Cloud-based Contact Center Software Provider Five9 Helps SupportSeven Enhance Client Service and Expand its Business
Rapidly growing provider of outsourced services
improves flexibility with a cloud-based platform
SAN RAMON, Calif. – June 5, 2012 – When SupportSeven, a rapidly growing provider of outsourced customer and technical support services, needed to scale its contact center to meet customer needs and business goals, it realized that its premise-based solution couldn’t deliver the cost effectiveness, agent productivity and business flexibility required. SupportSeven company president Tom Rocca called on Five9 Inc., the leading provider of cloud-based contact center software, to move the outsourcer to the cloud, provide a flexible platform for growth and reduce capital investments.
“We grew quickly to about 700 seats, using premise-based technology,” said company president Tom Rocca. “But growing had its challenges. Software licensing, storage, raised floors, rack environments, more IT people – it really added up.” Each time the company added a large client or a significant number of seats, Rocca estimated it cost SupportSeven between $100 thousand to $500 thousand.
Rocca said Five9 gives his business greater flexibility on a number of levels, starting with business development. Simply talking about the cloud-based platform with prospects has been an advantage – SupportSeven can quickly and transparently scale to add or reduce agents based on client need. Landing a new client – even a large one – and onboarding agents is easier with Five9, because agents are productive faster due to its intuitive and efficient user interface.
Capital investments have decreased significantly because there’s no premise-based equipment to manage and maintain. Resources spent keeping the technology systems up-to-date have been re-invested in training and business development.
“SupportSeven’s situation was a common one – a company with a huge growth opportunity and technology holding it back,” said Five9 CEO Mike Burkland. “With Five9 cloud-based contact center software, companies can realize this growth potential and enjoy additional benefits of cloud, such as lower costs, improved productivity and streamlined operations.”
