AI & Automation Smart Guide

PCI DSS compliance blog

“PCI DSS v4.0 was released in Spring 2022. As a result, organisations managing environments within its scope must prepare for significant changes to the PCI Data Security Standard (DSS) over the next 18 months. I’d like to recommend PCI Pal’s recent blog, which explains why descoping your infrastructure from the requirements of PCI DSS is one of the most effective ways to protect your customers’ data and your organisation’s reputation.”

Superforecasting: The Art and Science of Prediction

“Superforecasting offers the first demonstrably effective way to improve our ability to predict the future—whether in business, finance, politics, international affairs, or daily life. A great read (or listen) for anyone who is interested in risk management and security. It comes with my highest recommendations.”

Evolution of the Contact Centre Series

“Back in the summer of 2020, The Call Centre Management Association (CCMA) and Puzzel launched research to explore the evolution of the contact centre industry. The research programme, which is now in its sixth series, explores the industry’s future direction, the contact centre’s strategic role and the development of new operating models. I’d recommend all six of these reports to anyone interested in customer service.”

Helping your business flourish with QA

“Confusion and uncertainty shouldn’t be a rite of passage in the contact centre quality assurance (QA) journey… though it often is. I’d recommend reading Evaluagent’s recent blog to learn more about our new interactive QA maturity tool, allowing contact centres to find out where they are on their QA journey. Get personalised advice from the experts on how to take your QA to the next level.”
