According to a recent article from Smart Customer Service, outbound and inbound call centers are benefiting financially from VoIP technology. While traditional telecommunication companies charge higher rates for call centers in order to make money in the high traffic environment, VoIP technology enables Call Centers to drastically reduce switching and resource overhead. Resulting in offer rates that are 30 to 80 percent lower. This adds up to a significant savings of thousands of dollars per month for active call centers, based on the article noted above.
