“Now that Ofcom have shown their intention to fine anyone who works outside their compliance rules, the debate has moved on. For any dialer, compliance is actually easy; the real issue is now about getting effective performance under compliance, and that is what our seminars focus on.” said Sytel’s Michael McKinlay.
“A lot of companies in the UK have been working outside of compliance rules for dialers either because of ignorance, or in many cases, because their systems simply do not deliver the goods when forced to work under compliance.”
“For the many users with under-performing dialers, the choice has been stark. Comply with Ofcom rules and see performance levels drop, sometimes substantially, or work outside compliance and risk substantial penalties.”
“No responsible call centre wants to be in this situation, but dialers still have a touch of mystique about them and it was not always clear in the past that dialer investments were going to be at risk, under a compliance regime.” said McKinlay.
Commenting as a long time Sytel user, Neil Perring of BPS Contact Services, part of the Teleperformance Group said; “We have been relying upon Sytel’s predictive dialing product for many years and have always been delighted at the excellent performance we get from their mandatory adherence to compliance. When the Ofcom rules came in, it was business as usual for us, with no loss in performance and no worries that supervisors might intentionally or otherwise breach the rules.”
