What is a 'hosted contact centre'?
Unlike a traditional contact centre which often costs over £100,000 to set-up, a 'hosted contact centre' uses a remote (virtual) telephony system to provide the links and call plan intelligence between your caller and your agents.
There is no capital expenditure and you only pay 'on-demand'.
All your agent needs is a telephone and a PC with fast internet connection. Agents can therefore be based in multiple centres and/or work from home.
NewVoiceMedia's platform, ContactWorld', is based on our proprietary Telco-grade SoftSwitch and high-speed internet links.

Hosted Contact Centre
Introduction
Hosted Contact Centres are the most cost effective way to set-up and operate a contact centre - they involve minimal set-up costs, provide total flexibility to scale up and down in capacity as your business evolves, deliver the most powerful performance (because our solutions are used by many customers you have access to more than you could probably otherwise afford), and you only pay for what you use at the end of the month. It makes great sense!
Hosted Contact Centre Benefits
- Move from Capital Expenditure to 'On-Demand' Model. You won't need large ANY hardware or software investments and so you can eliminate large upfront capital expenditure. Instead, you just pay for what you have used at the end of a billing period. It could save you 60% over three years! Indeed, the financing costs alone for a CPE solution can be more than our running costs!
- Reduced overall costs - we can often save you 60% over a three year period - why not let us prove it?
- Usage based pricing (Telephony as a Service) - no need to plan how many licences you need over the coming years - add and subtract agents and functionality as you need them
- Reduced Integration Costs No need for expensive systems integrators, our pre-integrated modules can be deployed in hours and are end-user configurable. If you can order something on Amazon.com you can operate our software.
- Greater functionality. Through economies of scale, our system is probably more powerful and more functional than you could afford yourself if you went down the traditional CPE hardware route. Although you may not want to exploit every feature right now, one day you may want to - and all this power is accessible at the click of a mouse. Don't forget, you only pay for what you use in any month. Features such as Call recording, CTI, PCI compliant card transactions, multi-centre wallboards are just some examples.
- Scalability and rapid changes. You have complete control your contact centre - you can modify the call plan, add/remove agents, set-up homeworkers, add CTI, interact with CRM databases in minutes, and all from any browser connected to the web. As such changes can happen in response to hourly changes in your business.
- Access to new markets and labour pools. A Hosted solution delivers calls to agents anywhere they want to work - all an agent needs is a PC, an internet connection, and a phone. Set up a team of homeworkers and you have access to a pool of labour that tend to be highly motivated and eager to work. (click here for more).
- Improved caller experience. With our solution you have the power to transform the caller experience...lines are never engaged, callers can be treated individually with their own IVRs and music selections, they can be routed to their agent, they can listen to targeted PhoneAds...

In short, it is the future of contact centre solutions. That's why companies ranging from large distributed operations such as the Royal Mail, through financial operations such as Capita and Payplan, to small franchises with only 5 agents working from home have all adopted NewVoiceMedia solutions recently...
