What is a cloud contact center?
A cloud contact center is a technology platform that hosts all the tools and services required to run an enterprise-level contact center in the cloud.
Cloud contact centers enable omnichannel and multichannel interactions through voice, email, SMS, and chat apps – from virtually anywhere – on the channels your customers use.
Cloud contact center software functionality is hosted on an internet server (rather than on-premise hardware) and enables businesses and enterprises to manage their inbound and outbound customer communications effectively and efficiently.
These cloud solutions can offer a scalable, globally connected omnichannel experience, unlike legacy, on-premise systems.
