Five9, the leader in cloud contact center software, is helping business process outsourcers (BPO) take advantage of the flexibility and scalability of the cloud to increase agent productivity, improve customer satisfaction, and enable a more agile contact center environment.

“We are seeing tremendous adoption of Five9 among outsourced contact centers. In today’s market, outsourced contact centers are a strategic partner for many organizations that do not keep all of their agents in house. With Five9, outsourcers can easily support different client campaigns and budgets, quickly ramp up and down based on client needs, improve oversight across clients and decrease startup and deployment times. The cloud model helps outsourcers be more competitive in an already hyper-competitive environment.”
Mike Burkland, CEO, Five9
