Contactual Partners with Pipkins to Provide Workforce Management to Contact Center Customers
San Carlos, CA and St. Louis (PRWEB) June 3, 2009 -- Contactual, the global leader in on-demand contact center software that empowers customer facing organizations to end customer frustration, and Pipkins, Inc. a leading supplier of workforce management software and services to the call center industry, today announced they have joined in a partnership to cross sell technology. This agreement will provide a direct connection for call center managers looking to combine a trusted workforce management system with hosted contact center software.
Contactual pioneered the use of hosted contact center solutions that dramatically reduce the costs of call center operations by eliminating the need for infrastructure or agents to be physically located on-site. Using hosted contact center software has traditionally been popular with small to midsized companies, and now is being adopted by Fortune 500 companies.
"As we engage with larger companies, our customers require an integrated on demand workforce management solution. There is no one with more experience and understanding of workforce management in a call center than Pipkins," said Mansour Salame, CEO and Chairman of Contactual. "This partnership with Pipkins allows our customers to have a world class call center solution fully on demand with no upfront investment."
"Increasingly users are embracing the hosted model and migrating some, it not all, of their business functions from premise-based software to hosted solutions. Like Contactual, we recognized this trend early on and launched a hosted version of our premised-based Vantage Point™ to address this need in 2002," said James Pipkins, Founder and CEO of Pipkins. "Contactual has been chosen by companies of all sizes, having wide ranging needs and levels of sophistication. This partnership gives them the ability to further leverage their relationship with Contactual and pursue a completely on demand strategy with workforce management and contact center software from the leader in contact center innovation."
Pipkins has been at the forefront of workforce management systems innovation for nearly three decades. Its Vantage Point software provides modern commercial call centers with advanced sophisticated forecasting and scheduling technology enabling users to realize scheduling optimization that is unmatched in the industry. WorkforceScheduling.com is Pipkins' hosted, low cost, subscription-based, alternative which provides users with all of the same full-featured enterprise capabilities and benefits of its Vantage Point software, but without the capital expenditures and ongoing infrastructure support costs associated with a premised-based solution.
