or VPN connections

Glia's cloud-based Digital Customer Service platform enables enterprises to situate representatives in office, branches, call centers, or their home living room—with the same capabilities regardless of location—as part of a large virtual contact center that answers the two important questions:

1 - How to ensure agents can work from anywhere effectively?

2 - How to provide the best support for customers in the digital world?

Enabling Home Agents Is Easier Than You Think

On one day’s notice, a Glia client supporting 2,000 Financial Advisors enabled everyone to work from home.

In 24 hours, a new Glia banking client was able to get a digital-first call center up and running from scratch.

In less than 48 hours, a $4B Insurer empowered 250 service center agents to work from home without interruption by forwarding calls from their on-premise phone system to Glia, enabling all agents to fully serve customers via Phone, Chat, Digital Voice and Video, plus CoBrowsing.
