Top WebRTC use cases for contact centers

While many enterprises ought to explore their own WebRTC use cases, contact centers are leading the way in adoption of the browser-based technology.

This year, the contact center is the clear winner of WebRTC adoption. Within contact centers, four different WebRTC use cases generally emerge:

1. Web customer to agent:
Also known as click-to-talk. A widget is added to a website, enabling interaction between customers from the website to an agent in the contact center.
2. Customer to Web agent:
Where the customer uses a non-WebRTC channel to access the contact center, and the agent uses the browser and WebRTC to answer the call.

3. Web agent to customer:
Where a salesperson contacts a customer, prospect or partner directly from the customer relationship management (CRM) system without picking up the phone.
4. Agent to Web surfer:
