Cloud based contact centers, also known as contact center on demand, are far from a new concept, but the topic has certainly come to the forefront in the past several years due to technological advancements and the adverse economic conditions.

Contact center-on-demand solutions have gained popularity because of their ability to reduce operational costs as compared to traditional premise-based approach.

Enghouse Interactive, in association with ContactBabel (News - Alert), now offers a new research that gives organizations a comprehensive view of the many factors that businesses must consider while adopting cloud solutions for their contact center(s). It also provides them with practical insights and advice to help at every stage of the decision-making process.

Enghouse (News - Alert) Interactive provides interaction management solutions spanning structured, unstructured and self-service interactions.
