Dialler and IT Outsourcers at loggerheads  [3/10/2009 03:36:06]

Hi all,

Since outsourcing our IT solutions and implementing full ACD technology
across the Call centre, we have run into a very frustrating ongoing issue -
Neither our IT Solutions comp, nor our Dialer comp seem to cooperate with
each other to lessen the effect downtime has on our business. The blame for
access rights and faults always lie with 'the other side'. It is very
frustrating and leaves us stuck in the middle with a load of techie reasons
and IT jargon floating around our heads as way of explanation.

Has anyone come across the issue of remote access to individual workstations
and/or the call centre in general for dialer companies or CRM companies
where the IT network solution of the 'call centre' in question is
outsourced? That is to say if one company has installed my network and is
maintaining the domain controller and in-house systems, what access rights
should be given to the dialer company - who require FULL access (apparently)
to solve any issues or problems or faults that may occur.

You would think for the 6 figure sums one pays for such technology a
solution could be reached without me having to reach out for advice, but i
guess not.

Many thanks, Shameer.

If you make one outsourcer responsible for everything they can subcontract to others for things like the dialer. That way you you can have a single SLA with penalties for non performance and you will not get caught in the middle of a tech fight.

Agreed, a more practical solution is to have your IT outsourcer arrange and contract a dialler provider that meets your needs. Unfortunately "the horse may already have bolted" for you, but perhaps you could review the contracts you have with both suppliers in order to get some accountability?
