CCaaS uses a variety of advanced technologies to help resolve customer issues in a quick and efficient way. It also tracks customer engagement and logs performance data, which is invaluable to businesses looking to experiment with different operational approaches.
A market study found that the global CCaaS market is projected to grow from $4.07B in 2021 to $11.76B by 2028, and its potential for businesses is clear. CCaaS solutions are most commonly deployed as a cloud-based customer service solution in customer contact centres. With them, it’s easy for contact centres to deploy new features, functions, and channels both quickly and effectively.
Simplicity for customer service personnel
Still confused about what a cloud contact center in the UK is? Think of a traditional call centre – an office filled with hundreds of people wearing headsets answering customer phone calls all day. CCaaS is an alternative to investing in on-site technology which needs maintenance and up-dating. It can fit in as part of more traditional office based call centre or expand operations to hybrid or at home working models and extends communications to multiple channels, not just phone calls.
CCaaS providers can handle a huge amount of customer enquiries at once, making them a dream for businesses that are on a mission to scale. Contact centres can collate enquiries from multiple channels, meaning that regardless of whether a customer makes contact via a chat function, social media, text message or a phone call, the communication data is available in one place for the customer service provider to access.
