Effectively operating a call center is a challenging prospect that requires literacy of both technology and staff management to effectively execute, or at least it did at one point. Today, cloud-based contact centers are providing a totally new way to approach this facet of your business, providing an entry point to startups that might lack experience in deploying customer service operations otherwise.

By lowering the requirements both monetarily and technically, cloud-based call centers have managed to attract startups and veterans alike. But, the reduction of cost and IT upkeep are not the only benefits of a virtual call center. Cloud-Call centers offer flexibility, scalability and speed of deployment virtually impossible with premise based alternatives.

Being totally software based, administrators will no longer need to add devices as the staff grows, agents can be added wherever there is a sufficiently connected computer. This is especially a boon during seasonal peaks when temporary agents need to be quickly added, and also enables the hiring of remote agents, creating a hiring pool to subject matter experts that may not have been available previously.

Five9 is one of the leading providers of virtual call center suites and has boasted tremendous growth over the past half decade. The company’s expansion has been fueled by the success of their deployments, and the industry’s increasing willingness to investigate cloud options for their call center.
