The Current Analysis Contact Center Solutions module focuses on companies that deliver systems, software, and services to support customer interaction, both in North America and Europe. These vendors and service providers offer customer-facing solutions with which contact centers manage both inbound and outbound interactions in the form of traditional telephone calls, e-mail, voice mail, fax, text messaging, and interactive chat. Traditional systems are built on automated call distribution (ACD) functions linked with PBX systems over either a TDM or converged IP environment. Coverage areas include: • Large Contact Center Solutions - Large contact centers comprise the biggest segment of this market and are traditionally defined as supporting more than 150 (North America) or 75 (EMEA) concurrent agents. Large contact center solution developers provide distributive and sophisticated solutions. They also provide integration into enterprise wide business processes through Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Communications-Enabled Business Process (CEBP) structures, as well as utilize newer technologies such as unified communications. • Mid-size Contact Center Solutions – Mid-sized contact centers support between approximately 50 and 150 (North America) or between 25 and 75 (EMEA) concurrent agents. Although mid-sized contact centers are generally less complicated than solutions targeted at larger environments, many mid-sized solutions provide a very comprehensive set of functionality that favorably compares that found in large contact centers solutions. • Hosted Contact Center Solutions – Contact centers provide customer facing access points from which companies manage inbound and outbound interactions. Hosted contact centers offer the same basic functionality as on-premise solutions, that is, ACD, IVR, multimedia agent desktops, and CTI. But hosted contact centers are delivered as services, meaning that enterprises or SMBs do not own the equipment and that the contact center equipment/infrastructure is not deployed as CPE, rather it is located in the service provider network with operational control still maintained by the enterprise or SMB. |
