3CLogic's Contact Center Blog

No matter what your business does, or what industry you are in, you are going to have competitors. To be the best, you have to have the best product. But, when you see your competitors succeeding publicly, competitors who maybe have better (1) funding, (2) marketing campaigns, or (3) a competitive advantage (such as an additional service offering, product feature, etc); it’s hard not to go on the offensive. Just remember to keep in mind these rules of combat so that your business succeeds while playing fair. Your contact center is going to be your main line of defense. 

Any contact center needs a dialing system, whether it be a traditional phone line or even a newfangled CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) or VoIP-based application which runs through your computer. Vocal communication has come a long way in the past few years with all these technological advances.

You hear a scrape against the pavement. It is not a footstep, but rather the sound of something being dragged. You’ve just made your commute to work and are walking through the parking garage. A figure looms in the distance, barely visible. It’s still dark outside in the pre-dawn hours of the morning. The hairs on the back of your neck prick up.

You walk faster, shaking your head and telling yourself not to over-think it. It’s probably just someone else that works in your office building. Your morning coffee hasn’t kicked in and this could just be the remnants of a nightmare.

You already know that switching to a cloud-based software solution for your contact center can be the best move your business can make. The process is easy, swift, and takes almost no downtime for your customers. Besides, there are so many benefits to conducting business from the cloud, it would be silly not to consider it.
