Zoom Contact Center Works

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Zoom Contact Center is used as a unified communications platform within the organization. We leverage the phone, the contact center, audio/video conferencing, and Zoom rooms for managing and running meetings.

Pros

  • Contact Center / AI assistance
  • Customer support using Video Chat
  • Live Learning
  • Conference Calls using Zoom Rooms

Cons

  • The one feature that I believe is missing with Zoom Contact Center is features like True Caller to stop calls or group calls by display name, and the ability to block using the display name and not just individual numbers.

Return on Investment

  • Zoom has improved our customer service by offering various means of connecting our customers to staff.
  • Customers enjoy the callback feature, with a guaranteed response time.
  • Average time spent on calls is lower due to AI assistance for techs to assist customers.

Zoom Contact Center works but not the best

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use for our entire company and also use contact center. Zoom Contact Center is typically used for video conferencing with external attendees versus Teams internally. The application solves the issue of needing a company phone system that works on VOIP for the best flexibility and portability. Zoom is also capable of recording meetings and providing a transcript of the meeting.

Pros

  • Video conferencing
  • Easy to setup
  • Easy to administrate

Cons

  • Contact center not fully integrated with workplace
  • No integrations with Hubspot
  • Too many things to log into.

Return on Investment

  • Cost savings
  • Time savings - easy to setup/administrate
  • Decent tool for external video calls.

Sydney Film Festival dramatically cuts costs with Zoom Contact Center

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Moving to Zoom Contact Center has been an absolute game changer; our primary goal was to reduce phone bills, and with Zoom Phone and Contact Centre, we achieved 81% cost savings during the festival’s core period. There are many different apps out there, but it is very valuable that our communication tools can be all-in-one.

Pros

  • The dashboards are fantastic because we can see if an agent isn't logged in or if there are a lot of customers waiting in the queues—we've never had that visibility before. We didn't have data to look back and see if we had enough staff to support the load. That helps us so much, especially when we're budgeting for the next Festival.
  • The callback function saved us during last year’s festival. We had a street-wide internet outage during one of our busiest periods. But, in the time it took to fix the issue, Zoom Contact Center lined up callbacks. It was all so smooth. We didn’t need to trawl through voicemails or miss any queries - we could return everyone’s call within 30 minutes.
  • Integration with our Zoom Phone configuration provides a seamless experience when transferring calls to those not on the Contact Centre. We can do a Warm Transfer, too, so it's a very professional experience.

Cons

  • The integration with Zoom Phone is still ongoing, so it initially required some tricky configuration and additional phone numbers, but that's no longer a requirement now.
  • I would love a way to use physical handsets with the Contact Centre. Currently, it's all softphone integration on a PC or Mac. But it's a great experience and very similar to using Zoom Meetings, so there's minimal training for staff needed.
  • The Admin Settings on the backend can be tricky to navigate. Still, you have much more customization and constant feature upgrades than I've ever seen with any other Contact Centre service.

Return on Investment

  • The main goal was to reduce the phone bills and, with Zoom Phone and Contact Centre, we achieved 81% cost savings during the festival’s core period.
  • We could integrate with Zoom Meetings and Zoom Phone with the cost savings we achieved from migrating to Contact Centre. So, the value of the money we were spending was dramatically increased.
  • Less training and resource development is needed with the Agents, as it can provide feedback during the calls on how their voices may be perceived by callers.
