iXHero: From tool chaos to AI superpowers in the contact center

Wednesday, February 25, 2026 | 11 a.m.

Many contact centres invest in AI and still lose sight of the big picture. Isolated tools, low utilisation by agents and a lack of orchestration prevent real added value. In this masterclass, we show how our overarching platform iXHero resolves the tool chaos, bundles AI in a meaningful way and empowers agents in a targeted manner.

Real use cases are used to illustrate how fragmented AI can be turned into real operational strength. Participants will also have the opportunity to test iXHero live and experience how the platform works for themselves.

Your contact center hears everything. Are you making the most of it?

Wednesday, February 25, 2026 | 2 p.m.

The contact centre is one of the strongest sensors for customer experience - but valuable insights often get stuck in teams, tools and processes. The result: recurring complaints, slow response times and "perceived" rather than measurable improvements.

In this masterclass, Stefan Kolle (Futurelab) and Felix Katz (Sprinklr) will show how modern CFM helps to centrally consolidate customer feedback from different channels, assign responsibilities and transparently manage follow-ups.

Together, we will look at how real impetus for action can be derived from conversations, sentiment and topics - including root cause analyses, AI support and reporting that finally combines CX with ROI and business value.
