Zoom has Call Center Software!
well as I typically like to do. I like to hit you right away with the most valuable information, which is I’m going to give you the two scenarios or two aspects of your company that will make you guys a great fit for Zoom Contact Center. Now, this isn’t mean for sure. Obviously, there’s a lot of other stuff we’re going to talk about later in the video. And your company has a lot of your own requirements, so it’s not perfect. But if your company is using Zoom today, like you’re using Zoom for conferencing, maybe you’re using Zoom phone, That would be number one.
Zoom is a great fit, if:
Number one reason why zoom contact center call center software might be a good fit for your company. Also number two is if your call center today is pretty basic and you’re looking to elevate just a little bit like you’re not already super advanced. They’re looking to replace it with the most advanced call center solution out there. Your company actually has a call center, and right now maybe it’s just phone calls and maybe it’s just kind of some basic reporting going on. Nothing too fancy, but you are interested in seeing how you can maybe elevate your game a little bit. And in that scenario, like you have Zoom phone today and you’re looking to upgrade and get things improved a little bit, that would be a really good scenario for a Zoom phone off the top of my head. And again, a lot of other things to consider, but I think those would be two pretty good starting points.
Zoom’s most important aspects
All right. Now let’s talk about all the other aspects of call center software and how I think Zoom really stacks up.
Number one, I always say this is the most important thing is service quality, like uptime and customer service. Zoom does a great job at both of those. They have great service quality, great uptime and great customer service. Hey, I know that I never say customer service departments are perfect because you know you’re calling into customer service. But at the same time, what I look for in customer service is the majority of time. Do they fix the solution or is it like chronic problems that always keep coming back? So they do a good job of both of those things?
Also, you probably heard on my other videos, I like to talk about five year viability. Do I think that this solution is going to be around for at least five years? Because that’s kind of that technology window where we expect a good technology to be around for about five years. And yes, I think Zoom Contact Center will definitely be around for five years. I’ve seen them pumping so much money into research and development into this product over the last few years. There’s no doubt they’re fully invested in it and they’re growing it like crazy. So, yes, I think it’s got a really good chance they’re going to be around it in the next five years as much as any other competitor out there.
UX & AX experience
Now in terms of their user experience and admin experience, I think both are also really good. It’s really easy, easy for users to use. It’s not very complicated also for admins as well, very easy to use. I have heard a couple of people say that there’s so many options in there. They have so many features that from the administrative standpoint, if you’re not technical, it might be hard to understand what some of those things are. But for the most part, when it comes to call centers, most of the times the admin has a pretty good handle on that stuff. So I think they do a really good job with both user experience and admin experience. Zoom Contact Center also has an AI companion, so they’re really up to speed when it comes to AI and they’re really pushing that envelope every single month.
Something else that’s really important is omni channel zoom contact center is fully omni channel. So that includes voice, video, SMS, chat, web chat, email and social media. So they do all that stuff. So you can take all those communication channels and put them into a single pane of glass so that agents can take a call on the software one minute and then the next minute they’re interacting on a chat. So they’re fully omni channel. If that’s something your company is interested in.
IVA
Something that’s also gaining a lot of popularity out there is IVA, that’s interactive Virtual Agent. So sometimes intelligent virtual agent, depending on who you talk to, right? So what that is, that’s a bot. So that’s a voice bot or maybe a chat bot that is going to be able to interact and use AI to figure out what the person needs and maybe feed them some information right away so that you don’t have to connect to a virtual or to a real live agent. So Zoom has that. It’s I’d say their IVA is not quite as advanced with their large language model as some of the biggest contact center solutions out there, some of the biggest names. But they’re pretty good and they’re growing and they’re really enhancing that technology every single month. So they’re continuing to develop it. And it’s there. Again, like I said in the very beginning of the video, if you have a call center and you may not be looking to get to advance, but you’re looking to maybe take one step into that advanced call center realm, their IVR is just fine for that.
Quality management or quality assurance is another big category for contact center software, and Zoom does a great job with that. So what that is, is that’s customer sentiment analysis, that’s call scoring. The one thing I’d say that they don’t have that I’ve seen other providers have, that’s pretty cool. They don’t have automated see SAT scores, customer satisfaction scores, but they do have automated call scoring and they have really good sentiment analysis so they can evaluate agents and how your agents are talking.
Dialers
If they’re talking too fast or all that good stuff. So they can really help you improve your customer satisfaction ratings and they can also really help you dive deep into what’s going on on those calls through customer sentiment. Zoom also checks the box on dialers of your company has an outbound dialer. Zoom can do that. you’re also going to check the box with Zoom contact center when it comes to compliance. So if you need to be PCI compliant and maybe process credit cards, you know, have agent process credit cards in a secure manner, they can do that if you need to be HIPA compliant. Zoom Call Center is also HIPA compliant. So they cover pretty much most of the compliance areas.
WFA
Workforce automation is something that some of the advanced call centers have. And Zoom actually has workforce automation. I would say it’s not quite as advanced as the biggest names in contact center software. But again, it’s pretty good for a company who’s just diving into workforce automation and what that is, that’s your ability to to have. I tell you, hey, at this time of day, you typically need this many agents based on past call behaviors, things like that seasonality. It can kind of predict what your staffing needs are. A big one that you’re probably wondering is how much this Zoom call center software cost? Well, they have three tiers of pricing and it starts at around $60 per month per contact center agent for the lowest here. And then it goes up to maybe like $120 per month per contact center agent for all the bells and whistles and all the features, like we’re talking about IVR and the really fancy stuff, work force automation, like that type of stuff. So you’re looking at about 60 to $120 per seat. And now obviously if you have a lot of seats, that price is negotiable. So there will be some discounts applied. I’m kind of give you giving you general more like shelf pricing on that stuff. But if you guys have a lot of agents, you’re going to get a little bit lower pricing than that. Again, contact me. My customers pay a little bit less than that.
Global Availability
Something you also might be wondering about is their global reach. So do you have locations that are not in the United States? Well, Zoom has some of the best global reach out there so they can reach more countries than almost any other vendor out there. So Zoom definitely does a good job with that. Obviously, they’ve gotten into that with video conferencing and their conferencing solution. So a very global company. You won’t have any problems with Zoom when it comes to global reach.
Integration
And lastly, let’s talk about integration. Something that contacts the centers should be looking into. For the most part, in my opinion, is integration. So what CRM are you using and can that contact center solution fully integrate into that CRM so that your agents never have to leave the CRM? Hopefully they can live inside your CRM and get all the contact center features that they need and they’re not having to go to Zoom to operate in the Zoom application. Well, Zoom does a really good job at this. They have an open API, which is great. They also have great integrations with Salesforce, Zendesk, ServiceNow, HubSpot, a lot of the major CRMs out there. The teams integration, they’re not one of the certified Microsoft certified teams integration providers yet, but they are working on that integration and that will probably be coming soon. Knowing Zoom, they’re really putting a lot of money into this product. They’re really trying to really push this to be one of the top contact center services out there. So expect that coming soon. All right. So that’s
my review on Zoom. A lot of good stuff. I think it’s a really good product. Again, I think it’s a great fit If your company already has Zoom phone or is planning on using Zoom phone and has a call center, that is definitely a call center, but maybe not super advanced right now. And you like to take your first step into really adding some features that are helping you guys out.
