Enghouse
Enghouse Interactive Contact Centers is well suited for organizations with existing Microsoft solutions e.g. Lync/Skype for business infrastructure/Teams, Those who run Busy (1000+ calls/day) OMNI channel contact centres and depend on quality management/Quality assurance. I would say less appropriate for small to medium organizations that do not have existing PABX infrastructure.

There is genuinely not a lot to dislike about the application. Maybe it's due to legacy implementations and updates, but sometimes the request for service from the suppliers can take too long and is drawn out. IFS Customer Engagement is helping us to make sure we're able to get the right parts to the right resources with appropriate skills for each request. This saves time on resources in planning and optimization of routes. IFS has also allowed connecting to supplier APIs to be able to do real-time stock checks and order to enable us to reduce stock levels to the minimum levels whilst still hitting key targets.

Enghouse
Enghouse Interactive Contact Centers compared to Zeacom is very powerful in terms of features. The support for integrating with third-party software/hardware is better, and it is much simpler to use because less training is required to upskill the contact center staff. Comes with a lot of documentation and interactive guides/manuals.

IFS Customer Engagement allows efficient manufacturing reporting for the business to select whether to use standard/default reporting or actual reporting or combined reporting. Since the system has business logic to look through the defined rules, there is minimum manual intervention. IFS Customer Engagement is working throughout the organization in different roles and it is being rolled out to additional countries as part of a replace and enhance strategy.

Return on Investment
Enghouse
  • Using Enghouse to manage our inbound and outbound call communication has allowed for us to focus more time on call quality and trends, rather than how to manage the call load and where to allocate calls.
  • The time spent managing server blips and failovers remains a detractor for our teams.
