Why You Must Shift to Cloud Call Center Solution?

You Must Shift to Cloud Call Center Solution

Cloud call center solutions are in use for ages, but now people are adopting it massively. If you are still thinking about whether you should shift to a cloud call center solution or not, this article will help you resolve this dilemma.

In this article, you will learn about the top 5 reasons to shift to a cloud call center solution:

1. Go remote or onsite, whichever approach you like

Cloud call center solution is your call center software installed on cloud space instead of in-house servers. It takes all IT infrastructure with this software on the cloud space. It means with the valid authority, you and your staff can access the call center software from anywhere. There are built-in security mechanisms available in major cloud hosting players such as Google Cloud, AWS (Amazon Web Server), etc. Moreover, your provider or network professional who installs the software on the cloud will enable further security walls to make sure the software, data, and their access are always well protected.

This lets you adopt a remote or in-house working environment based on your convenience. You can also shift from one to another without any extra steps. This is the flexibility of cloud software.

2. Enjoy the benefits of quick scalability

You do not use hardware to host and run your cloud call center software. Thus, scaling up the software is very easy and super fast. You can, in fact, scale up and scale down quickly. For example, if you are handling festival traffic, you can increase the capacity of handling call volume. As soon as the traffic decreases, you can scale down the capacity.

If you want to install one more instance of a call center software for another branch of your call center, you can make it live in some hours, unlike on-site call center software installation, which may take days or weeks.

3. Pay as you go

One of the amazing benefits of using a cloud call center solution is the pay as you go model. This model is not available with all cloud hosting providers, so choose one wisely. You can also take the advice of your call center software provider. For example, AWS offers the pay as you go model. Thus, you only pay for the usage of the software unlike physical servers, which demand a fixed cost.

4. Reduce maintenance expenses

The cloud call center solution setup keeps everything on the cloud. You will not have any hardware related to this software to take care of. Of course, your agents and supervisors may use computers, headphones, etc. However, there will not be physical servers to handle the software. Thus, you will not need to invest much in maintenance.

5. Adhere major compliances

Renowned cloud hosting providers know different compliances and legislation set for different software and its usage. Thus, they usually adhere to all compliances such as HIPPA, TRAI, etc. Depending on the country you use the software and the cloud hosting provider you use, you might need to take some more steps to enable these compliances. Some make them default for all.

Why VPN Access to Call Center Solution Is Not the Right Choice for Remote Work?

Avoid VPN to Access Call Center Solution Remotely

A majority of call centers are adopting work from home work model similar to many businesses. There are two effective ways to securely access call center solutions from remote locations, so agents and supervisors can work from home.

  1. Access call center solution via VPN (Virtual Private Network)
  2. Use cloud call center solution

Generally, accessing call center software via a VPN sounds like an easy option, but let me tell you, it is not the right thing to do.

Let me explain the top reasons to avoid using VPN access to the call center software:

1. Waste of time

People are adopting remote solutions because of the pandemic faced in the world. Majorly businesses are in ongoing mode and they want to resume the operation earliest possible. Thus, it is necessary for businesses to reduce time overhead. To set up a VPN access to a call center solution, one needs to wait for some weeks unlike using a cloud call center solution that can be up and running within some hours.

Furthermore, you need to train teams to use VPN access to work remotely, and then, agents and managers also need to set up a VPN which would take 30 to 60 minutes at minimum, which further waste significant time.

2. Poor quality of service

In any call center, QoS (Quality of Service) is very important. Customers must not hear degraded voice quality. Also, they should not face call disconnect issues due to bad line. With the VPN based remote solution, unstable connection and poor call quality are often experienced by team members.

3. Scalability issues

Call centers have started working with limited staff even if working from home. Thus, you might start working with some agents and managers on a few campaigns. It means there are fewer members and fewer calls to handle.

However, gradually, you would increase agents as well as calls may get an increase. Here, you need to scale up the capacity of your call center solution. VPN needs to get set up for more users and more calls, it is a time consuming process and you cannot quickly scale up call center capacity which may hamper your business.

4. Waste of money

VPN setup has to be configured by experts only and it is a time consuming job, so it will be expensive to set up a VPN for call center solution access. Moreover, you need to train agents and managers to use it securely which further wastes time on technology training.

Also, the maintenance and operational cost of a VPN based system is quite high compared to a cloud solution which lets you enjoy cost benefits.

5. Temporary investment

As we all know a majority of call centers are adopting work from home model because they want to keep staff safe from the Coronavirus. All resources invested in VPN would be wasted once your resume working on-premises when the Coronavirus gets under control. Thus, investment in VPN would be wasted.

Thus, instead of investing in a VPN, you better get a work from home add-on, a call center dialer mobile app, or a cloud call center solution. Contact us to know more.

Tips to Use Skills based Routing Efficiently

Tips to Use Skills based Routing Effectively

Almost all modern call center software is equipped with a variety of call routing rules to increase agents’ productivity and customer satisfaction. Skill based routing is one of the advanced call routing features that will let you utilize the full potential of your agents. That’s the reason almost all call center solutions come with this feature.

Having skill based routing feature doesn’t finish your job. You have to take certain steps to make the most out of it. To help you assure that you use your skill based routing efficiently. Here is a step wise guide.

1. Build a skill set and map it to the agents

Each call center would need different types of skills in its agents. Some skills can be taught as part of training programs and some are prerequisites in an agent before awarding him a job. Your agents will have multiple skills such as, speaking multiple languages, taking care of different types of concerns, etc. You should make a list of skills that are most important to handle calls effectively and map those to the agents that hold those skills.

2. Create call routing rules for skill based routing

The skill based routing automatically route the call to the most skilled agent, but for that, you have to define the call routing rules. When you start using a call center solution, it will not know the details of your agents and their skills. Thus, you have to configure rules for the same. You can take the help of your provider to set these rules for you.

3. Monitor and Fine-tune

Don’t just sit back after setting the skill based routing; to assure it is working at its best, you must monitor the call logs and voice recordings. Review how it is going. A well configured skill based routing will show the following results in the call reports:

  • Reduced hold time
  • Reduced call transfer ratio
  • Reduced call handling times
  • Increased first call resolution (FCR)

If you see you are not achieving noteworthy results, you can reconfigure the skill based call routing rules and also arrange training sessions for your team to increase and improve their skill set.

Conclusion

These are the three steps that you should follow in a step-wise manner to assure your skill based routing is working effectively.
