Is IP a foregone conclusion?
[by Lauren Hoyt]
lhoyt@techtarget.com

A call center expert I spoke with recently said, "IP is not an
option, it's a foregone conclusion."

As more organizations consider launching Voice over Internet Protocol
(VoIP)-based call centers or expanding their existing call centers
with VoIP technology, managers and executives are taking a close look
at the ROI for VoIP projects.

With that in mind, SearchCRM.com has new resources to help you make
the most of VoIP in your call center.
Our latest special report on VoIP call center ROI explores the call
center landscape today and features our most popular content on VoIP,
complete with analysis of this growing market and case studies of
successful VoIP implementations.

In the latest column in our Call Center Trend Watch series, Donna
Fluss explains why IP can deliver payback in 12 months or less when
used effectively in the call center. Donna also reveals how Delta Air
Lines achieved $16 million in annual telecommunications savings with
IP.

Use these resources to determine if IP is the right choice for your
call center. Or learn how to design your own business case for IP
with the tips we've provided. Finally, let us know at
lhoyt@techtarget.com what other content you'd like to see related to
VoIP in the call center.

Until next time,
