Espresso vending machines, pool tables, round the clock Internet access, free phone calls... sounds like an internet cafe? No, it's a call center. A call center is basically an office where a company's inbound and outbound calls are handled. Call centers may be small or large.
Call centers provide a number of advantages, known as "solutions" to companies. For example let's say a bank needs a call center's help in running its mortgage finance business. The bank may entrust the work to the call center. The call center representatives may receive loan applications over phone; forward the account balance and the application to the bank for further follow up, and so on. As the call center takes up this work on behalf of the bank, the bank saves a lot of time. Another call center may assist an opinion survey company. Here the call center representatives may make phone calls to people to answer survey questions and forward responses to the survey firm.
Many call centers use a range of technologies to improve performance and customer experience. One area in which call centers have been proving to be of growing importance is Business Outsourcing, in which companies contract out some of their functions to other companies as we have seen in the above two examples. As it can be expensive to maintain call center equipment and staff, many companies choose to outsource their telephone functions to an external call center. It is very common to find one call center handling the work of several customer companies engaged in diverse areas of business. Many of them take advantage of time zones in different states and countries.
With the advent of the World Wide Web, voice recognition software applications, e-commerce and the demand for better customer service, call centers are booming throughout the US and the world.
