What is a virtual call center?
Unlike a traditional call center, virtual contact centers (sometimes also called remote call centers) typically consist of service agents who work remotely in different office locations or work from home.
đĄ Quick note:
Some folks may still refer to "contact centersâ as âcall centersâ but that term is used less and less now that calling isnât the only channel anymore). There's also "CCaaS," or Contact Center as a Service, which refers to the subscription-model contact center software that's becoming more popular.

Run your team of agents from anywhere with a virtual call center software
If your organization is ready to open up your hiring to include remote agents, then having virtual call center software is a must. Depending on whether you're handling incoming calls or outbound calling, or both, you may consider outbound or inbound call center softwareâbut generally, an omnichannel solution that's versatile enough to handle both is best.
If you're managing instant messaging and other channels beyond phone calls, then you might consider a virtual contact center platform instead.
Having the right software is essential to being able to do onboarding and trainingâand used together with self-service options, can help you provide excellent customer experience.

FAQs about virtual call center software
Okay, so I donât need hardwareâwhat other expenses should I be aware of when considering a cloud contact center?
Great question. There are other accessories that your work-from-anywhere call center representatives will need, like headsets (with microphone), office chairs, noise-cancelling headphones, and webcams. The most important thing though, is probably a good Internet or 5G connection.
