Since working with Praxent, more users can access the self-service, and call rates have decreased, signifying an improved UX. Praxent trained us well and gave us all the skills needed to succeed. The internal UX team is now skilled enough to improve CX independently. Praxent's team was friendly and easy to work with. They're highly recommended.
