Ring my bell: call centres
Article Abstract:
Organisations seeking to improve their customer services may choose to use call centres which are dedicated to answering telephone calls. Most call centres use automatic call distribution technology, which allows incoming calls to be queued and routed to the first available extension. Call centres are mostly used where many calls from the general public are expected. Theoretically, call centres are beneficial, but lack of training and reductions in the workforce can deter potential customers.

However, the ability to retain an existing telephone number when switching to cable is making them a more attractive alternative for corporate users.
