What is Call Center Software?

Call center software is any software package designed to improve quality, efficiency, or productivity in a call center environment.

Inbound call centers benefit from software such as Automatic Call Distributors (ACD) and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) Software.

Outbound call centers gain more advantage from applications like Predictive Dialer Software.

Both types of call centers are able to make good use of Computer Telephony Software and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Software.
