CALL CENTER / CONTACT CENTER
Traditionally, Cisco, Avaya and Shoretel have held the prem based market share for call centers, but prem based is not necessarily the answer for the new Call Center Evolution. In fact, there's no better case for Cloud Services than the new Call Centers, or the more appropriate term, Contact Centers which now includes multiple components; phone, mobile, video, email, web-chat, knowledgebase and ticketing. Contact Centers belong in the cloud. Why? Because, nowadays call centers are more distributed. The driving factors are Economics, Technology and Demographics. The largest companies now have home agents (or home shoring) as part of their contact center mix. Also more international capabilities are required with off-shoring and near shoring. Progressive companies automate their conversations, by allowing their customers to communicate they way they want; Voice, IVR, Mobile/SMS, Email, Fax, Social Media, Push Notifications (including OTT), and Print on Demand. Finally, tighter integration with 3rd party apps are required. With Call Centers evolving into Contact Centers, the cloud is screaming to fill the need.
