Avaya Extends Contact Center Expertise to Midsize Businesses

AvayaAvaya today announced Avaya IP Office Contact Center to bring affordable, multichannel contact center functionality to midsize businesses. Purpose-built to enable voice, email and chat capabilities for contact centers with 5 -100 agents, Avaya IP Office Contact Center provides midsize businesses with Avaya’s expertise in customer experience management in a solution that is flexible, easy to use, maintain and administer.

In today’s business environment, a contact center offers valuable benefits to any size company by making it easier for customers to access information and resources to meet their needs.    Research shows that up to 82 percent of consumers will buy more from companies that make it easy to do business, whereas 73 percent of millennials will stop doing business with a company after one bad experience. Regardless of the size of a company, customers want a low-effort, effective service experience through any channel they wish to use.

“Contact center operations are highly beneficial for building and maintaining customer relationships. Until now, however, complexity and cost put them out of the reach of many midsize businesses. In Avaya IP Office Contact Center, we’ve recognized and addressed that different size contact centers tend to have different requirements. This purpose-built multichannel solution is a combination of the robust features they need, with the simplicity and value they’ve come to expect from IP Office.”
Mark Monday, vice president and general manager, Collaboration Platforms

For midmarket companies, however, smaller budgets and limited IT resources have challenged their ability to find true, multichannel contact center solutions that fit their needs for affordability and low-risk integration, as well as ease of deployment and management.

Avaya IP Office Contact Center blends the expertise gained through 50,000 contact center deployments covering more than six million agents with the company’s growing command of the midmarket. With Avaya IP Office Contact Center, midsize companies can now simply and effectively manage inbound and outbound multichannel customer interactions.

“Traditional ‘call center’ solutions can’t support the demand for multichannel contact options, such as email and web chat. That said, complexity and cost can be barriers for midsize companies. Avaya IP Office Contact Center enables us to offer new and existing IP Office customers a comprehensive feature set at an affordable price. With just a few part numbers it is simple to configure and installs quickly and easily. Now our customers are able to serve their customers – faster, efficiently and affordably. ”
Craig Allan, COO, Mountain West Telecom
