Feb 18th 2005: "Buying a telephone system? Think again..."  [18/2/2005 12:00:38]

Article Link

I know that we've a few system resellers around here: the Bristol boys to name but two (Why has AT never posted?). You guys must have a point of view on this so I'll be expecting comments from you all.

And if you don't leave a comment I'll have to insist that John bans you from the site! [evil cackle]

I'm about to fix John's link for yesterday, so you can all click that too.

Feb 22nd 2005: "Outsourcing Customer Service"  [22/2/2005 10:15:46]

Article Link

Some thoughts on why outsourcing customer service departments really doesn't always work. It's becoming more and more common, but increasingly customers are finding outsourced customer service centres to be inflexible, frustrating and largely not worth the hassle. Comments welcome, as always.

Voices Announcement  [1/3/2005 11:06:44]

Hi everyone.

Voices has been spliced off as its own website as of today, though it won't be fully operational for another 24-48 hours. We've done this so that CallCentreVoice remains impartial and to give Voices more scope to evolve without fear of running against the grain of that impartiality.

A new name has been selected, and an announcement will be made once DNS, etc., updates (at present DNS is pointing to a non-place, so be patient.)

The links above will continue to work in the meantime, though we'll be updating them once we know that the DNS has propagated across the net.

We'll also be interested in anyone who wishes to contribute to the rebranded Voices. Please contact us if you have something to say...
