What is Amazon Connect Customer?
Amazon Connect Customer is AWS’ cloud-based omnichannel contact center. Until April 2026 the service was simply called “Amazon Connect” and was renamed as part of its expansion into a family of agentic solutions (Amazon Connect Decisions, Talent, Customer, and Health). AWS documentation still uses the former name interchangeably.
Unlike traditional contact center solutions, Connect Customer requires no dedicated hardware and no long-term licensing contracts. Billing is usage-based per channel. The service serves customers, agents, supervisors, and administrators alike, bundling routing, analytics, and AI-powered agent assistance into a single interface.
