Contact Center Technology & Services
Our services at Strategic Contact are unique...we help clients define and execute strategy. We partner with our clients to share our expertise, to guide them to develop the best solutions and processes possible, and to educate about potential pitfalls. We wrap each of our client projects with contact center best practices - practices that only come from being in the trenches. We have years of hands-on experience working in and with large enterprises, small businesses, and federal agencies to improve call center performance.
Our clients also applaud the "framework" concept we've developed. These project frameworks serve as a foundation for many project types, guiding the thinking, design, development, and execution of the project.
While no two clients are the same, our frameworks enable us to identify and analyze common issues, and give us a format to educate clients on key factors and accelerate projects. Whether it's for technical implementation, metrics strategy, vendor evaluation, call center roadmap, or one of our other many offerings, our frameworks help our clients effectively and efficiently achieve the desired project goals.
