Keys for a successful contact center

Web Thin-clients Benefits

• Save time: by centralizing the software on a single application server, installations, updates and repairs are done much quicker, resulting in significant time savings.

• Lower cost of ownership: sending support staff to individual workstations for updates or repairs is not only time-consuming, but also very expensive. Being able to carry out changes on a single server rather than on each workstation separately, results into a substantial lowering of costs.

• Respond quicker: as all changes can be carried out in one location, the contact center can respond much faster to changing conditions. Responsiveness is a key success factor in the contact center.

• Simplify IT management: as it is not necessary to carry out changes, upgrades or installations on individual pc’s, IT management becomes much more straightforward. Furthermore, one central application server means better control over all applications the users can access.

• Hardware flexibility: because processing is done on a main server, workstation power is less important than in a client/server network, thus reducing the need to continually upgrade hardware.

• Lower risks: centralized control of an enterprise-wide application improves the application of best practices and reduces risks because all control is in the hands of a centralized authority. This also includes lower risks for failures, viruses, and so on.

• Remote access to data: users can log on from anywhere in the world, simply with a PC with an Internet connection. It is especially useful for companies who decide to delocalize or decentralize their contact centers or employ home workers or tele-workers.
