Contact Center Pipeline Magazine: Inside Our March 2022 Issue

FROM THE MARCH 2022 ISSUE

Analyzing the Analytics

This issue marks our 13th year of publishing Contact Center Pipeline. For many, 13 is an unlucky number. However, for me, 13 represents 13 years of hard work and great accomplishment in providing our readers with timely, expert insights every month. Reflecting back on our journey, I certainly don’t feel unlucky. I feel humbled, grateful, and energized.

Through the good times and bad, it takes great teams of people, like mine here at Contact Center Pipeline, and your teams in your centers, to keep pace with trends and changes. Our journey was relatively easy to start in 2008 because of our small team sharing a common vision. Our team and partners have grown over these 13 years. The road at times a bit bumpy. But a look down memory lane only confirms we ARE as good as the people around us. It is our people that make great organizations.

Thank you for these 13 years!

There is lots of information in this month’s issue. Please enjoy.
