• Implementation and customization expenses are frequently greater than hardware and software price combined
• Lifetime operating and maintenance expenses exceed technology costs over time
• Difficult to maintain, modify, and upgrade without throwing more money at your solution
• Must plan scheduled downtimes in advance for maintenance, etc.
• Not easily scalable

Benefits of the Cloud Model
![Page 23: Cloud meets contact center 022013](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061222/54bfcf1e4a795901528b4570/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Reasons to Migrate to the Cloud – Situations that require companies to consider
making the switch
• Business even causes a trigger
• Current technology does not have flexibility
– Companies have infrastructure to run business; something changes in business; card stack crashes down; some event that causes you need to seek new opportunity; product reliability
• Known cost structure
![Page 24: Cloud meets contact center 022013](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061222/54bfcf1e4a795901528b4570/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Key Factors to Success • Really define your needs
– Organizational (not replicating what you are doing today; how are needs evolving over time?)
– Do your homework up front – what is driving you to seeking another solution?
– Make certain that you involve I/T or Business Unit (if driven by I/T) so you have all stakeholders invested in solution – Needs are documented and considered early on (you don’t want
I/T to find out too late and throw a monkey wrench into it; bring them in early to the project • Not with platform itself but it becomes infighting within business units
themselves • Fail to recognize the importance of I/T in the evaluation equation • Make certain that provider you choose has I/T skills to supplement
![Page 25: Cloud meets contact center 022013](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061222/54bfcf1e4a795901528b4570/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Cloud and Integration
• How well do cloud solutions work with existing applications (CRM, Analytics, Call Recording, Workforce Management, etc.) – Look for someone that has depth of bench internally
– Can support a client of your size and your applications; if custom interfaces have to be designed (custom systems/home grown) what it will cost and how that will affect decision
– Does provider have actual experience with integrations? References? Systems outside of their hosted/cloud solutions they provide
![Page 26: Cloud meets contact center 022013](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061222/54bfcf1e4a795901528b4570/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Commitment Tine
• If I go with a cloud based solution, how long am I committed for?
– Typically for one year; in most cases, monthly agreements are available; good for outsourced call center/seasonal operations with high fluctuation of agents
![Page 27: Cloud meets contact center 022013](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061222/54bfcf1e4a795901528b4570/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Home Based Agents
• How do cloud based systems facilitate the use of home based agents? – Agent location doesn’t matter
• Only need high speed internet connection
– Easy integration
– Flexibility
– Virtual desktop (agent will always have latest upgrades)
– Scalability (on-boarded/trained quickly)
– Training can be done online; chat, email, tier tutoring
![Page 28: Cloud meets contact center 022013](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061222/54bfcf1e4a795901528b4570/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Biggest Drivers to Move
• What are biggest drivers for moving customer interactions to a cloud based service? – Biggest reason is that there is one piece of
infrastructure that is ‘aging out’ where mfg. is not providing support; practical motivation for moving to cloud platform
– Benefits of cloud platform are very obvious; proven over studies and actual use; scalability; pricing, cost efficiency; proven over time;
– Will this integrate with _______? What if it doesn’t work with the IVR we just put in? The CRM? Complex integrations w/o rollbacks (from vendor)
![Page 29: Cloud meets contact center 022013](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061222/54bfcf1e4a795901528b4570/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Size Threshold Decision
• Is there a size threshold that should make your decision? – Seen it based around # of agent positions rather than
call volume
– 25-50-75 agent positions; historically you wouldn’t want your 1000 agent call center in the cloud
– What are your cloud options? What does it mean to their organization? Does that mean that everyone ends up in the cloud? NO
– There is a private cloud option; trending 100-200-300 agent call center is growing towards the cloud
![Page 30: Cloud meets contact center 022013](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061222/54bfcf1e4a795901528b4570/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Outbound Notifications
• How will multimedia outbound notifications be accommodated with a cloud solution? – Proactive outbound notifications (boosts customer
satisfaction) • Let me know when my plane will be delayed • Let me know when my package will be delivered • But only let me know when I want to know and how I want
to know
– Pay by transaction rather than by the minute – How do you handle an outbound transaction that
turns into an inbound transaction w/o loss of service or information (effectiveness)
![Page 31: Cloud meets contact center 022013](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061222/54bfcf1e4a795901528b4570/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Chat
• How will ‘click for assistance’ Chat for customer service turn it into a chat session or a live phone call (another tool in your bag of tricks) to help customers
• Many cloud solutions have chat capability
