Where can we get access to additional information for the Virtual Contact Centre?

We don’t use a CRM currently, how does that work with your Call Centre?

The 8x8 Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution is perfect for businesses that do not already use a CRM. Providing the ability to:

  • Deliver screen pops of critical customer information to make every agent interaction more efficient.
  • Solve customer problems more quickly and increase customer satisfaction.
  • Integrate and combine information from other software and sources on the same screen.

Is there a maintenance contract with hosted?

As our hosted phone systems are managed within the cloud there is no on-site hardware that’s required to be maintained. The phone system is continually upgraded, benefiting you as our client.

Is speech analytics available with Virtual Contact Centre?

8x8 Speech Analytics searches customer interactions for compliance, customer insights, and agent performance purposes. Now companies have the visibility needed in order to:

  • Boost productivity and agent performance through more productive coaching

  • Reduce costs associated with agent churn by immediately identifying and rectifying problem areas

How Quickly Can Hosted be deployed?

Our Horizon or 8x8 hosted systems can be deployed and ready within 5 working days from point of order. Number porting and data connectivity will take longer.

How easy is it to move offices on Hosted?

Plug and play hardware quite simply means unplugging from one site and connecting to another site. Providing you have internet connectivity without restrictive firewalls or routers our hosted handsets will work from anywhere across the world.

Do we have an option to add IVR to Virtual Contact Centre?

8x8’s VCO has powerful IVR capabilities that helps businesses identify calls and route them correctly, inform the customer, reduce costs and manage changes easily.

Can we make changes to the hosted system ourselves?

We empower our customers through training and on-going support to make all configurational changes themselves. From building hunt groups to redesigning auto attendants our customers have the same level of access as we do.

Can I use my own IP handsets?

Whilst Horizon will only authorise our provided hardware through Cisco, Polycom and Yealink currently 8x8 is somewhat different. 8x8 will work with most major IP phone providers. Furthermore, both our hosted phone solutions are provided with a softphone client, removing the need for hardware altogether.

Can I have an Auto Attendant on Hosted?

Auto attendants are included within our hosted phone systems as standard. Furthermore, we empower our customers to access the platform and make changes to their Auto Attendant in real-time.

8×8 Virtual Office Integration with Outlook

Virtual Office integration with Microsoft allows you to place outbound calls, receive incoming calls, and schedule Virtual Office meetings using your Microsoft Outlook email client. Just click to place calls right from an email or your Outlook contacts list.

8×8 Virtual Office Integration with Office 365
