BT and Five9 Join Forces to Revolutionize Contact Center Management

BT and Five9 have announced the expansion of their partnership, providing contact center solutions and services to global organizations.

The Five9 Intelligent CX Platform will be offered as a managed service to existing and new BT (News - Alert) customers, helping them achieve full digitalization of their workplace. The integration of the Five9 Intelligent CX Platform with BT's secure, reliable Global Managed Voice platform will enable customers to enjoy an end-to-end managed service and cloud migration expertise while accessing BT's vast experience and capabilities in managing complex technology environments.

BT customers can choose from a range of Five9 (News - Alert) options that include digital engagement channels, workflow automation and optimization, analytics, and practical AI. Additionally, Five9 offers pre-built call center integrations with Salesforce, Oracle (News - Alert), Microsoft, ServiceNow, and Zendesk, among other leading CRM solutions.

Five9's AI and automation solutions, including the Intelligent Virtual Agent (IVA), which is embedded in the platform, will also be accessible to BT customers. The solutions can help automate processes and manage routine calls while automatically providing agents with caller details to enhance efficiency.

The expanded partnership builds on an existing agreement between BT and Five9. Five9 named BT its strategic carrier for voice and network services globally in November. This move enabled Five9 to expand into new markets and offer its global customers an enhanced call quality service.

"Our Five9 partnership offers BT customers a secure and future-proof route to migrate their contact center into the cloud. BT and Five9 combined expertise will help customers manage the transition seamlessly and enjoy the full benefits of a managed CCaaS service," said Andrew Small, BT's Managing Director of Global Portfolio, Business.
