Frequently-asked questions

  • What is a contact centre?

    A contact centre is a system for any organisation needing to stay in touch with multiple customers, supplier and stakeholders to do so in an integrated way. It provides the means to direct calls to the right person, manage queues and waiting times and track conversations. It also enables responses to be recorded.

    Contact centre solutions help managers by providing KPI service performance management information, with intuitive dashboards, easy to implement answering option trees, skills-based call routing options, and additional services such as full analytics and reporting as well as compliance call recording, translation and transcription.

  • Why use MS Teams for your contact centre?

    Microsoft Teams is the hub for teamwork that brings together calling, chat and meetings. However, it comes into its own when combined with other integrations on a single interface, such as with social media messaging management, contact centre and CRM.

    This enables users to get the most from their Microsoft investment, as for a small amount of extra outlay, they will get very useful additional features to maximise their communications capacity and also quality.

  • Why use a call centre?

    Call centres are essential for any organisation needing to stay in touch with its customers, whether over the phone or via traditional or social media messaging platforms. Call centres employ agents to deal with customer queries, sales, support and trouble-shooting. Call centre solutions enable skills-based call routing, answering option trees, performance management and more.

  • What is the role of a contact centre?

    Contact centres are essential for any organisation needing to stay in touch with its customers, whether over the phone or via traditional or social media messaging platforms. Call centres employ agents to deal with customer queries, sales, support and trouble-shooting. Call centre solutions enable skills-based call routing, answering option trees, performance management and more. Supervisors can observe, track and take part in calls, intervening when needed to solve problems.

  • Call centre vs contact centre?

    A call centre and a contact centre are essentially the same thing. Call centre is the term most used by the public, as people are used to calling in to speak to an agent within larger organisations, but in fact they are known in the business as contact centres because they deal with many types of contact, not just calls - emails, messaging, reporting and customer service history. This is where CRM integration is an essential part of a call, or contact, centre - it helps manage the whole customer-facing operation and interaction.

  • What are the main contact centre roles and responsibilities?

    Contact centres employ agents to take calls and respond to requests. They will however have a range of skills, often depending on the employer. A health service agent will be required to have a high level of medical knowledge, sometimes specialist, as with mental health service lines or 111/999 calls. Meanwhile, a technical support agent needs to be an expert in the technical product or service they are supporting. Sometimes agents need specific language skills, and calls can be routed accordingly.

    Supervisors manage staffing levels, skill levels, peak and quiet times, training needs, and make sure, by analysing the data from calls and other contacts, that customer or user groups are receiving the right level of service, in the right time frame, to meet the organisation’s performance indicators (KPIs).

    Contact centres or call centres used to be large rooms full of desks and telephones. Now, agents and supervisors can be based anywhere, especially if their system uses Microsoft Teams as a hub.

  • How much does a contact centre cost?

    Modern contact centres or call centres are subscription based, especially if they use Microsoft Teams as a hub, with contact centre functionality built in. This has the benefit of future-proofing the system so users can be added and removed, and updates are automatic. The customer will pay dependent on the complexity of their needs, and the number of users. Some contact centres are quoted per agent, and others by the number of call queues needed.
