Teleperformance Partners With RightNow for Contact Center on Demand

SALT LAKE CITY — Teleperformance, the world’s leading provider of outsourced CRM and contact center services, today announced a new partnership with RightNow Technologies for customer experience solutions to enrich Teleperformance’s Contact Center on Demand (CCoD) hosted contact center offering.

In September, Teleperformance launched CCoD, enabling enterprises to quickly and cost effectively scale their service operations and add sophisticated multichannel capabilities. At the heart of these hosted services is the company’s own contact center technology and management tools, a robust and highly scalable contact center platform from Genesys, plus cloud based customer experience solutions from RightNow. CCoD also offers access to Teleperformance’s high caliber agent pool.

Teleperformance’s Contact Center on Demand services allow clients to choose from a complete range of options to suit the precise needs of each project. The RightNow CX, customer experience suite, helps clients deliver a positive customer experience via the web, contact center, or social channels ensuring that customers receive accurate, up to date information no matter how they contact an organization. Agents can easily access a central, self-learning knowledge foundation to quickly answer questions or route inquiries to the subject matter expert. Using RightNow CX clients can also capture valuable customer feedback to incorporate into improving business and support interactions.

The flexible hosted services model enables quick initial implementation and support for changes to applications and routing plans. It also provides the ability to seamlessly increase customer service capacity by adding supplementary seats or telephony ports on demand.

Through this unique deployment of products, Teleperformance provides industry-leading contact center capabilities, customizable to businesses of all sizes.

Teleperformance, named North American Contact Center Outsourcer of the Year by the industry analyst firm Frost & Sullivan, will leverage its experience and proficiency as it offers its progressive hosting services to complement features used by existing customers and to benefit new clients.

According to Frost & Sullivan Strategic Analyst, Michael DeSalles, "Teleperformance is superbly managed and has extremely high levels of client satisfaction, not just in North America, but also around the world."

Teleperformance USA CEO, Brent Welch, adds, "RightNow is the industry leader in enterprise customer experience solutions and the perfect partner for our solution. We’re excited to offer our clients an unmatched solution for on-demand hosted services."

Dominic Dato, executive chairman of Teleperformance USA, says, "CCoD offers Teleperformance clients a strategic advantage over their competition. Not only are clients able to scale in real time, but their customers can receive the highest level of customer service through the best agents."
