Premier Contact Point vs. Shared Contacts for Gmail

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.

Shared Contacts for Gmail is well suited for organizations that generate and coordinate long term partnerships and that have a big remote working component as a main form or working. It is less appropriate with organizations dedicated to sales and performance based ways of working. I would recommend it for medium size organizations.

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

• Helps manage contact lists and distribution lists.
• Eliminates the need for the use of an additional platform, like a CRM, to manage contacts.
• Makes it easier to share contacts with a targeted audience with the flexibility to be selective about who the data is being shared with.

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

• I have been looking for a way to share our contacts within our organization for a while now. This process really improves how we were doing it within Google Sheets.
• My only negative is that it has taken so long for it to be functional within Google.

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.

My company used Zendesk Sell for a while, but the profiles weren't as manageable and easy accessed as Shared Contacts [for Gmail.] It resulted easier to update the contact information within Shared Contacts [for Gmail] and maintain the contact flow, than updating in Zendesk, and then manually go into gmail and continue the conversation. As well we don't use Shared Contacts [for Gmail] alone. We do accompany it with an internal operations system, were we manage the clients profile, but the combination between the two is perfect.
