Due to the shift toward remote work, many call and contact centers are increasing using virtual desktop interfaces to enable users to access their desktops remotely using their laptops, tablets, and even smartphones. VDI, however, doesn’t address the strategy of replacing location-locked devices like desk phones. Employees who are required to use desk phones to make and receive calls are unable to benefit from remote working.
Service providers who offer a cloud-native softphone app as a contact center solution gain carrier-grade communications and collaboration tools that enable their end users to adapt to business changes, scale as needed, reduce hardware costs, and more.
