Embedded training and coaching AI enhances human-driven delivery, especially in complex customer, member, and patient interactions that require empathy.
— Iterum Connections, a nearshore contact center and business process outsourcing (BPO) provider, today announced i-coach: AI-powered contact center training, coaching, and performance improvement solutions are designed to reduce hold time and cost per call, improve service consistency, and support agent performance in complex and high-stakes customer interactions.
Dealing with increasing pressure on contact center operations
Contact center leaders often face increasing pressure to improve service levels, manage seasonality, comply with regulations, and control costs due to leaner teams and rising customer expectations. Traditional training and coaching models struggle under these demands, leading to knowledge fragmentation, reactive management, inconsistent performance, and increased agent turnover.
iCoach was developed to address these challenges by bringing structure, visibility, accountability, and continuous improvement into one unified platform built directly into Iterum’s service delivery model.
The iCoach difference
Unlike standalone software tools, iCoach is not sold as an add-on or used alone. This is built into the way Iterum delivers contact center outsourcing services, coordinating training, assessment, coaching and performance insights across every stage of the agent lifecycle.
“Traditional remote call center approaches often rely on disconnected systems and delayed intervention,” said Joseph Fidanque Cohen, VP of Innovation at Iterum Connections. “With iCoach, agents reach proficiency faster, supervisors can intervene sooner, and organizations can deliver a more consistent, high-quality customer experience without replacing the human element needed for complex interactions,” said Fidanke-Cohen. “Our AI is continuously shaped and enhanced by our operations team.”
How iCoach supports agents, trainers, and supervisors
iCoach helps agents, trainers, and supervisors from onboarding to long-term proficiency without accessing customer or member data. With three integrated modules, the platform enables realistic training scenarios with AI role-play, continuous knowledge validation, and AI-assisted coaching based on real-world performance trends.
Agents have access to timely guidance, learning materials, and workflow support, while supervisors gain early visibility into proficiency gaps and performance risks. This proactive approach reduces fire drills, improves forecasting, and supports more consistent service levels during peak demand.
“The job of a contact center agent is extremely complex,” says Geraldine Trujillo, Iterum Director of Learning and Development. “iCoach simplifies that process and creates an accelerated learning path.”
Measurable impact across complex programs
Initial implementation of iCoach across the Iterum program demonstrated measurable improvements, including faster time to proficiency for new hires, faster processing times through improved reliability and accuracy, enhanced quality assurance performance, and more consistent results during seasonal volume spikes.
“Many organizations are investing in AI tools, but few are directly embedding them into their service offerings,” Fidanke Cohen added. “iCoach is run by the same teams responsible for training, quality, workforce management, and operations, so AI is applied in a practical way that enhances human performance, rather than replacing it.”
Juan Lopez, COO and senior vice president of operations at Iterum, says this is more than just a differentiator.
“At the heart of iCoach is a comprehensive system to ensure contact center agent proficiency, efficiency and continuous improvement,” said Lopez. “It works by making sure everyone has the tools and motivation they need to succeed.”
Built for regulated, complex environments
iCoach was developed for environments where automation alone is insufficient, such as healthcare, financial services, travel, and other industries with complex policies, regulatory requirements, and long training cycles. Achieve measurable performance improvements without requiring access to sensitive customer data. By focusing on AI enablement, Iterum aims to help clients deliver faster, more accurate, and more human customer experiences, especially when it matters most.
