In a recent Enghouse Interactive survey, customers have made it clear that they want online communication channels with companies. 79% of consumers believe that businesses should provide a way for customers to contact them online.

It is also interesting to compare this figure with the responses to the very same question in previous years’ surveys. In 2014, only 29% of respondents answered that the possibility to contact a company online was relevant.
