inContact ramps up local operations

By BERNIE CAHILES-MAGKILAT

MANILA, Philippines — inContact, the world’s largest cloud-based call center solutions provider with Asia-Pacific headquarters at the Bonifacio Global City, is ramping up its operations here to include global technical support and professional services.

“The commitment is this location is to make it our global hub. We are building our capability here,” said Brian Silverman, inContact managing director for Asia Pacific and Latin America.

inContact has already established their sales and marketing and are in the process of its moving in its global technical support and professional services.

Silverman said its long-term positioning in the Philippines as its sole investment outside of the U.S. is mainly due to the country’s huge BPO sector and very good technical people.

“We have 900 customers now using inContact solutions, but more and more because we have very competent technical people here,” he said.

In terms of local call center customers, inContact is serving customers with average of 40 to 60 seat-operation although they can handle more than 2,000 seats. It has recently signed in two customers with 250 and 350 seats.

Junie Pama, country manager of inContact Philippines, cited the benefits of cloud-based call center solution to making their operations more competitive.

“The call center can be a catalyst in the Philippines to leapfrog into the global market through cloud computing,” Pama said.

“If we can enable small BPOs in the regions, people will no longer come to Manila anymore because they have the right technology there,” Pama said.

“We want to bring this to third class municipalities,” he said.

A recent study by Frost & Sullivan titled “Premise vs. Hosted Contact Center:Total Cost of Ownership Analysis” found that call centers can lower the cost of their contact handling and workforce optimization infrastructure by up to 43 percent over a five year period by using cloud-based offerings rather than installing equipment in their own facilities.

The study also found that the larger the call center is, the higher savings are with the hosted model. Over five ears, 100-seat centers averaged 23 percent savings, 250-seat centers averaged 34 percent savings, while 500 seat centers averaged 43 percent savings.

Frost & Sullivan’s new “Total Cost of Ownership” Study proves that there is a clear cost advantage of as much as 50% in selecting a cloud-based call center solution over a traditional, premise-based system. Download the Frost & Sullivan “Total Cost of Ownership” Study today.

Why Use SIP Trunking?

 

 

Deploying SIP trunking can be a big step toward simplifying your organization’s telecommunications and preparing for the latest enhancements to real-time communications. One of the primary advantages of SIP trunking is that you can consolidate your organization’s connections to the PSTN at a central site, as opposed to legacy TDM trunking, which typically requires a separate trunk from each branch site.

SIP Trunking in Lync Server

The Microsoft Lync Server SIP trunking capabilities enable the following:

  • An enterprise user, whether inside or outside the corporate firewall, can make a local or long-distance call specified by an E.164-compliant number that is terminated on the PSTN as a service of the corresponding service provider.
  • Any PSTN subscriber can contact an enterprise user inside or outside the corporate firewall by dialing a Direct Inward Dialing (DID) number associated with that enterprise user.

 

Cost Savings

The cost savings associated with SIP trunking can be substantial:

  • Long distance calls typically cost much less through a SIP trunk.
  • You can cut manageability costs and reduce the complexity of deployment.
  • Basic rate interface (BRI) and primary rate interface (PRI) fees can be eliminated if you connect a SIP trunk directly to your ITSP at significantly lower cost. In legacy TDM trunking, service providers charge for calls by the minute. The cost of SIP trunking may be based on bandwidth usage, which you can buy in smaller, more economical increments. (The actual cost depends on the service model of the ITSP you choose.)

 

SIP Trunking vs. Hosting a PSTN Gateway or IP-PBX

Because SIP trunks connect directly to your service provider, you can eliminate your PSTN gateways and their management cost and complexity. Using a SIP trunk can lead to substantial cost savings through reduced maintenance and administration.

Expanded VoIP Services

Voice features are often the primary motivation for deploying SIP trunking, but voice support alone is just the first step. With SIP trunking, you can extend VoIP capabilities and enable Lync Server 2010 to deliver a richer set of services than you can get with previous technology. For example, the same SIP trunk that delivers your telephone service and other VoIP communications services may now provide the following:

  • Enhanced presence detection for devices that are not running Microsoft Lync Server 2010 can provide better integration with mobile phones, allowing you to see when a user is on a mobile phone call.
  • E9-1-1 emergency calling enables the authorities who answer 911 calls to determine the caller’s location from his or her telephone number.
  • GPS locations can be integrated with your Location Information Server to track mobile user location.

Inbound Outbound Call Center

What is Inbound and Outbound Call Center?

An outbound call center is one in which call center agents make outbound calls to customers on behalf of a business or client. Calls made from the center can include telemarketing, sales or fund-raising calls, as well as calls for contact list updating, surveys or verification services.

An inbound call center is one that exclusively or predominately handles inbound calls (calls initiated by the customer) rather than outbound calls. A call center may handle either only inbound or outbound calls or might deal with a combination of the two.
