And because of all the other ways customers engage with companies \u2013 phone, email, text, social \u2013 every member of the business has the potential to be involved in engaging a customer directly and therefore needs to have the right tools. This expanded scope of customer interactions across the entire business needs tools that provide consistency, continuous improvement, value added reporting and scale.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Dunphy said, &#034;Because the future of work has essentially been fast tracked, we&#8217;re seeing big demand for integrating contact centres with Microsoft Teams for customers deploying Teams Calling capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Direct routing means contact centre agents can make and receive calls within Microsoft Teams and it supports customer interaction work streams by acting as the hub for internal and external customer connection across all modes of communication including chat, video meetings and calling.&#034;<\/p>\n<p>CommsChoice cloud-based software \u2013 Insights &#8211; provides access to features such as call recording, IVR, supervisor, reporting, and wallboards. The call recording feature captures incoming and outgoing customer calls and stores them securely, and in accordance with all compliance standards. Calls are stored in the same location as the Microsoft Office 365 tenancy, which is domiciled so local data compliance is also assured.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Dunphy said, &#034;We have a range of call centre options to suit companies with either an on-premises or cloud set up including native, semi native and hybrid contact centre solutions. Teams also enables &#8216;work from anywhere&#8217; and will help ensure consistent and constantly improved customer engagement from any device, any channel, location or time zone.&#034;<\/p>\n<p><b><b>ENDS <\/b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>About CommsChoice<\/b><\/p>\n<p>CommsChoice Group provides cloud communications for business.
