Call Center/Customer Contact

CenturyLink™ manages your Agency's contact center systems, while you focus on your Agency's mission, improve your Agency's services and lower your Agency's contact center costs.

CenturyLink's Call Center/Customer Contact Center Services (CCS) include a portfolio of CenturyLink network-hosted solutions that can improve customer service and Agency efficiency. Through the use of multi-channel contact center routing and reporting capabilities, as well as the deployment of menu-driven, self-help applications, your Agency can significantly lower its customer contact center costs by eliminating large capital outlays and redeploying dedicated IT staff from network management to application development. CenturyLink's CCS allows your Agency to focus on its core mission and priorities while still giving your Agency complete control of its customer service.
