Hosted Call Centre
Hosted Call Centre Powered by a Reliable MPLS Network

Delivered over the AlwaysON managed private network, the Virtual Customer Contact Centre service connects every agent to the same automatic call distribution (ACD) platform, irrespective of their location, to provide a seamless, easily managed resource and a uniform customer experience.
The skills pool is widened and key issues of agent retention and unsocial working hours can be easily addressed through remote and home-working.
The Hosted Call Centre is an innovative business model where the telephony service is provided over the IP Network and customers do not own (or pay) for any hardware or software but rather just for using it (Software-as-a-Service or SaaS model). The solutions range from simple IVRs to full blown contact centres.
With unlimited capability available on-demand, it is quick and simple to expand or contract the number of seats, and subscribe to enhanced capabilities when it's right for your business.
