New Delhi, Delhi, India: The hosted contact center market is moving out of the early adopter stage with immense future growth potential according to a new Frost & Sullivan white paper titled: "THE HOSTED MODEL: Why It's Revolutionizing the Contact Center Industry."

Contact center executives, managers and decision-makers who are evaluating a hosted platform will appreciate the paper's detailed value proposition and gain insight into the following:

-- Industry trends and key benefits driving hosted contact center adoption

-- Types of organizations that make good candidates for a hosted solution

-- Total cost of ownership (TCO) advantages: hosted vs. on-premise

-- Organizational starting points: questions to ask a hosting provider

As part of this research, Frost & Sullivan conducted a detailed case study on Health Advocate, a rapidly expanding service organization that benefited from Cincom Synchrony™ technology. Health Advocate achieved 400% growth and 50% productivity increases through its hosted solution.

According to Frost & Sullivan, Cincom Synchrony's unified agent desktop is an example of the type of advanced features and functionality made available through hosted applications that were once only attainable by big-budget organizations in an on-premise environment. "What Frost & Sullivan finds unique and powerful about Synchrony is its ‘Smart Tabs' function and its ability to change dynamically based on the activity or contact type, presenting only what agents need for a specific interaction. With a single agent desktop and Smart Tabs, agents process more quickly and are more responsive to customer needs before moving on to up-sell or cross-sell activity. It enhances the customer experience by giving the agents immediate fingertip access to everything relevant about each customer for faster, on-target service."
