MobileCorp CcaaS Network Evaluation service

A key consideration in moving to a Cloud Contact Centre  from an on-premise legacy system or when adding a Cloud contact centre solution to a business, is the underlying data network compatibility and integration with existing systems.

MobileCorp offers a comprehensive network evaluation and system integration consultancy service which includes consideration of the following aspects:

  • bandwidth
  • network equipment
  • ports per user
  • internet connection
  • remote or mobile workers
  • system integration

Bandwidth

Knowing the number of users on a call centre phone system is important, but it’s even more important to know the number of concurrent calls that will be happening at any given time because it affects the bandwidth requirements.  

A good rule of thumb for determining bandwidth needs is: number of concurrent calls at peak time x 100 kilobits per second (Kbps) = bandwidth in megabits per second (Mbps) needed.

Network Equipment

Equipment plays a vital role in the ability to prioritise network traffic and the quality of voice data.

Generally, smaller organisations have more equipment options because they have fewer network requirements; however larger enterprises housing a dedicated call centre will need to consider the impact on traffic and may need to adjust networking equipment.

Ports Per User

The number of ports needed per user determines the type of phones that can be attached to the call centre phone system. With only one port per user shared by both the PC and phone, the phone model with need a built-in switch. Having two ports per user makes phone administration easier and the phones more reliable.

Internet Connections

A high upload speed will be needed to ensure audio quality. While DSL and cable modems are considered high speed, beware that data rates can be drastically impacted when used for a VoIP phone system.

Remote Or Mobile Workers

Having employees located outside the office can sometimes cause bandwidth issues. This, in turn, can lead to call quality issues, which can be especially detrimental for firms with dedicated call teams. To fix this, either increase the available bandwidth or decrease the needed bandwidth for each call, which can be accomplished with a codec.

System Integration

 Adding a VoIP-based call centre phone system to an existing technology stack means integration with other business applications.

Many call centre options have Microsoft Active Directory or LDAP integrations to minimise the stress of keeping up with passwords and for security purposes.

Also, ensure the phone system can integrate with CRM systems, like Salesforce, or customer service software, like Zendesk.

On-premise v cloud contact centre

Many of today’s contact centres are running on old technology and call software that can’t keep up with the new ways customers and businesses now communicate.

A cloud-based contact centre is a modern alternative to an on-premise contact centre using the latest in communications technology.

Businesses depending on legacy contact centre technology, are likely feeling the pain of system limitations. It can be difficult to add new channels such as SMS or Facebook Messenger, or easily update the phone menu.

When adopting a cloud solution on-premise contact centres often remain siloed from the rest of the system. This is a frustrating position to be in. It’s hard to help customers when your technology works against you.

Key factors to consider include:

Deployment

Implementing an on-premise call centre can take up to several months because companies must purchase hardware and licenses, set up the infrastructure, and find compatible software. A cloud-based call centre is a swift simple deployment that involves installing an app on a computer that functions out of the box.

Cost

Companies must determine whether they want a CapEx or OpEx model. On-premise call centres require upfront costs for hardware, licenses, and housing servers onsite. They also require onsite installations once every 5-10 years as hardware ages and technology evolves. Cloud call centres do not require an upfront hardware or infrastructure cost as long as there is a strong internet connection with sufficient bandwidth. Conversely cloud-based call centres costs are a monthly subscription per licence.

Integrations

It is possible, but difficult, to integrate an on-premise call centre with other services, mainly because of licensing and installation. Companies with experienced IT teams can make the integrations and implementations work. Conversely, cloud call centre providers intentionally create their products to integrate with existing CRM system, call script generators, helpdesk tickets, and more.

Features

On-premise call centres have voice-based features including transfer, hold, wait music, conferences, and call logging. Cloud call centres have the same traditional features, but build on them with the help of advancing technologies to feature live call monitoring, smart IVR, click-to-call, and more.

Reliability

On-premise call centres may have more stable technology to help eliminate call lag or lower call quality, but this is dependent on the quality of its technology and hardware. Cloud call centres have high call quality so long as organisations have strong, reliable internet connections.
