Hi All, I am starting a blog series for C4C and S/4 HANA Utility . Utility industry is huge and it contains many process so in the very first part of this blog I am going to cover only Introduction of C4C utility and Architecture and this blog series I will be covering end to end process related to Integration and Functional scenario as well.
Introduction :
Utilities Industry is committed to excellent customer service that needs a solution that facilitates seamless customer experience.SAP Cloud for Customer Utilities Contact Center for S/4HANA edition helps utility industry to optimize call center operations using modern customer engagement tools for sales and service processes
The contact center capabilities are fully integrated with S/4HANA IS-Utilities (IS-U) and SAP S/4HANA backend and support seamlessly transition between the different support channels. Using this setup, all the utility services performed in this cloud solution are updated correspondingly in the S/4HANA system
C4C utilities delivers a means to interact with customers through multiple mediums. Referred to as omni-channel, it allows for traditional Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) as well as email, text (SMS), and social networks (e.g., Facebook and Twitter). Every interaction via one of these channels is recorded in a ticket.Agents, in turn, can get 360-degree views of their customers, assess account status, and provide pre-determined actions from scripted communication templates. C4C Utility supports Integration with maximum third party solution which may be the part of utility process landscape .
