The goal is to increase user productivity and make their workflow more efficient while decreasing any additional training or learning time.

    2. Free CRM Integration: 3CLogic is offering new customers under this program free customization services and support for integrating their existing CRM software with 3CLogic’s Contact Center Software.

    3. Discounted Training: With the CRM Connector Package, customers will receive a 50% discount on user and administrative training throughout the promotional period. These are live training sessions conducted by certified 3CLogic representatives and support staff. Additionally, customers will have free access to e-training modules.

    4. Fully Customizable Customer Information Management: The CRM Connecter Package makes administering customer information easy and effortless instead of a difficult process. With the CRM Connector Package, contact center managers will have the ability to migrate their representatives over to an easy to use interface where phone calls can be stopped, started, managed, and administered using CTI through a single window view. 3CLogic will perform all the customization required to do this.

    “Our customers have told us that Contact Center integration with CRM systems is the most critical part in providing superb customer service and conducting effective marketing campaigns.” said Ramana Reddy, Director of Client Services at 3CLogic.

    Virtual Cloud Based Call Centers Combined With the Reversal of Outsourcing Trend can Contribute to Lower Unemployment Rates 

    Virtual call center technology from 3CLogic accelerates the growth of home based agents which can further bring down the US unemployment rate from 8.6%. It is now less expensive and more efficient for businesses to bring those call center jobs back to US.

    3CLogic Cloud Based Contact Center Offering
    3CLogic, the leader in cloud based call center confirmed today that it sees a definite reversal in the trend of outsourcing call center jobs to other countries. Cloud based call center service providers like 3CLogic are in a great position to help those companies which are bringing jobs back to US. Specifically, the virtual call center capabilities from 3CLogic provide the flexibility of having home based agents. Recent reports indicate US unemployment rates remain persistently high at 8.6%. In previous years, many businesses resorted to outsourcing their call center inquiry and support lines overseas in hopes of lower cost per call and lower labor costs. What they didn’t realize, however, was just how much they were putting their business and their country in a down-spiral recession. While outsourcing may have cut costs in areas such as infrastructure and utility fees in the past for some businesses, it has also reportedly lowered customer satisfaction and brand loyalty for them as well.

    According to a recent report by Datamonitor, there are an estimated 243,000 offshore agents currently handling calls from U.S. consumers. While outsourcing customer support lines to other geographical locations may seem to be cheaper in terms of hourly agent pay or cost per call, there is a huge disconnect between customers and off-shore agents. Customers call in with questions, comments and inquiries; expecting nothing less than the best of breed support. No customer wants to wait on hold or be charged with extra over-sea phone fees, and they most certainly don’t want to speak with an agent who doesn’t understand their problem or concerns. By outsourcing your agents, you risk compromising your customer satisfaction rates, lowering your reputation, and hitting your business where it hurts: revenue.

    “With 3CLogic’s cloud based call centers based on VoIP and virtual capabilities, it actually costs less to have home based agents in the US than having agents overseas. The myth of cost savings with outsourcing has been disproved at this point; showing how logical and cost efficient it is to home shore and bring down the unemployment rate”, said Raj Sharma, President and CEO of 3CLogic.

    Furthermore, it doesn’t take much for businesses to realize that lack of agent retention, loss of productivity and faulty customer support produced by outsourcing call centers dramatically lowers their revenues and sales. Companies that have mastered the art of home-shoring reap the benefits at a time where their customers need quality customer support the most. Companies such as 3CLogic provide businesses with top of the line contact center software to perform full-featured capabilities at a fraction of the cost of traditional and outsourced call centers. Businesses experience customized scalability and flexibility as they have the choice of launching their contact centers fully from the cloud. This cuts infrastructure and maintenance fees, and brings well needed jobs back to the US.

    How is Server based Central dialer different from Distributed 3CLogic dialer? 

    To put it simply, a dialer is a piece of code that dials a number automatically.
    The goal of the dialer can differ with requirements. As an example, consider that Jane wants to call all her friends to invite them for dinner. She will do this in her own leisure and will call all the numbers sequentially, repeating them until she has called them all. This is what 3CLogic calls a Power Dialer.
    Now consider that she has 10000 guests to call. She will definitely need to hire some help, let’s call him George, to call on her behalf and let him make the calls. Since she is paying George per hour, she will like to make sure that her hire reaches the maximum number of guests possible in an hour(That’s being Scrooge). If I assume that some of these 10000 guests must have their phones sending calls directly to automated answering machines, Jane will be paying George to identify her guests on answering machines. What if most of her guests do not pick up, sending George directly to their answering machines? This would really hit Jane where it hurts; her wallet. All of these calls being sent to answering machines will cause Jane to be doubly poor because she is paying George for all the time he spends. One of the obvious goals for the dialer is to identify if the number is on an answering machine using standard heuristics called Answering Machine Detection. When the dialer detects answering machines before handing off the call to George, he can skip that call and move on to the next guest. 3CLogic calls this type of dialer, the Rapid Dialer.
    Now let’s add in the fact that Jane only has one day to complete the calls. By golly, she will have to hire Sally to work with George. Now Jane has hired two representatives and still is pressed on time issues. This makes the dialer a bit more interesting, because now the dialer applies artificial intelligence to determine when her hire is going to put the receiver down so it can start dialing a little earlier than that.
    During your own personal phone calls you may have noticed:
    • There is some time consumed in dialing
    • There is some initial silence, while your call is being connected
    • There is some ringing before the caller picks up the call
    If the dialer saves time for Sally and George, they are likely to make more calls per hour and will be more likely to complete the calls in a day. This is what we at 3CLogic call, the Predictive Dialer.
    Now poses the real question: How is a server based central dialer different from a distributed 3CLogic dialer? To start with, it saves Jane the cost of the central server which amounts up to thousands of dollars. The 3CLogic dialer also uses free computation cycles that Sally and George have on their laptops. This saves her greenbacks on power requirements. The 3CLogic dialer uses heuristics and algorithms which outdo even the best central dialers available in the market today. This all helps Jane save a few hours, and a few bucks- on commissions.
    To give you an overview of why the 3CLogic dialer works better than a central dialer, let me expand the number of hires to a bigger value, say 64 agents are hired and the calls to be made are racking up to a few million. Now imagine how many quad core central servers will need to compete to make this raw power available. Did you say 16? Well, you have just made a point why distributing the calls on the 3CLogic dialer makes the most sense.
    If this does not satisfy your ‘technical urges’, let me make another point. Every call that is made, requires a little RAM, a little of CPU cycles and a little of bandwidth (Is this technical?). Well, yes, if you know that there is limit to the amount of RAM you can have on a single server and the cost of high end CPU. To make matters worse, suppose your hires are distributed across the world, you will be paying double for the bandwidth requirements. Now who says that saving your bandwidth is futile? Not Jane Of course!!
