You might envision a call center as a warehouse jammed with tiny desks where tired agents switch endlessly from one call to the next. However, today’s call centers are evolving. Some now operate as hybrid or fully remote workplaces, with agents efficiently managing support requests via both traditional phone lines and various digital channels. And many use advanced technology like artificial intelligence (AI) to supercharge their customer service efficiency.
More companies are realizing that improvements in call center training and work satisfaction greatly reduce burnout and increase customer retention and satisfaction. In this article, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about how call centers operate and what you need to make yours successful.
What is a call center?
A call center is a team of customer service specialists who field phone calls from prospects or customers who have questions about a company’s services or products.
Many call centers focus on customer satisfaction (CSAT) and offer support, while others concentrate on boosting sales, increasing lead generation, and acquiring new customers. Regardless, call centers play an integral role in creating a great customer experience (CX), so they must maintain a high level of service at all times to nurture relationships.

Common call center technology
Beyond basic equipment—a headset, computer, and internet connection—you’ll need call center software to manage your large volumes of calls. This software typically includes the following tools:
- Artificial intelligence (AI): AI can assist call center operations by detecting customer sentiment, transcribing calls, and intelligently routing calls to agents with the best skills or availability. AI agents, sometimes referred to as intelligent bots, can also deflect calls to make support volume easier to manage.
- Interactive voice response (IVR): This automated phone menu uses pre-recorded messages, touch-tone options, and voice recognition to direct callers to the right department or agent. It even helps customers complete simple tasks without needing a live person.
- Customer profiles: Customer profiles provide agents with a complete view of a customer’s history and interactions across the buyer’s journey, such as their contact information, purchase preferences, past support conversations, and more.
- Workforce engagement solutions: Managers use workforce management software to monitor agent activity, track contact volume, predict future coverage needs, and create schedules. QA software helps review calls and improve support performance.
- Self-service options: Knowledge bases, community forums, AI chatbots, and other tools help customers help themselves.
Call center technology can be paired with your existing tools to extend its capabilities and connect your operations.
