  14. Mobile Apps and Customer Service Disconnect “Driven by the opportunity to lower costs and expand customer choice, an increasing number of companies are offering self-service applications via mobile devices. However, we estimate that nearly two-thirds of customers engaging in self-service end up requiring interaction with a contact center agent. As a result, successful mobile customer service solutions must seamlessly link the self-service experience with live assistance.” Richard Snow, VP & Research Director, Ventana Research
