Cloud vs on-premise call center equipment

Cloud-based virtual call centers can be a big leap forward for call centers. The benefits of such a solution extend to agents, supervisors as well as callers. Traditional call centers face high levels of churn due to low satisfaction levels. Working remotely allows for flexible hours which improve agent satisfaction rates. Cloud-based call centers also give access to a larger pool of agents who are more experienced and certified. 

Cloud-based virtual call centers require less investment in infrastructure as well: A work-at-home agent requires – A headset, a laptop/desktop/Chromebook, a steady internet connection, and virtual call center software. Supervisors can make changes to workflow or organizational operations via their dashboard and the same will reflect on agents’ dashboards as well. The entire process is seamless.

Compare this with traditional call centers, where technology isn’t up to date, and simple changes cause a lot of downtimes. A traditional on-premise call center has 30% more annual spend than cloud-based contact centers. 

Advantages of using Call center Scheduling Software

What features do you need for your Call center?

Call conferencing

This feature allows multiple agents, or respondents to be on one call. This eliminates the need for agents to transfer calls to other agents when they cannot address the customer’s concern: a common customer service frustration.

ivr

Interactive Voice Response (IVR) technology

With IVR technology, organizations can record professional greetings for when a respondent calls their call center. Additionally, this technology ensures that calls are directed toward the agents who are best equipped to address the respondent’s concern. For example, if the respondent speaks in French, they will be routed to a French speaking agent.

dashboard

Call monitoring and Whisper coaching

Call monitoring is a feature that allows supervisors to monitor ongoing/live calls between agents and respondents. Supervisors can do so without the agent or respondent knowing. Whisper coaching is a feature that allows the supervisor to have a conversation with the agent while on call with the respondent, without the respondent being able to hear this interaction. This is a useful tool for difficult calls or for the training of new agents.
