Definition of a call-center system

A call-center system is a set of software and technologies used to manage and operate customer communication operations. It aims to ease communication between a company’s staff and its customers and improve service efficiency, by managing inbound and outbound calls and other channels in one place.

The system includes tools such as call distribution, interactive voice response (IVR), call recording and reports — and it can be on-premise on the company’s servers or cloud-based working from anywhere. 3CX is one of the leading modern solutions that combine these capabilities at a reasonable cost.
