Avaya extends contact centre expertise to midsize businesses

GUILDFORD, UK: Avaya announced Avaya IP Office Contact Center to bring affordable, multichannel contact centre functionality to midsize businesses.

Purpose-built for the Avaya IP Office platform to enable voice, email and chat capabilities for contact centres with 5 -100 agents, Avaya IP Office Contact Center provides midsize businesses with Avaya's expertise in customer experience management in a solution that is flexible, easy to use, maintain and administer.

A contact centre offers valuable benefits to any size company by making it easier for customers to access information and resources. Customers want a low-effort, effective service experience through any channel they wish to use: An Avaya survey demonstrated that more than 80 per cent of people are likely to continue doing business with a company that provides a good experience, but 66 per cent of consumers are likely to stop spending money with a company as a result of a bad one.

For midmarket companies, however, smaller budgets and limited IT resources have challenged their ability to find true, multichannel contact centre solutions that fit their needs for affordability and low-risk integration, as well as ease of deployment and management.
