Customer Contact Centers (Call Centers)
The following is an extract from the University of Michigan - Information Technology Central Services entitled "Customer Contact Centers (Call Centers)".
What is a Customer Contact Center?
A customer contact center (previously referred to as a Call Center) is a feature which allows a department to handle a large volume of calls in an efficient and effective manner. A customer contact center directs incoming calls to an available agent. Much like you see during fund raisers or telethons.
A customer contact center is designed for departments such as: help desks, registrar's office, admissions office, reservation desk, customer service, ticket sales, or desktop support.
In the beginning customer contact centers were designed to process telephone calls; they have now evolved to become customer contact centers, processing all types of media transactions…not just telephone calls. The customer contact center is now viewed as the core of the business due to its critical role in maximizing customer satisfaction while at the same time realizing efficiency.
The integral parts of a customer contact center consist of:
- representatives who handle customer requests (agents)
- management personnel
- technology to handle customer requests, including the routing, treatment, and fulfillment of the request (route calls to an agent with a particular level of expertise.
Goals of a customer contact center include the following:
- deliver customer satisfaction through prompt, professional, transaction handling
- control costs by using resources and technology more efficiently
- help staff work more productively
- increase profitability
Customer contact centers are designed with technology that delivers timely and quality service your customers expect.
