SECTION 1: CALL CENTRES IN TUNISIA delocalized

 

  1. Presentation of the sector :

Called Call Center ( English Call Center ) platform , hosted or outsourced by the company, in charge of assisting users.

 

Call centers are used to assist clients in the context of an after-sales service (SAV) , technical support, a telesales or to support a company's staff in the context of the use of a tool or in their daily tasks . In the case of a dedicated call center technical support , the term Support center ( in English Help Desk or Hot Line) is generally used.

 

A call center is primarily a human organization to take into account the demands of users. Most of the time the preferred channel is the telephone , but via internet using groupware applications ( A groupware is software that allows a group of people to share documents remotely ) is also possible. Some devices have a tool called " Web Call Back " (or " Call Through " ) allowing the user to be recalled by the company by simply entering the phone number and clicking on the button input.

 

Operators are responsible in the first instance to identify their interlocutors. The Computer Telephony Integration ( CTI noted ) is increasingly used to couple the telephone system of the company to its information system and allow operators to automatically have the sheets for customers through phone number.

Once the user identified and their identity verified using a few issues ( customer number, address, phone number , ...) , the operator or the operator opens a trouble ticket and may examine his case through the interface of Help Desk software. The client record contains the history of his calls and all the steps that have already been carried out, in order not to repeat the diagnosis. Opening a trouble ticket starts a timer , and the operator is responsible for providing a response to the user in the shortest time possible.

 

To assist in this task , a knowledge base , leveraging the most frequently-asked questions , allows him to ask the " right questions " , diagnose the problem and , to the extent possible, to find a solution. There is talk of CBR ( Case- Based Reasoning , translate Case Based Reasoning or case-based reasoning system ) to describe the process of finding a solution by questions / answers successive .

 

When the first level of operators (called Front- Line) is not able to respond to the caller , the file is forwarded to level 2 operators, more specialized and therefore more costly for the company . The mechanism of transmitting the case to a higher level is called call escalation

 

In rare cases it may be that the problem depends on a third party, in which case the problem can be transferred directly to the support center of the editor.

Indeed, the call center is designed to provide , develop, and manage customer relationships within the company, conditional means, in particular costs. It creates the relational and virtual tissue between the company and its environment.
