Three out of every four owners and managers of contact centers responded that when the time comes to update or replace their existing call center software platform, they would choose a cloud-based or hosted service if given the choice. according to the findings of a recent research that was finished in June 2013 and included 150 contact center operators who are now using premise-based call center software. According to the findings of a survey that was carried out by promero, a supplier and reseller of contact center software, it was discovered that there is a significant tendency to migrate away from premise-based solutions. When asked why they would pick the cloud solution, the most common response is that they feel cloud contact center software is either more user pleasant, more efficient, or more cost effective. First, let’s talk about the many methods of software deployment. Software that is used in a cloud contact center is program that is owned by the host provider, controlled and installed at the facility of the host provider, who then leases the usage of the software to end users. software that is owned by the end user, controlled at the facility of the end user, and installed there is the premise. Hybrid software is software that is owned by the end user but is maintained and deployed either at the facility of the end user themselves or at the facility of a third party provider. According to the findings of the Promero survey, operators of contact centers said that premise software is becoming more expensive to administer and run internally. Call center operators believe that moving to ‘off premise’ solutions will ultimately give them the ability to rapidly adapt to new technology with moderate costs associated with its implementation. This is despite the fact that the alternative option of cloud and hybrid deployments is available to them, along with a qualified management services group. They were of the opinion that the total cost of ownership (tco) would swiftly overshadow other considerations and sway the choice in favor of cloud or hybrid solutions. Further issues about stability, scalability, user uptake, and security were answered as well. When questioned about their worries about data security, one out of every four contact center operators stated concerns regarding data security as a main consideration in deciding the sort of call center configuration they most like to utilize. This was done in response to the question. Almost all of the contact center operators in this group responded that they would choose a premise-based call center solution if given the choice. When picking a premise solution, some of the other most often stated criteria are maintenance windows, software upgrades, interaction with third-party applications, and service level promises from third-party cloud suppliers. This group is of the opinion that total cost of ownership should not be the major consideration when choosing software and its deployment types.
