In order to stay competitive in business, it is essential to have a choice of suppliers so that you are always able to source the best prices, and this is particularly true in the telecommunications industry where prices can fluctuate considerably between providers every month for landline and mobile calls.

What is Outsourcing? What are the Benefits for the Sales and Customer Service Functions?

/ For Call Centres, Interconnect, Telecoms & Data

Outsourcing is the process of hiring an independent organisation to carry out a business process which was previously performed internally. Outsourcing is very common and is used in a great variety of industries, from animations to IT. It's a useful and valuable way for a company to spend its money, as often it allows that company to focus on more important aspects of their work, saving time and money. For example, someone running an online shop may be more concerned with providing good-quality clothing on time than learning how to create and manage the website, and so would find a separate IT company to do this. Essentially, it's like paying your big brother to do your Maths homework so you can spend more time doing your History project. One particularly common form of outsourcing is placing companies' call centres abroad, typically in countries such as India.

Over the past couple of decades, we have seen the call centre boom take place in India as centres moved there from more developed countries like the UK.

In the UK, the average salary for a worker in a call centre is around £12,500 per year, whereas in India this is just £1,200. The boom was also encouraged within India as it was seen by many as a road to development and a good opportunity for graduates to find work. There is also the wealth of English-speaking workers, with more in India than in the UK and USA combined.

What Is A Virtual Call Centre?

/ For Call Centres, Telecoms & Data

A virtual call centre is a concept whereby call centre agents do not operate from a single location, but are geographically dispersed instead of operating from work stations within their employer's premises. Typically this scenario works by having all of your call centre agents working from home, or alternatively in smaller groups. This setup doesn't have any impact on the ability of a customer being able to contact one of your contact centre, as calls will automatically be distributed to the remote locations wherever they may be. Many organisations choose this model for a variety of business benefits, including:
