Now more than ever, companies are painfully aware of how important it is for them to remain as agile and flexible as possible. In a world where customers expect more from the companies they buy from, on-premises contact centres simply don’t give brands the same freedom to grow and adapt.

CCaaS, on the other hand (Contact Centre as a Service), supports companies in building the contact centre perfect for them, with a flexible, cloud-based environment. Through CCaaS, companies can finally create the ideal contact centre, complete with support for remote working staff, and access to amazing features, like AI and machine learning.
