Call Center Technology
Demystified
Former Vanguard consultants Lori Bocklund and Dave Bengtson
cut through the techno-speak to serve up clear, concise
explanations of call center technologies with their new
book, Call Center Technology
Demystified: The No Nonsense Guide to Bridging
Customer Contact Technology, Operations and Strategy.
Covering everything from call routing and management
reporting packages to advanced multimedia services, customer
relationship management systems, and integrated information
solutions, they evaluate a myriad of
alternatives, and highlight the strengths and weaknesses of
each approach. Most importantly, they relate technology and
its implications to the organizations, processes, and
business strategies it supports.
