Call Recording Compliance Software: a Financial Services Evaluation Guide

Call recording compliance software captures and archives business conversations so regulated organizations can meet their obligations. In reality, what seems simple is often plagued by platform limitations and configuration errors. This guide covers what regulators ask of financial services organizations, what to evaluate in a call recording compliance software vendor, and where recording software fails most often.

Rethinking Customer Service KPIs: How Putting People First Built a 100% Satisfaction Rate

Luware won Silver in the category Best Customer Service at the US Customer Experience Awards 2026, recognizing an approach we call “people over KPIs”. The idea is simple: most customer service teams are measured on speed and volume, but the outcomes customers actually value, a lasting fix and a relationship they trust, come from removing the pressure, not adding to it. Here is what that looks like in practice.

Financial Services Cloud Migration: What to Ask and Plan For

Choosing a cloud compliance recording platform is a bigger decision than swapping infrastructure. For a regulated firm, the recording system is the evidence base it relies on in an audit or investigation, so the platform has to be judged on what it can prove, not just its features. This guide sets out why regulated firms are moving compliance recording to the cloud and what the move gains them.

Attendant Console for Microsoft Teams: How Reception Teams Connect Callers Faster

An attendant console for Microsoft Teams is a dedicated call-handling interface that lets receptionists manage high call volumes directly inside Teams. It combines caller identification, directory search, real-time presence, calendar visibility, and one-click transfers in a single view, so front-desk teams can connect each caller to the right person on the first try instead of searching across three or four separate windows.

What an AI Contact Center for Financial Services Looks Like Inside Microsoft Teams

Customers have learned to expect that service should work like a conversation: describe the problem in plain language, get it resolved. Tools like ChatGPT and Gemini set that bar, and most contact centers fall short of it. The obvious fix is to add AI, yet MIT's NANDA initiative found that around 95 percent of enterprise generative AI pilots never reach measurable value. So the question worth asking is not whether to put AI into customer service.

Non-financial Misconduct: Can You Prove What Was Said under the FCA's 2026 COCON Rule?

From September 1st, 2026, bullying, harassment and violence between colleagues fall inside the FCA's Code of Conduct (COCON) for firms beyond banking. The new rule does not just ask you to hold a policy. It requires a defensible judgment about what happened, and that judgment rests on proof. This article explains what changes, who falls within scope, and why every decision the rule demands turns on a single question: Can you prove what was said?

Stop Making Customers Repeat Themselves: How AI Augmentation Transforms Contact Center Routing

Contact centers that close the gap between what business systems know and what agents know at the moment of pickup see measurable results fast. Caroline Howick, Team Manager for Pensions at Kent County Council, reports that Luware Nimbus boosted answer rates by 44% and cut wait times to just 30 seconds after deployment. That outcome reflects what happens when routing is intelligent and agents arrive at every call already informed.

The Impact of Outdated Quality Assurance Tools in Call Centers

Every contact center operates for one purpose: great customer service. But when your QA is still manual, you are already losing ground at this point. Outdated tools leave 95%+ of interactions unanalyzed, create biased scoring, and push your best agents toward burnout. The result? Lower CSAT, higher turnover, and mounting compliance risk. Traditional QA tools are not enough anymore when modern solutions are available.
