Guidance for Omnichannel Contact Center for Banking on AWS

Overview

This Guidance helps financial services institutions transform the customer experience using an Amazon Connect environment on AWS. It demonstrates how to build an omni-channel contact center that is ideal for unpredictable call volume and can easily be configured, managed, and operated by business decision makers. With a cloud-based contact center, you can design the contact flows and onboard agents in a matter of minutes.

Well-Architected Pillars

The architecture diagram above is an example of a Solution created with Well-Architected best practices in mind. To be fully Well-Architected, you should follow as many Well-Architected best practices as possible.

The platform is built using native AWS services, which integrate natively with AWS CloudTrail and Amazon CloudWatch for monitoring, logging, and auditing purposes. With the use of fully managed services, it becomes very easy to manage the workload because AWS takes care of the operational aspects of the services.

Resources are separated using VPCs or security groups to ensure only the user-facing services are open to the public and all other services are within private networks. All data is encrypted at rest using AWS Key Management Service.

Read the Security whitepaper

This guidance uses AWS-managed services that are highly available across Availability Zones and provide high reliability. Fully managed services scale up with growth in user demand and scale down when not being used. With an event-driven architecture, you can change services and scale them independently.

This guidance is built in event-driven architecture, so you can change services downstream as you see fit and add new services to improve on performance.

Read the Performance Efficiency whitepaper

This guidance uses services with the pay-as-you-go model, ensuring that customers only pay for the resources they use. It consists of fully managed services that scale up with growth in business and scale down when there is not much usage, keeping the costs low.

Read the Cost Optimization whitepaper

This guidance uses fully managed services, where the services scale up with the growth in user demand, and are not used when there is no activity.
