“Cloud” is just a metaphor for the Internet.
Don’’t let those computer geeks try and confuse you anymore!
Cloud Computing and call centres
Cloud computing has completely revolutionised the call centre industry enabling fully scalable call centre solutions to be deployed in the cloud.
In simple terms, that means that even a small call centre can get access to Hosted PBX providing a fully-featured contact centre solution including ACD, call recording, skill-based routing, outbound diallers and more for a simple per agent per month model.
It also enables the onboarding of a remote workforce enabling work from home agents etc to improve flexible rostering (and capacity management) and a host of other features.
