Engageware , an industry-leading provider of customer engagement solutions, and Glia, a leading provider of Digital Customer Service, today announced integration of their solutions to support financial institutions’ ability to provide more comprehensive customer engagement and support in the digital domain. In a few simple clicks, financial institutions can now easily access the Engageware solution in the Glia operator dashboard without the need for technical resources
The Glia platform enables institutions to meet customers where they are and communicate with them via their preferred method—including messaging, video banking and voice—while guiding them through CoBrowsing. By integrating Engageware’s financial services industry-specific knowledge base into this platform, banking customers can easily access bank-specific content, robust self-service assistance, and always up-to-date information across all channels. When more complex inquiries arise, customers can seamlessly be transferred to a live representative without having to reauthenticate themselves or provide additional context. This powerful combination allows financial institutions to deflect live chat volume and reduce the workload on frontline staff by providing accurate, timely and automated answers via self-service. As a result, employees are freed up to dedicate their attention and expertise to the higher-touch, higher-value and/or more complex customer relationships.

Today’s customers expect a seamless experience and exceptional, timely support whether delivered through digital channels, in-branch or the call center.”
Additionally, Engageware’s Employee Knowledge Management solution is now available for integration within Glia’s platform, providing financial institutions with a powerful employee enablement solution that improves efficiency and enables even the newest employees to be productive on day one. Leveraging the integrated solution, employees can instantly access the most updated policies and procedures with ease, improve service levels, provide accurate answers and deliver exceptional service. For mutual customers of Engageware and Glia, the integration is available with a simple click, enabling resource-constrained banks and credit unions to quickly benefit from the combined solutions without requiring technical know-how.
“Consumers expect their financial institutions to deliver quick, convenient service and support, no matter the time or place,” said Dan Michaeli, CEO and co-founder of Glia. “By leveraging Engageware’s domain expertise within our sophisticated Digital Customer Service platform, institutions can empower their customers to self-serve when possible and easily connect with a live agent when needed, all without ever being forced to leave the digital domain. This modern approach to customer service creates a unique advantage for institutions in an increasingly competitive marketplace.”
