Network-Based ACD & PBX Roundup 
The convergence of communications continues to create opportunities for small and medium-sized businesses. The high-priced technologies, once only within the purview of large companies, are increasingly on hand for smaller companies with fewer resources, both human and financial. The ability to combine several technologies (e.g., unified messaging, PBX, voice mail, ACD, e-mail server and Web interactions) into one system allows voice and data solutions to integrate within LAN/WAN environments. By obviating the need for heavy-duty communications hardware or a multitude of phone lines, the network-based system allows smaller organizations (or, for that matter, any size organization) to provide superior customer service at fractional costs. For example, an IP-based automated call distribution (ACD) platform permits all customer interactions (phone calls, voice and video over the Internet, chat, voice mail, e-mail, etc.) by simply providing agents with an IP or Internet-based connection. "Powered" by IP-based ACD, a company can effectively allow its CRM applications to wed consumers, agents, online and offline business processes via Web sites, Intranets, customer care centers and remote workers. The immediate benefits derived are productivity gains and cost savings driven by flexibility, ease of management and inexpensive applications.

Whether you are starting out fresh, upgrading or completely remodeling your communications plans and processes, the following aggregation of providers is meant as a "first step" resource for your investigations into applying these technologies to your contact/service center or help desk operations.
