Gartner defines the CEC market as the market for software applications used to provide customer service and support by engaging intelligently — both proactively and reactively — with customers by answering questions, solving problems and giving advice.
Salesforce was named as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for CRM Customer Engagement Center for the twelfth consecutive year. Salesforce believes its longstanding position in the quadrant validates its customers who provide consistently high-quality service throughout countless industries.
According to Gartner, “the CRM customer engagement center (CEC) market includes software applications used to provide customer service and support by engaging intelligently — both proactively and reactively — with customers by answering questions, solving problems and giving advice.”
Now, Salesforce’s long-standing reputation for supporting service employees in the call center is extending to employees working in the field.
