What is Amazon Connect? – And 3 reasons we love it!

Here at Route One Connect, we love an innovative bit of tech. And we’ve been particularly impressed with Amazon Connect – Amazon Web Services’ Contact Centre as a Service (CCaaS) offering.

Amazon Connect

Amazon Connect was released back in March 2017, with many observers saying it would be massively disruptive in the contact centre market. One of the claims about it from AWS was that you could set up a new contact centre “in minutes”. A bold claim, especially given that traditionally, a contact centre from one of the big boys like Avaya or Cisco would take weeks or months to set up. However, it’s true. You can set up a (very basic) contact centre, and be taking calls, in a matter of a few minutes.

Relentless Improvements

What has perhaps been more impressive since its launch though, is the pace at which AWS have continued to improve the service, and how they’ve allowed you to integrate with other complementary AWS services. Fancy being able to send your caller a text message while they are in queue? Sure, no problem! How about transcribing your call recordings, then running sentiment analysis over them to see how happy your callers sound? No problem, integrate with AWS services “Transcribe” and “Comprehend”.

The Big 3

All very impressive then, but what are 3 big reasons we at ROC love Amazon Connect?

1. We often talk to small, ambitious and growing companies about their contact strategy. They might forecast massive peaks in demand around Christmas, or because of Brexit. Managing your contact centre around those events is no problem with Connect because the pay-per-use cost model allows you to flex up to cope with demand, then flex back down without having committed to extra annual license costs.
2. Amazon Connect would be a great choice for a company who has only a couple of advisors. But some of the biggest contact centres in the world use it too! So that scalability is great news for those ambitious, growing companies who have two advisors today, but might have two hundred by next year – Connect will grow with you.
3. The power to innovate. We’ve been around contact centres for a while now, and it always used to be that making any significant changes, let alone anything innovative, was a massive piece of work. You might need to involve other vendors to start with, then maybe get your virtualisation team to build new servers. Then it might be weeks down the line before putting anything into production. With AWS and Amazon Connect, the power to integrate other services (like Transcribe and Comprehend mentioned earlier) is at your fingertips. So we can work with you to help you try things that would previously have only been available to the very biggest and deep-pocketed contact centres!
