Monthly Spotlight

Monthly Spotlight: Why Agentic AI Will Reshape Contact Centres.

Legacy phone systems can’t compete with AI. 

Agentic AI is changing customer service forever — and if your contact centre isn’t built to handle it, you’re already behind. By 2029, Gartner predicts 80% of customer service interactions will be handled without human involvement. That’s not automation. That’s Agentic AI, and it’s taking the business world by storm.

Most businesses still think of automation as static: chatbots that follow decision trees, or voice assistants that fall apart the second a question goes off-script. You’ve probably used them. You’ve probably been frustrated by them.

But agentic AI is different.

It’s AI that acts with agency, meaning it can interpret intent, take proactive steps, and get things done across systems. No human hand-holding needed.

This is the next evolution in customer service. And it’s already here — just not on legacy systems.

The problem isn’t just the hardware. It’s what you can’t do. No integration with AI tools or real-time analytics. No central visibility across channels. No ability to scale, flex or automate intelligently.

In other words, you’re paying for phone lines while your competitors are building AI-driven customer experiences.

So, if you’re still relying on legacy systems, it’s time for a review and check if you’re ready for a future-ready contact centre.

Smart platforms like Zoom Contact Centre and Webex are making the shift simple, and CloudClevr can help you get there.

CloudClevr helps you move from static call queues to proactive, AI-enabled customer experiences that scale:

Cut wait times

Boost first-contact resolution

Reduce pressure on your team

Enable AI with confidence

Not sure how AI fits into your contact centre strategy?

We’ll review where you are today, show you what “AI-ready” really means and create a roadmap that makes sense for you.

Clevr Customer Story: The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine 

Smarter Communications for Global Health Research — Powered by Zoom and CloudClevr

The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) is one of the world’s leading public health universities, ranked #2 globally and #1 in the UK and Singapore.

With research and analysis running 24/7 across their global labs and campuses, they needed a secure, resilient, and modern communication solution.

Their ask? No downtime. More flexibility. And a unified platform that works anywhere for hybrid workers.

We’re delivering a hybrid Zoom + Mitel model, offering:

  • Minimal disruption through a phased rollout
  • Unlimited Zoom storage included in the license
  • Less IT overhead, empowering users to be self-sufficient

“CloudClevr didn’t push a standard package. They listened, adapted, and delivered a plan that actually fits us.”

Jaspal Dhalley, Network Manager, LSHTM.

Business Mobile

CapEx is out. Control is in.

If you’re still buying mobiles outright, you’re overspending. Mobile Leasing with CloudClevr means no upfront costs, full lifecycle support, and refresh-ready tech that keeps your team moving.

Many businesses are dealing with outdated handsets, unmanaged BYOD setups, and poor support experience. And with upfront CapEx blocking refreshes, teams are stuck with tech that’s dragging them down.

Most mobile devices are replaced every 2–3 years, so why spend CapEx on tech that depreciates fast and causes support headaches?

Clevr Mobile means:

No upfront costs
Devices, MDM, SIMs, accessories and support — all included
Refresh every 2–5 years, hassle-free
Aligned with your sustainability goals – using circular economy approach

Whether you’ve got 50 or 5000 users, we’ll show you how to refresh your mobile estate without burning your budget.

Lease smarter. Scale faster. Stay secure.

Copper’s out. Are you?

When’s the best time to begin your legacy broadband migration? Right now!

The PSTN switch-off might be 2027, but BT’s already pulling the plug, and forced migrations are ramping up fast, and the pace will accelerate this summer.

The final deadline may seem far off, but for most businesses, the switchover will come much sooner.

If your business still relies on copper lines for phones, EPOS, lifts, alarms or CCTV, you’re on borrowed time.

Don’t get caught out. Get ahead.

CloudClevr helps you:

✅ Pinpoint what’s still on legacy lines
✅ Switch to smarter, faster connectivity
✅ Migrate smoothly — on your terms

Don’t wait to be forced. Make the Clevr move today.

Industry Intel: What’s the Latest?

Industry Intel: What’s the latest?

Mitel Rebounds Stronger

Mitel has completed its restructuring program, slashing $1.15B in debt, cutting annual interest by $135M, and raising $125M in new funding. With a healthier balance sheet and momentum already showing in Q1 gains, Mitel will focus on customer-first growth, AI-driven communications, and hybrid innovation, including its joint hybrid solution with Zoom.

Callback Phishing on the Rise

Forget fake links – attackers are now sending legit-looking PDFs that prompt users to call a fake number to manipulate them into disclosing sensitive data. Big names like Microsoft, PayPal, and Adobe are being spoofed. This tactic bypasses traditional defences, so user awareness is now mission-critical. Train your teams. Stay alert.

Vodafone + Three Merger

Two mobile giants have joined forces, announcing a £11B investment over 10 years to build one of Europe’s most advanced 5G networks. The newly formed VodafoneThree promises a faster, more reliable experience for millions of UK businesses and consumers. This is a big move, and we’ll be watching what they roll out next.

Virgin Media O2 Invests Big in Network Boost

Virgin Media O2 has confirmed a £343M spectrum deal with Vodafone UK, acquiring 78.8MHz to supercharge its 4G and 5G mobile broadband capabilities. This builds on the 10-year network-sharing agreement signed last year, and will deliver better coverage and stronger signal performance across the O2 network.

That’s all from us in this edition.
