Why Real-Time Automation is the Missing Link to Effective AI

Everyone’s talking about AI—but most aren’t seeing real results. Why? Because without real-time automation, AI is just a promise of new efficiencies and improved experiences that may remain unfulfilled.

In this webinar, you'll learn why automation isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s the critical first step. Real-time automation connects your ACDs, WFM systems, and agents, enabling fast, smart decisions that drive customer satisfaction, agent productivity, and real business impact.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why data alone isn’t enough: Historical insights can’t power real-time decisions.
  • What real-time looks like: See how automation takes immediate action and dynamically adjusts staffing and workloads.
  • How to set the stage for AI: Build the right foundation to get real ROI from your AI investments.

Empowering Supervisors: A New Lens for Workforce Engagement

Supervisors today face persistent challenges in addressing contact center agent burnout and turnover. In today’s remote and hybrid work environments, they often lack the visibility they need to identify and address workforce pain points before they escalate. The result?

But what if you could predict burnout before it happens? Intradiem’s Agent Burnout Indicator solves this problem by using advanced machine learning (ML) and quantitative analytics to predict burnout before it results in attrition. By identifying early warning signs, Agent Burnout Indicator empowers supervisors to make proactive decisions based on data. This fosters a more engaged, more committed, and more productive workforce.

Join us for a 45-minute webinar to hear how Intradiem’s Agent Burnout Indicator enables supervisors to move beyond guesswork and blanket approaches to implement data-driven strategies that protect agent well-being, boost engagement, and drive performance.

Harnessing Intraday Performance Analysis for Real-Time Workforce Optimization. Traditional contact center staffing models often falter under the dynamic demands of modern operations, where intraday variability and unexpected fluctuations challenge even the most precise forecasts. Legacy approaches, such as Erlang-C, tightly plan staffing to predicted demand but fail to account for real-world variability, leaving operations vulnerable to disruptions.

In this webinar, we will explore how modern tools like Python and data notebooks empower workforce management teams to uncover these limitations by analyzing prior-day performance (PDP) data. This analysis reveals the hidden costs of rigid, net-zero staffing models and demonstrates the business case for adopting dynamic, adaptive solutions. By incorporating algorithms like Erlang-O, which account for variability and leverage automation, contact centers can fine-tune staffing plans in real-time to optimize service levels and reduce costs while maintaining flexibility for off-phone activities such as training and coaching.

Key Takeaways:

  • Understand how PDP analysis and modern analytical tools expose the fragility of legacy methods like Erlang-C.
  • Learn strategies for integrating real-time adjustments and employee-focused automation into workforce plans.
  • Evaluate when adaptive approaches, such as Erlang-O, can transform your operations.
