After several years of slow growth the market for Online Customer Services Solutions has suddenly come to life, driven by retail finacial services companies and telcos looking to get a significant competitive advantage.

Tools such as knowledge bases, intelligent FAQs, self-service bot technology and live chat can turn more visitors into customers, while reducing spend on traditional customer services, such as labour-intensive call centres.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

This buyer's guide contains in-depth vendor profiles, market positioning charts and a vendor matrix, so you can compare services at a glance.
