Why choosing a small ISV makes perfect business sense

In the 1970s, big players in the burgeoning computer industry coined the phrase FUD. It stands for Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, and it’s what behemoths like IBM tried to sow in the minds of customers in relation to plucky young upstarts like Microsoft and Apple. It’s fair to say that the FUD strategy didn’t work…

The balancing act: Increase your contact centre productivity and stay compliant

Sports coaches talk about marginal gains, and how lots of small changes can add up to the difference between winning and losing in a tight contest. But if Gareth Southgate found a new strategy that would boost his team’s performance by 200-300%, he’d jump at the chance. That’s the level of improvement delivered by outbound…

The real cost of not having a payment IVR for credit and collections

A few years ago, IVRs (Interactive voice response) were not much loved by consumers, and even today, poorly implemented systems can leave callers fuming on the other end of the phone.

Stop it, we’re sick of the ‘Covid’ excuse

Since March 2020, how many times have you heard ‘due to Covid, we can’t do x, y and z’ or ‘there’s a delay due to Covid’? More than a handful, we bet, and over a year on, the excuse is starting to wear thin. Whilst Covid and its restrictions have seriously impacted people and businesses, UK consumers are fed up with brands STILL using Covid as an excuse for poor…
