• Long-term investment protection with a platform that provides an easy upgrade path to CaaS editions that support the largest, most sophisticated global contact centers.

CaaS Small Center^℠ offers a wide breadth of contact center applications, including multichannel routing and queuing, interactive voice response, multichannel recording, supervision and reporting, quality management, real-time speech analytics, automated customer satisfaction surveys, and Salesforce integration.
