Enterprise is better equipped to handle the challenge of improving customer experience whereas small business are, as always, at a disadvantage.
Enterprise can throw money at the problem and are primarily concerned with CX cost optimization.
Small businesses don’t have the funds maintain 24/7 call centres, chat operators etc. and are facing the additional challenge of having to achieve more with less human and monetary resources.
Small businesses are at a disadvantage stuck using old and broken customer service paradigms.

ViClone’s Monica deployed at Telefonica S.A. (Spain) is helping hundreds of thousand people every month to find solutions to problems and queries with no human
involvement.http://vimeo.com/53098635
VIRTUAL AGENT ADVANTAGESUnlike static FAQs and traditional site search, virtual agent technology allows customers to ask questions in normal, conversational style language,
with the ability to deliver the precise answer. Instead of having to jump through hoops or wade through an inaccurate self-help menu, customers can simply type in their question and have the single right answer in seconds.
Essentially, virtual agents will leave customers feeling less frustrated and more likely to have a better impression of the company.
VIRTUAL AGENT ADVANTAGESAdvanced analytics tools allow small companies to take advantage of the kind of analysis big companies have in maximizing insights gleaned from knowing what customer
are searching for. Use this data to evolve your site offerings. A report that shows the most commonly asked questions, for example, can help you understand what your users are looking for. A report that shows what users are asking for and NOT finding opens up the
opportunity to add content, products or services in that area.
