Avaya Call Center Elite vs. Premier Contact Point

The way Technology is expanding, Elite can be utilized and integrated into any environment as long as it keeps pace with the merging needs. I strongly recommend that there needs to be more innovation within the product to bring it back to where it was in the past.

Premier Contact Point is well suited for organisations who are
seeking a configurable contact centre solution that is cost-effective to grow and scale with your organisation and
underpinned by a robust support model.

• I think the reporting cause Elite does really good with reporting related to CMS and with the proper to-left knee programming. It performs well from a routing perspective. It will identify where the call needs to be routed to and it will cure it to that group pretty effectively. We've also found it to be relatively stable. You don't hear a lot of incidents about Call Center Elite going down. Sometimes it might be a database that might be having an issue or something else, but you never hear the call center has gone down or we can't route calls. You normally don't hear that. So it's been relatively stable.

• Customer Support
• Responsiveness to requests
• Openness to ideas/suggestions/features

• I do feel that their support definitely needs a room for improvement. There is not a lot and I say that as in from the technology support side of it is the support definitely needs to be a lot better and that's because if we're running into troubles or issues, there's not a lot of help outside of when we go to Avaya to help fix it. We get a little down a bumpy road trying to get that fixed. The last time I was here, I worked up there.

Incentivized

• A detailed documentation around the standard reporting options ie what details you can find in each report.

Very easy to use.

Avaya always has good partners for support.

I've used a C Experience portal, Contact Center Elite for Avaya Symposium, and Symposium Express for other manufacturers. I've used the Cisco solution for the Cisco. I believe the Contact Center Elite is the easiest of all the products for the enterprise industry and it's got the best user feel to be able to integrate it into your phone system

PCP was one of the least costly options. It's a smaller company, which means better more attentive support. Some of the other solutions we would have been paying for things we wouldn't need or use. We found Amazon Connect was at the other end of the scale, being too simple and not customisable enough. PCP had the right feature set for us.

• Once purchased and running, you don't need to worry about it for years.
• Support price is following the other companies. Price is good.
• When you need to upgrade it the cost can grow fast as most of the time you need to replace hardware.

Incentivized

• Has helped us improve our responsiveness in terms of reduced wait times
• Has helped route callers to appropriate departments based on IVR selections
• Has provided an easy to administer system for call centre leadership team or internal IT dep't to use without needing to always engage vendor
