Northern TrustNorthern Trust Adopts Zendesk for Omnichannel Service
Northern Trust, a financials organization in the United States, uses WFM from Zendesk to support omnichannel service for contact center teams.
Financials teams at Northern Trust treat Zendesk as the working layer for omnichannel service.
“In the United States, contact center teams already knew where contact center routing went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.”
“Zendesk provides customer service software for ticketing, messaging, and knowledge used by support organizations.”

Story
Northern Trust did not need another dashboard that nobody opened. It needed omnichannel service to move. In the United States, contact center teams already knew where contact center routing went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.
WFM from Zendesk is now in that path. Zendesk provides customer service software for ticketing, messaging, and knowledge used by support organizations. The company treats it as production tooling for omnichannel service, which is why contact center teams live in it rather than exporting from it once a quarter.
Northern Trust can show how contact center routing is handled today. That is the value: a repeatable way to run omnichannel service on software the rest of the industry already recognizes.
