Whilst half of contact centres are yet to deploy webchat, the majority of the remaining 50% focus a seperate team on the duty.
Although it could be argued that it is more efficient to multi skill advisors, so webchat is less likely to be devalued, only 18% of contact centres do. This is most likely due to the costs involved in multiskilling advisors.
