Types of Contact Center
Inbound and Outbound Contact Centers

the main objective is to respond to customer issues like customer service questions, inbound sales inquiries, order fulfillment, technical concerns, and general help desk matters all through voice. Although inbound centers are basic, the demand is still high where many businesses think of a traditional contact center and communicating with customers over the phone is still needed.
Inbound and outbound contact centers usually use Interactive Voice Response and Automated Outbound Dialer to increase productivity and efficiency in the workplace.
