What is CCaaS?

CCaaS, or “contact center as a service”, refers to call center software that is hosted in the cloud rather than on-premise. A CCaaS solution eliminates the need for in-house servers, maintenance, and software upgrades. This, in turn, eliminates significant expenses on operations and personnel while still giving your call center access to powerful call center technology and communication channels to deliver exceptional customer experiences. Powerful contact center solutions and functionality, once accessible to only the largest enterprises and businesses, are now accessible to businesses of all sizes.

Why CCaaS?

Investing in a cloud call center solution is often lower than their traditional, on-premise contact center counterparts. There are substantial savings to cost and increases in ROI that can be felt by switching to a CCaaS solution. Some benefits include: 

  • Lower Upfront Investment: The initial costs for a cloud-based CCaaS are lower than installing phone lines or dedicated computer networks that typically power a traditional call center.
  • Reduced Personnel Costs:  Technology like chat, automated routing and other communication channels help businesses serve customers faster with fewer agents.
  • Fewer Maintenance Costs: Cloud-based CCaaS solutions require less maintenance than in-house networks that deal with outages, unplanned repairs and other potential issues.  
  • Reduced Downtime: CCaaS solutions minimize downtime and increase reliability because there’s no need for repair, maintenance or hardware installation.
  • Ability to Support Remote Workforce: Cloud-based CCaaS allows you to balance remote, in-person and hybrid workers with one streamlined solution.
  • Better Workforce Management: Workforce and performance management tools maximize call center productivity and improve key performance indicators (KPIs). 
  • Easier Supervision: CCaaS has enhanced supervision features that allow managers to make better decisions, thanks to reporting, automatic suggestions and tracking. 
  • Easy Access to the Best Technology: CCaaS solutions give you access to the most advanced call center technology without worrying about upgrading hardware, installing new software or employing an on-site maintenance team.
  • Scalability Up and Down: Unlike traditional call centers that require hiring additional employees or expensive hardware and software to meet increased needs, CCaaS solutions let you make adjustments, add features and install updates with minimal effort.
  • Monthly Updates: CCaaS can combine with the most advanced information technology service management (ITSM) technologies to offer system updates, helping companies enhance and automate their service management capabilities.

Contact Center v.s. Call Center

In the customer experience industry, many businesses often get call centers and contact centers mixed up. Call centers focus on incoming and outgoing voice calls, which often severely limit how a business can communicate with it’s customers. Call centers may not be able to provide as modern and dynamic of a customer service as businesses need to adapt to the new digital age. 

Contact centers are much more capable and involve numerous channels, including email, web chat, video calls, messenger apps, text messaging, and more. Contact centers offer more options for customers and provide a more dynamic customer experience, leading to higher customer satisfaction and a more modern customer experience.

Omnichannel v.s. Multichannel Capabilities

Omnichannel and multichannel are two different types of call center platforms and can alter how your contact center performs customer interactions.

In a multichannel contact center, different communication channels are siloed and there is friction in the customer experience. There is not a single customer journey, since they need to start from the beginning when they try to connect on another channel. This disrupts the customer experience and can lead to a disjointed, negative customer journey.

An omnichannel call center platform allows customers to switch between any channels seamlessly, all while the agent is following the context of the conversation. This means when customers switch to another communication channel, they can pick up right where they left off with the agent. This creates a more personalized, seamless customer experience.

What Industry Regulations Should CCaaS Comply With?

Because call center software can be deployed in a wide variety of industries, varying from financial institutions to retail stores to healthcare providers, it is important that the call center software is secure and able to comply with the different regulations that are present in these industries.For a contact center focused on the healthcare industry, call centers need to focus on HIPAA. For a contact center focused on processing payment information, call center software needs to be compliant with standards set by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, or PCI DSS. For call centers focused on outbound dialing, call center software needs to be compliant with regulations set by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, or TCPA.Finally, all call center software should be SOC 2 compliant.

What Are Some Good KPIs to Track in Your Call Center Software Solution?

Measuring key performance indicators, or KPIs, in a call center software solution is a requirement for call centers that want to optimize performance and improve workplace efficiency, all while improving customer satisfaction. The first KPI to track in the contact center is the average time to answer. Average time to answer is a metric that evaluates the amount of time that an inbound interaction needs until it is answered by an agent. Another KPI is the average abandonment rate, which measures the number of callers that are disconnected before they can reach an agent. First call resolution, or FCR, is an important measurement that determines a call center’s ability to resolve customer issues on the first interaction. Average idle time is the idle time that an agent spends. Finally, average hold time is the amount of time that a customer is put on hold during an interaction, which plays a role in contributing to overall call length. 

Improving KPIs in the call center means having an effective platform that can support omnichannel capabilities as well as advanced call center technology.

Frequently Asked Questions

Omnichannel contact center as a services (CCaaS) is the next generation in how businesses communicate with customers and clients. In a traditional multichannel system, many channels of communication, like voice call, email, texting, and more, are bolted on to an older legacy system. This creates a disjointed experience for both the customer and agent, as the customer and agent have to jump through multiple hurdles to have communication across multiple channels.

On an omnichannel CCaaS, all of these channels are united and integrated into one seamless journey.
