Kunnect, a leading provider of cloud-based call center telephony solutions, today announced that it has joined jobs4america, a coalition of organizations working to create 100,000 U.S. contact center jobs in the next two years.
The partnership expands the reach of Kunnect’s XVP Hosted Call Center solution to jobs4america’s growing roster of call center members. With Kunnect’s high-quality and affordable solution, call centers have the flexibility and resources needed to create jobs.
“With so many Americans looking for work, new broadband-enabled technologies are transforming the way contact centers work and enabling the creation of thousands of new jobs across the country,” said Jim Kohlenberger, jobs4america executive director. “It's great to see forward-thinking technology companies like Kunnect harnessing new technologies to help put America back to work."
Kunnect’s XVP Hosted Call Center solution is hosted in the Amazon cloud. The combination of Kunnect’s software and Amazon’s cloud technology provide the industry’s most scalable and flexible solution. It can be activated in minutes in order to respond to customer needs and scale to meet any load demands. The Kunnect XVP solution is also the most cost-effective in the call center industry, with all-inclusive plans starting at $110/month per license.
Many of today’s largest U.S.-based call centers use the XVP Hosted Call Center solution to support home-based, remote agents. These call centers can quickly and cost effectively launch, manage and measure the effectiveness of inbound and outbound call center campaigns. In 2011, call centers used the solution to manage six billion calls.
“Kunnect is proud to join jobs4america and looks forward to driving awareness on the need for domestic job growth as millions of Americans struggle to find work,” said Fred Côté, president of Kunnect. “Cloud-based call center platforms like Kunnect’s XVP Hosted Call Center solution are critical in enabling job creation and should be the standard for global communications and connectivity.”
