Learn what a call center adherence report is and how real-time adherence data helps contact center leaders improve staffing, scheduling, and service levels.

Learn which workforce management metrics matter most and how to use them to improve forecasting, staffing, efficiency, and contact center performance.

The contact center industry is undergoing a significant transformation, and most workforce management (WFM) teams are still catching up. At SWPP 2026 in Nashville, Aspect Software made a clear case: the AI era isn't just changing what WFM teams do, it's fundamentally changing how they need to think about forecasting, staffing, performance, and measurement.

What happens to the metrics you've spent years optimizing when artificial intelligence starts handling a growing share of your customer interactions? That was the central question at the heart of a thought-provoking think tank session Aspect facilitated at this year's Customer Contact East, a Frost & Sullivan Executive MindXChange event. The session, titled *"KPI Drift: How Agentic AI Is Transforming Contact Center Performance,"* brought together contact center and workforce leaders from across industries to wrestle with a surprisingly thorny problem: the KPIs that once told you whether your operation was performing are increasingly telling you something different … or nothing at all. Here's what we learned.

Forecasting is at the center of how teams plan, adapt, and make decisions. As part of our continued innovation with Aspect Intelligence, this release introduces new enhancements designed to help teams gain clearer visibility, plan further ahead, and connect forecasting into existing workforce operations.
