Techopedia Explains Customer Collaboration

As a customer care approach, customer collaboration ventures beyond traditional call and contact centers, allowing customers to make their voices heard through directly interacting with businesses and their employees.

Customer collaboration combines contact center technology and processes with active, effective engagement between customers and company staff – largely through social media, which is a major component of business-customer collaboration. Tools like Facebook and Twitter are often used to gauge customer interest or dissatisfaction and reveal key company questions, inquiries, setbacks and successes.
