Comsys at the 21st Customer Service Summit: Designing Smarter Customer Service Journeys

June 15, 2026

Comsys participated as a sponsor at the 21st Customer Service Summit, organized by BOUSSIAS Events on June 4, 2026, at the Eugenides Foundation. The conference brought together customer service leaders, industry professionals, and organizations looking for smarter, more efficient, and more human-centric ways to elevate Customer Experience.

AI vs. Human: The Wrong Question

A key highlight of our presence was the session delivered by Kostas Bithimitris, Sales Manager at Comsys, titled “AI vs Human: The Wrong Question.”

The core message of the presentation challenged a common industry dilemma: the real question in customer service is not whether organizations should choose AI or people, but how to decide when automation adds value and when human involvement is essential.

Where AI Adds Value

Automation creates real value when it handles repetitive requests, provides immediate answers to simple needs, guides self-service, and delivers information that does not require complex judgment. In these cases, AI can simplify the customer journey, reduce effort, and support faster service.

Where Human Interaction Matters Most

Human involvement remains critical when managing complaints and dissatisfaction, resolving complex or ambiguous problems, and handling emotionally sensitive interactions that require empathy, judgment, and a more personal approach.

The takeaway: The future of customer service is not about AI replacing people. It is about designing the right balance between automation and human expertise, so that each interaction is handled in the most effective way.

From Bot Containment to True Resolution

A crucial takeaway from the session was the need to shift the focus from bot containment to true resolution.

Success should not be measured only by how many customers remain within an automated flow. It should be measured by:

  • Whether the customer’s issue was actually resolved.

  • How much effort was required from the customer.

  • The overall quality of the experience.

  • The effectiveness of the communication.

Journey Redesign Before Automation

To achieve this, Comsys supports a “Journey Redesign first, Automation second” approach, built around five key steps:

  • Understand: What does the customer actually need?

  • Design: What is the right flow and desired experience?

  • Automate: Where does it make sense to introduce AI?

  • Escalate: When should the interaction move to a human agent?

  • Improve & Maintain: How does the journey evolve based on data?

A critical factor in this process is escalation logic. The transition from AI to a human agent must ensure continuity, without losing the context of the customer’s interaction.

Connecting People, Data, and AI in a Unified Service Ecosystem

Through Comsys and Jaggle.eu solutions, organizations can connect people, data, and AI into a unified ecosystem with the customer at the center.

By leveraging technologies such as:

  • Unified Contact Center solutions

  • Workforce Management (WFM)

  • Voice Analytics

  • Conversational AI built with Low-code capabilities

Our objective remains clear: to enhance human-led service for both customers and agents through the right use of technology.
