The increasing demands of these customers have compelled call center operators and organizations to evolve quickly and adopt the latest technologies. In addition, the Saudi government’s endeavor to engage with citizens and open new channels of communication with them has led to an increasing demand for contact centre and unified communications solutions and this trend is set to gather pace in the next few years”.

The NCBS Technology Solutions and Services division provides state of the art end-to-end ICT infrastructure solutions and this division will be responsible for promoting and implementing Interactive Intelligence’s solutions.

“The biggest testament of our belief and conviction that Interactive Intelligence’s technology is the best in the industry is the fact that we implemented the company’s Customer Interaction CenterTM (CIC) solution in our new contact centre facility called ‘Direct Calls’ which offers outsourcing services. It was after we experienced firsthand the benefits the technology had to offer that we decided to enter into a strategic partnership with Interactive Intelligence. We see a huge potential for uptake of the company’s solutions in the Kingdom,” continues Mr. Naif.
