Cloud Contact Center Platform FAQs

Call center software is the technology that enables direct communication between a business and its customers. With the right features and functionality, it automates receiving and addressing customer concerns (typically via phone).

Whether you have multiple call centers or operate a single one for a small, family-owned business, the goal is the same: to deliver five-star customer experiences every time. This is the simplest yet most important reason to have a good call center solution.
There are numerous call center software solutions available in the market, each one having its own list of pros and cons. Before you make a decision, it is important to fully grasp the specific needs of your business and determine if you could benefit from a contact center system hosted on-premise or in the cloud. What’s the difference?

On-premise call center software

Traditionally, call center systems operate through in-house servers, software, hardware, and all other associated infrastructure kept within the premises of a building. That includes the call center software, which uses phone lines to manage both outgoing and incoming calls.

In this setup, you have full control over your infrastructure. Your IT team handles implementation as well as repairs, maintenance work, and upgrades.

Cloud-based call center software

Call centers can also be hosted in the cloud by a third-party provider like RingCentral. Here, the software is installed on servers hosted in the Service Provider DataCenter. Agents can access it from anywhere as long as there’s an internet connection. The provider handles the implementation and keeps all the necessary infrastructure in their data centers, so you don’t have to worry about the upkeep.

Moreover, cloud-based call centers can handle not only call queues, but also emails and live chats.
A cloud contact center is an investment. It only makes sense that in your search for one, you should look for advanced features that will benefit your business. Here are some of them:
  • Auto dialer - An auto dialer or power dialer is an outbound call center solution that automatically dials customer phone numbers. Once answered, the dialer software plays a recorded message or transfers the call to a live person. There are different kinds of auto dialers, such as preview dialers, progressive dialers, and predictive dialers.
  • Caller ID - The caller ID display allows agents to see customer information before getting on the call. This is integral in keeping all calls routed to the appropriate agent—crucial when agents have specific accounts assigned to them. Ultimately, it identifies the caller, retrieves extra information about the call from a CRM or back office system, and routes the call to the appropriate agent.
  • Call queuing - When customers reach out to your call center and all your agents are busy, they are placed in a call queue. In case the wait time is too long, a queue call back (also known as virtual hold) can be offered to the caller. Customers can also stay on the line, listen to the hold music, and wait for the agent.
  • Agent scripting - An agent scripting tool provides support teams with prompts to help move interactions along. Armed with a quality script, agents never have to worry about not knowing what to say next—they can shape and guide conversations toward the necessary direction.
The cost of your contact center system will depend on your business size, number of agents and required phone numbers, and set of preferred features. Vendors offer their own plans and pricing, and you should take the time to assess your needs and find a solution that makes the most sense for your business.
