While cloud computing is still a loosely defined term, many cloud-based services are nonetheless being deployed in droves – especially in the call center industry.

Gartner has predicted an even more promising future for the cloud. It noted that worldwide cloud services revenue is poised for strong growth through 2014 when it is projected to reach $148.8 billion. Furthermore, Gartner (News - Alert) is seeing an acceleration in adoption of cloud services.

Out of the many components that comprise call center technology, call recording is an exceptional candidate to migrate as a cloud service.

Businesses such as those in direct marketing, help desk services, or those that are a contact or call center can benefit from cloud recording services as recordings can be easily moved into the cloud – allowing businesses to focus on their people and processes rather than networks, call routing, massive recording storage facilities, port mirroring and encryption.
