    One of the major benefits of a cloud PBX unified communications phone system for businesses is that it provides hugely valuable data, analytics and reporting about the company’s communications. Now, more than ever, as businesses navigate the disruptions caused by COVID-19, it’s of extreme importance that business leaders and managers are able to keep constant track of all communications data so they can continue to set and meet goals, improve customer experience and satisfaction, and forge a new path forward amidst market turmoil. 

    A recent report from Sisense reveals that 50% of companies are referring to data sources, dashboards or analytics more often than before the crisis, and 65% are either maintaining or increasing budget on data analytics, despite other cutbacks. 

    The report also finds that not only is COVID-19 impacting the frequency of use of data analytics, companies are also discovering new data use cases. Improving efficiency, supporting customers, and predicting changes and outcomes are the three fastest growing use cases of data analytics in businesses, regardless of company size. 

    Benefits of Cloud PBX Call Analytics 

    For businesses that deal with large numbers of inbound and outbound calls every day, real-time call analytics and reporting are invaluable tools, providing the company with actionable data to help it succeed in these times of crisis and beyond. 

    Keeping constant track of communications analytics helps companies better understand customer behaviors, how employees are engaging on the phone, and other important metrics like peak hours, where and when additional staff need to be deployed, and where sales leads are coming from. As such, companies that utilize call analytics are able to achieve higher customer satisfaction, customer retention, service quality and business performance.
