Modern call centers are more than a bank of telephone operators. A call center agent’s duties now range from placing and fielding phone calls to handling email and online communications, including IM (instant messaging). In turn, customers rely on call centers to submit email inquiries, send faxes and transmit text messages from cell phones and PDAs.

Many companies are choosing to deploy call center solutions while upgrading to VoIP. These companies understand that in order to be competitive they must invest in network optimization and streamlined business processes. A VoIP-based call center is a technology enabler for that type of transformation.

A VoIP call center can make your operation more scalable, which means you can expand rapidly and without costly infrastructure investments. A VoIP call center easily accommodates remote agents, which can expand your available labor pool, enhance customer service and reduce overhead costs. By converging voice and data traffic, you also reduce operating costs and simplify call center administration.
