This influential report features leading providers that carry a commanding market position and are widely accepted as leaders in the contact center solutions industry. Of these market heavyweights, inContact is a "leading solution that (is) worthy of a place on most technology selection shortlists … and has established a commanding market position with a product that is widely accepted as best-of-breed."

According to Aphrodite Brinsmead, Ovum Principal Analyst, inContact solutions "meet the needs of customers looking for a reliable set of multi-tenant, multichannel cloud tools that can be deployed quickly." Brinsmead continued by saying, "Highlights of the vendor's portfolio include a user-friendly agent interface, multichannel routing, and web collaboation tools, as well as two different cloud-based workforce optimization options."



The report's Strengths Analysis pointed specifically to the workforce optimization (WFO) solutions offered by inContact and its ability to provide enterprises with WFO options of varying sizes from a cloud platform. "Having these essential contact center tools in-house rather than relying on best-of-breed partners is beneficial to inContact's customers that want a fully integrated set of monitoring and performing capabilities."

These estimations further validate that enterprises of all sizes are moving to the cloud faster than ever before. In addition to cost savings, customers cited simplified deployment, scalability and access to the latest technology upgrades as reasons for choosing the cloud over premise-based systems. With the growing trend of businesses replacing their aging premise-based systems with cloud contact center offerings, Ovum's Decision Matrix is a key component of marketplace exploration and trusted source for impartial and comprehensive research.
