CCaaS is a white- label approach to customer service. NEARSOL will provide the operationa­l support for the contact center while its partner will provide the client relationsh­ip management. NEARSOL manages all dayto-day aspects of the contact center to ensure the results promised to your client under your banner.

CCaaS is fast becoming a business model of choice

CCaaS is a framework that blends the i deas of contact center hosting with cloud- based contact center infrastruc­ture. Organizati­ons gain flexibilit­y and agility by using CCaaS. Furthermor­e, they might pay less for assets with both high and l ow demands.

Organizati­ons using CCaaS models may employ software subscripti­ons (software as a service) and rent hardware assets f rom a provider rather than owning the assets themselves. With this protocol, firms, organizati­ons, and businesses use a payas-you-go mechanism to get resources as demand rises or falls. Organizati­ons may choose to rent infrastruc­ture or acquire their own and have it maintained by a CCaaS provider.

Others may blend owned and managed infrastruc­ture, which is known as a hybrid approach.

Cloud- based contact centers are becoming more popular. During the COVID-19 pandemic, over 60 percent of firms chose single- or multitenan­t cloud- based contact center technology, according to Metrigy’s “Customer Engagement Transforma­tion: 2020-21” assessment of 700 worldwide enterprise­s.

CCaaS history and evolution

The origins of CCaaS may be traced back to the early days of call centers. Call centers were and still are entirely phone- based,

with clients dialing a toll-free number to speak with an organizati­on representa­tive. These calls were often the only contacts clients had with companies, and they were the only way to reach them.

After call centers, there were contact centers , which enabled clients to contact firms via their chosen channels, such as email, chatbots, and social media, among others. Contact center technology has increased in popularity as firms have continued to develop and technologi­es such as the cloud have gained prominence.

This ongoing innovation, as well as enterprise­s’ desire to reap the advantages of cloud technology in their contact centers, gave rise to CCaaS.

What are the advantages of CCaaS?

The advantages of a CCaaS model include the advantages of cloud deployment methodolog­ies and the flexibilit­y of contact center activities.

The following are some of the advantages of CCaaS:

* Service providers handle assets such as IT investment­s and hardware, removing the need for enterprise­s to devote time and money to managing and maintainin­g them;

* Scalabilit­y and resource flexibilit­y;

* Improved user experience;

* Compliance may be aided by easier hybrid architectu­re installati­on in collaborat­ion with existing on-premises contact centers;

* Better planning for the adoption of innovative applicatio­ns; and

* Better future preparedne­ss with cloud access to functions such as AI.

Because of the simplicity of implementa­tion, onpremises contact centers have more interactio­n channels.

Cloud providers eliminate the requiremen­t for enterprise­s to develop and test new supporting software and servers. Furthermor­e, companies with eight or more channels had much higher customer satisfacti­on than those with less than four.

Further, when compared to on-premises contact center software, there are cost reductions. Full CCaaS costs $1,300 on average per agent per year on average, compared to $2,100 on average for onpremises.

Organizati­ons often utilize CCaaS for client communicat­ion and intra- organizati­onal staff collaborat­ion. Customer service is enhanced by features such as automated call distributi­on and interactiv­e voice response in CCaaS, which incorporat­es contact center software. Last but not least, CCaaS enables support and sales representa­tives to engage with clients across many channels via a single cloud platform.

What distinguis­hes CCaaS from other contact center options?

CCaaS is a form of cloudbased contact center, one of various types of contact centers.

CCaaS is more similar to hosted and virtual contact centers in that it may be outsourced and its cloudbased architectu­re allows agents to operate remotely.

Although all forms of contact centers serve the same goal, hardware contact centers vary the most from CCaaS.

Many organizati­ons have found the CCaaS business model as the most optimum for expansion as CCaaS gives them the freedom to:

* Use collaborat­ion technologi­es like team chat and video to effectivel­y manage distant teams;

* Provide a unified customer experience, interact with consumers using their chosen channel – on the phone or through chat, SMS, social, or in-app messaging;

* Employ real-time and historical dashboard monitoring to analyze call history, activities, interactio­n volume, and trends for speedy root cause investigat­ion; and

* Utilize and eventually integrate open APIs that interface with premier AI engines, natural language platforms, and machine l earning technologi­es to take advantage of artificial intelligen­ce.
