Glia, the leader in customer interaction technology, introduced Unified Interaction Management (UIM). This new customer experience model integrates all interactions on a single platform—architected to eliminate the data and context gaps that result from channel-switching in customer interactions. UIM replaces the disparate Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) approach—siloed digital solutions built upon a legacy telephony platform—to drive efficiency, reduce redundancy and improve the customer experience.
“Businesses that shift from channel management to Unified Interaction Management put their customers at the center of each experience, ensuring fluid movement across interaction channels to accelerate resolution,” said Dan Michaeli, CEO and Co-Founder of Glia. “UIM is the future of customer experience technology. Companies will drive efficiency, revenue and loyalty because they won’t have the limitations of traditional CCaaS. We believe this new category will completely redefine how businesses interact with their customers.”
The Case for UIM
Until today, companies had to employ disparate solutions for call center telephony, digital and AI interactions, creating operational inefficiencies and leading to poor customer experiences. Despite efforts by CCaaS vendors to provide digital and AI capabilities, their telephony-centric systems keep interactions, data and reporting on multiple screens and in fragmented channel silos.

UIM streamlines customer interactions across channels, preserving context, optimizing experiences for both customers and staff and offering richer management and reporting capabilities. Customers no longer have to repeat themselves over and over to multiple representatives in various channels—UIM elegantly moves the interaction to the optimal point of service.
“Unified Interaction Management has transformed how WyHy FCU provides member service. Our staff have more than 25 systems they might need for any given interaction to help a member. Between the core banking system, another for credit card, and yet another for debit card and bill pay, providing support can get complicated quickly. Now add in the complexity of separate phone and digital systems, plus automation across multiple platforms and this becomes very challenging. Enabling representatives to manage all interactions on one platform, on one screen has dramatically increased efficiency in terms of overall service and beyond, such as for training,” said Tim Walters, Member Experience manager for WyHy Federal Credit Union.
Glia’s Own UIM Solution
Built on Glia’s ChannelLess™Architecture, the Glia Interaction Platform fully integrates Digital Customer Service (DCS), traditional Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) capabilities and AI-powered automation (virtual assistants and staff guidance). This delivers on the promise of UIM to unite interactions, simplify the customer experience and create efficiency.
