25 WebRTC STRATEGIES Enterprise Use Cases Things Will Change Chris Vitek Principal and Managing Director WebRTC Strategies 25

26 WebRTc in the Enterprise: Customer Collaboration Enterprise Contact Centers 26

27 Customer Collaboration 27

28 Customer Collaboration: Extending rich collaboration interfaces to customers. Create more intimate relationships. Solve problems more quickly. Offer the customers any interface that is convenient to them: PC, tablet or smartphone. Simple: No Downloads. 28

29 Customer Collaboration: Examples Patient Collaboration interface: Personalized address book. Document sharing. Anonymous availability. In-home care. Broker Collaboration: On-Line statement analysis. Investment opportunity analysis. Education: Distance learning. Student collaboration. Trade Contractor Maintenance: Sharing pictures. Scheduling maintenance appointments. M-to-M integration. Government: Permit completion and filing on-line with assistance If needed. On-line driver s license renewal. Document collaboration. PBX elimination. 29

30 Enterprise Contact Center: 30

31 Gartner Group Forecast: Marketing Technologists budgets will surpass CIO budgets within the next three years. Big Data marketplace will hit $57B this year and remain at that level for the next 3 years. Legacy Enterprise Telecom spend is on a downward trend and the market continues to fragment. 31

32 Enterprise Contact Center: Loyalty Vs. Satisfaction: Loyalty Satisfaction 100% 30% 80% 25% 60% 40% 20% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% Low Effort High Effort 0% Satisfied- Plan to Leave Not Satisfied - Plan to Stay 32

33 Current Enterprise Contact Center Strategies: Move Transactions to the Web. Optimize Business & Management Processes. Survey and Improve Customer Satisfaction. Implement Micro-Targeting with Legacy Contact Center Context and Tools. 33

34 Why Not Use Existing Technologies? Chat is widely available. Document co-browsing has been available since Video integration is available from many vendors. CTI has been available since Mobile applications are available from many vendors. 34

35 Why WebRTC? Telecom Context Vs. Web Context Chat, Co-Browsing, Video, CTI and Mobile all are supported by a single technology. Licensing and Maintenance Cost are Higher with 5 Difference Vendors. WebRTC eliminates the need for IVR, legacy does not. No downloads. 35

36 Legacy Customer Interaction ANI & DNIS 36

37 Big Data: Contact Center Routing and Micro-Targeting: ANI & DNIS 37

38 Results in a 1,000 Seat Contact Center: Customer effort is reduced. Customer service labor expense reduction $6.6M/year (15%). PSTN reduction or elimination $800K/year. Survivability (Catastrophe Communications). More Secure. Enables Micro-Targeting. Improved loyalty impact on marketing budget: $30M/year (10% of marketing budget). 38

39 WebRTC Market Status & Telco Impact Dean Director Disruptive Analysis

40 Voice & messaging are fragmenting Convergence & standards Fragmentation & differentiation There will no new ubiquitous interoperable services

55 Is WebRTC Innovative? 55

56 Let s Look at Three Litmus Tests for Disruptive Technologies Taken from the Innovator s Dilemma Remember: a litmus test is an indicator Litmus tests do not give exact magnitudes.

57 Test 1: The New Market Test Is there a large population of people who historically have not had the money, equipment, or skill to do this thing for themselves, and as a result have gone without it altogether or have needed to pay someone with more expertise to do it for them? To use the product or service, can people begin using it in a more convenient context? 57

58 Test 2: The Low-End Market Test Are there customers at the low end of the market who would be happy to purchase a product with less (but good enough) performance if they could get it a lower price? Can a business model be created that enables the new company to earn attractive profits at the discount prices required to win the business of these over-served customers at the low end? 58

59 59

60 Test 3: The Incumbent Test Is the innovation disruptive to all of the significant incumbent firms in the industry? If it appears to be sustaining to one or more significant players in the industry, then the odds will be stacked in that firm s favor, and the entrant is unlikely to win. 60

61 The Enterprise View of WebRTC Legacy Integration Specific Apps There is room for both view points 61

62 The Enterprise View of WebRTC Legacy Web Server WebRTC-to-SIP Border Controller SIP Control Data SIP-Based PBX SIP Control Data Border Controller Control Data Peer Connection (audio, video) Border Controller PSTN Cellular World Traditional Phones Phones or Video Units Browser Running HTML5 With WebRTC Browser Running HTML5 With WebRTC For any enterprises, WebRTC will need to integrate with existing infrastructure. 62

63 Peer Connection (audio, video, and/or data) The Enterprise View of WebRTC - Apps Browser Running HTML5 With WebRTC Peer Connection (audio, video, and/or data) Browser Running HTML5 With WebRTC Generally, Enterprises will not pay for IM/Presence Desktop video Web Server Peer Connection (audio, video, and/or data) Enterprises will pay for Voice Group video & infrastructure Audio conferencing Web conferencing Browser Running HTML5 With WebRTC Peer Connection (audio, video, and/or data) Browser Running HTML5 With WebRTC About half like these integrated and half will go best of breed. 63

64 When Should Organizations Adopt WebRTC? Another Lens to look through When it impacts one or more key drivers What generates the company s revenue What the company is best at What the company is passionate about Otherwise, ignore it Unless your competitors are adopting it, then adopt it to maintain parity 64

65 Low Hanging Fruit for WebRTC in Enterprises Engagement Sales and e-commerce (get the customer to buy or subscribe more easily) Some support applications, particularly voice and data sharing High value/high impact engagement (video) Don t count on WebRTC too much in regular support websites The trend for existing customers is toward self service and away from speaking to an agent (which costs money) 65

66 Market Size for WebRTC? It s still early days. Initially significant value in platforms and SBCs Think of WebRTC as you would HTML: what s the market size for HTML? Well, generally nothing. It s what people do with WebRTC that will generate its value. 66
