8×8, Inc. a leading integrated cloud communications platform provider, announced that DMV Veterinary Centers, 24-hour emergency and specialty pet hospitals and services provider throughout Canada, has deployed 8×8 Contact Center for Microsoft Teams, which is certified by Microsoft. The 8×8 cloud customer engagement solution allows DMV to meet increasing demand for veterinary services and enhance customer experience for pet owners.

8×8 Contact Center’s tight integration with Microsoft Teams was a game changer for DMV Veterinary Centers, providing advanced omnichannel contact center capabilities to help resolve customer issues quickly across its four veterinary centers in Canada. For example, owners calling about their pets during busy periods are routed to contact center agents efficiently, resulting in shorter wait times. Alternatively, callers can choose to receive a callback without losing their place in the call queue, and owners with pet emergencies can receive immediate instructions via SMS texts.

The past year saw a 50 percent increase in Canadian pet adoptions, and the sudden growth in pet ownership meant DMV had to meet soaring veterinary demands, including a 60 percent spike in urgent calls. This increase in phone traffic, from 50,000 owners and hundreds of veterinary professionals, placed a major strain on their existing technology resources, creating inefficiencies and bottlenecks. DMV’s legacy phone system did not allow for the prioritization of callers, or provide data on individual agent performance, which made improving the customer experience a challenge. In addition to call handling, agents were manually sending 10,000 appointment reminders monthly by SMS.

DMV already used Teams for collaboration, and with expert advice from trusted IT consulting firm Solulan, selected the 8×8 Contact Center for Microsoft Teams solution to improve customer and employee experience, enabling agents to quickly connect and collaborate with other Teams-enabled experts to resolve issues faster.

“We desperately needed to reduce caller wait times and automate manual tasks in order to better serve our customers and provide their pets with the highest possible level of care,” said Noël Grospeiller, Vice President, Client and Employee Experience at DMV Veterinary Centers. “DMV Veterinary Centers looked at multiple offerings and only 8×8 had the contact center solution and automation capabilities, complete with the Microsoft Teams integration, that we were looking for. Its cloud-based solution is advantageous in that it helps us to eliminate infrastructure cost and maintenance; it also means our agents can work from anywhere.”

DMV also wanted to extend the benefits of 8×8 XCaaS™ (eXperience Communications as a Service™) by using the 8×8 CPaaS SMS API to automate SMS notifications and embed it into workflows without modifying software. With these CPaaS capabilities, DMV can implement new communications options quickly, eliminating manual tasks and saving agent time.

“Businesses experiencing high volume customer inquiries need a reliable, integrated contact center and communications system that allows employees and agents to work efficiently and quickly,” said Ken Berryman, Chief Sales Officer at 8×8, Inc. “8×8 Contact Center for Microsoft Teams, together with 8×8 CPaaS, allows DMV Veterinary Center to collaborate seamlessly in Teams while enhancing customer engagement. Their specific business requirements include creating critical call flow structure, reporting, and analytics, all of which allows DMV to concentrate on its core objective – caring for pets.”

“With their incredible surge in pet owner calls, DMV Veterinary Center needed a comprehensive, easy-to-implement contact center solution that integrated with Microsoft Teams,” said Rija Raharinosy, Vice President, Sales & Alliances at Solulan. “With 8×8’s industry-leading customer engagement and CPaaS solutions, we knew that DMV would benefit from being able to easily manage call flows, monitor agent activity, and save agent time by automating digital communications.”
