Telefocus uses ’future-proof’ call centre software service
Contact centres are increasingly looking for the flexibility of being
able to buy the call centre functionality that they need, only when they
need it, allowing them to keep up with changing market demands whilst
carefully managing budgets.
Telefocus, part of the Hertfordshire Ltd Group of companies,
delivers call centre services to clients in sectors including consumer
credit, financial services and the mail order market and has recently
invested in the rostrvm call centre software suite. The
rostrvm multimedia contact management solution enables
Telefocus to retain the investment already made in its existing
infrastructure whilst enhancing it and providing a powerful technology
platform upon which to grow and diversify.
Telefocus has chosen to make a significant capital commitment to the
new contact management suite for its primary business requirements, but was
looking for a more flexible approach to future expansion and multi-media
delivery. Rostrvm Solutions’ pay-for-use software service allows Telefocus
to match costs to revenue: it can ‘scale up’ and add more agents to its
operation or ‘scale down’ at any time, depending on customer demand and call
traffic. It also enables the business to test new technology and push the
boundaries of its client offering. This approach gives Telefocus the
commercial flexibility of a hosted offering but, as the technology is
completely under their control, gives Telefocus complete control and the
ability to deliver bespoke services to its clients.
Neil Taylor, Managing Director of Telefocus, says, “We needed
future-proof technology to provide the business with commercial flexibility
in support of future growth, but we also wanted more direct control over
that technology – the previous hosted technology services did not give our
in-house IT support team the ability to deliver the bespoke service that
clients demand.”
Ken Reid, Marketing Director at Rostrvm Solutions, commented,
“Rostrvm provides a ‘future-proof’ software service where contact centres
can access software as a service on a ‘pay as you go’ basis or choose to buy
it outright according to the current demands and future needs of the
business. Telefocus has chosen a balance of the two by adopting our flexible
package on top of their significant capital commitment. Our modular software
package can be easily changed as business needs change.”
