Predictive dialing / Preview dialing
Predictive dialing can be done in call centers that use a computerized system to automatically dial a batch of numbers. Predictive diallers automatically match answered calls with available call center agents, and discard calls that are unanswered or that go to disconnected or invalid numbers.
Preview diallers on the other hand are less sophisticated automated dialling processes that are aimed after simple productivity increase resulted from automation of repetitive tasks.
Avacs consulting helps you decide which one, and how is right (sufficient) for you.
Outsourcing & Hosting
Call center outsourcing involves the redirection of contact center services from providers within the corporate structure to an outside provider. Outsourcing often has been touted by consultants as a cost-cutting measure for businesses that send their call center services abroad or have calls answered by individuals from their homes, although in some cases consultants may advise against outsourcing where more specific company expertise or central operation is needed.
Hosting is form of outsourcing where only the technology/equipment/software servers are outsourced/purchased as service from hosting service provider: Every other aspect of CC remains in the realm of organization. This approach is actually just the method of infrastructure provisioning and therefore almost all aspects of consulting remain in need same as for self-purchased CC.
