    Webinar | The big shift in CX - moving beyond the call centre - TelvivaWith the ability to deliver exceptional customer experience (CX) becoming a crucial part of modern business strategy, many organisations are discovering that traditional customer service models no longer serve their needs adequately. Customers are now looking for immediate, personalised engagements on the channel of their choice. They expect service to be available on their terms and brands are struggling to live up to expectations.

    Join Dennis Wakabayashi, The Global Voice of CX, Fanie Vos from LIPCO Business and others to explore “The Big Shift” beyond traditional call centres, mastering omnichannel, and how to leverage AI and automation to enhance customer experience. Register for the webinar today.

    This shift in expectation means that customer service has to change from being a backoffice function to being at the forefront of the organisation – and standard call centres are proving insufficient to address this change. Businesses must evolve to meet customers where they are present, by offering choice, convenience and a consistent experience across all touchpoints – and if organisations can’t get this right, they will likely lose the customer to a competitor who can.

    The solution lies in transforming a previously reactive customer support department into a proactive CX hub. To help businesses get started, Telviva is hosting a webinar, The Future of Customer Experience: From Call Centre to Contact Centre to CX Hub, where we will focus on how brands can transform customer experience.

    Join us on 16 October 2025 at 11am SAST as we delve into the evolution of customer experience, moving beyond traditional call and contact centres to dynamic CX hubs, in a discussion that will feature:

    • Dennis Wakabayashi, The Global Voice of CX, as key speaker
    • Fanie Vos, national executive: operations at LIPCO Business, as panellist
    • Martie de Beer, contact centre-as-a-service executive at Telviva, as panellist
    • Clara Wicht, head of product and marketing at Telviva, as moderator

    This webinar will provide insights into creating a unified strategy that connects with customers on their preferred digital channels. You will learn how to leverage modern tools, including automation and WhatsApp for business, to craft a seamless customer journey that drives loyalty and growth and understand the pitfalls to avoid in customer experience.

    Bridging global best practice with local realities

    Our key speaker, Dennis Wakabayashi, is dedicated to sharing comprehensive insights and promoting a global conversation about customer experience. Drawing from field research through podcasts such as CX in the Wild and candid conversations via CX Tea Show, Wakabayashi bridges developed market assumptions with emerging market realities.

    Beyond just looking at building the business case and securing buy-in for improving CX, Wakabayashi addresses various aspects of customer experience, including consumer research, customer journey development, UX, service design and all of the integrations that are required to advance CX.

    Webinar | The big shift in CX - moving beyond the call centre - TelvivaHighlighting real-world success

    A key part of our discussion will be a compelling case study from LIPCO Business, presented by Fanie Vos. Discover how LIPCO transformed their fragmented engagement and reactive service into an omnichannel success story with Telviva Omni, significantly improving CX and empowering their agents. This case study will demonstrate the practical steps and tangible results of a successful customer experience transformation.

    What we’ll cover to enhance your customer experience:

    • The Big Shift: Why a call centre is not enough anymore for modern customer experience
    • Mastering omnichannel: Creating a single, unified view for superior customer journeys
    • WhatsApp for Business: Your new power channel for direct customer engagement
    • The role of AI and automation: Building an efficient CX hub
    • Build your road map: Towards the future of customer-centric operations

    This webinar is designed for anyone looking to modernise their customer-facing operations, improve efficiency and stay ahead of the curve in a competitive market by delivering exceptional customer experiences.
