What is a cloud contact centre?

Cloud-based contact centres comprise a suite of tools that enable businesses to engage with customers across multiple platforms. They store data in the cloud and facilitate customer communications over the internet instead of relying on on-premises hardware like traditional call centre software.

With cloud phone systems as their backbone, the best contact centre software allows dispersed teams to take calls anywhere, on any device. These also give you access to a range of AI functionalities, empowering your agents to deliver a more efficient, effective, and personalised customer experience.

Dialpad's Ai contact centre vs. regular cloud contact centre providers

Unlike many other service providers, Dialpad owns all of its technology and has been built with a telephony-first approach. This means you won’t be at the mercy of third-party vendors to gain access to all the tools you need or suffer poor call quality, expensive routing paths, and an inconsistent call experience.

Instead, you can rely on Dialpad alone, as a truly unified UCaaS and CCaaS solution, to provide high-quality and reliable VoIP services alongside a full range of contact centre features and functionalities.

In fact, Dialpad’s native artificial intelligence is an industry leader in real-time call transcription—it’s even more accurate than almost all leading competitors.

Dialpad is also incredibly easy to deploy, thanks to its cloud-native platform and intuitive self-configuration. You can set it up in minutes and access the platform from all devices, even if you want to use the web browser instead of downloading the app. This is because every feature is fully functional in the browser version, something other contact centre solutions can’t always guarantee.

Lastly, Dialpad is highly scalable. You can add a user to your office plan and create an account instantly. And, if you have quieter seasons and want to scale down to suit your current business needs, the process is equally simple, unlike some other cloud contact centres.

FAQs about cloud contact centres

How does a cloud contact centre work?

Unlike call centre solutions, which are limited to phone calls, good contact centre software allows agents to manage customer communications across all channels, from video conferencing to instant and SMS messaging, social media, and more. In other words, they facilitate an omnichannel approach to customer service.

The “cloud” part of the name means that this solution and its data are hosted by the cloud instead of via hardware. Communications are routed via the internet instead of traditional channels like legacy phone lines.

So, in short, cloud contact centre solutions work by leveraging VoIP technology to provide adaptable, flexible internet-based services.
