We bring together people, process, technology, data and insight so customers get the right support, teams can work with confidence and every interaction can help improve the next one.

From multi-channel support to real-time analytics, we provide the tools to create exceptional interactions at every touchpoint.

benefits

Omnichannel customer service

Make support easier for customers

Customers do not think in channels. They think about the problem they need to solve.

We help organisations create support experiences across voice, live chat, asynchronous chat, email, virtual assistants, social media and webforms. For many people, a “call centre” is still the everyday phrase they use when they need help. We help modernise that experience so call centre support connects with digital channels, customer information and service workflows.

AI in contact centres

Balance human care with intelligent tools

We help combine empathetic human support with cloud contact centre platforms, knowledge management, automation, conversational AI, virtual assistants, chatbots and analytics. These tools can help teams find information faster, reduce manual effort and give customers clearer, more consistent answers.

The aim is not to remove the human touch. It is to make sure people get human help when it matters, and simple support when that is all they need.

Use insight to improve every interaction

Every contact centre interaction tells you something. We help you understand why your customers are getting in touch, where friction is building and where service can improve.

We offer tools that can monitor call recordings, analyse topics and phrases, and flag strong positive, negative or high-risk sentiment. This helps your teams identify issues earlier, support coaching and improve service quality over time.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a contact centre and a call centre?

A call centre usually refers to customer support by phone. A contact centre is broader and can include voice, live chat, asynchronous chat, email, virtual assistants, social media and webforms. We help organisations connect these channels so customers can get support in the way that suits them.

How can contact centre outsourcing help my organisation?

With over 30 years’ experience managing contact centres, we help organisations of all sizes to streamline customer engagement and support. Our expertise and advanced technology enable customers to focus on their core business while optimising operational efficiency and achieving impactful results that impact the bottomline.

What types of customer engagement services does Datacom offer?

Our teams are highly experienced in managing inbound and outbound contact centres across various disciplines including service, sales, technical support and citizen services.

We provide a range of communication channels, including voice, live and asynchronous chat, email, virtual assistants, social media and webforms, with multilingual options available.

What types of size and scale of operation can you cater for?

We provide flexible options from short campaigns to long-term contracts, tailored to your organisation’s needs.

Our teams range from 15-seat operations to over 1,000 seats across Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines, providing scalable contact centre solutions to meet various requirements and budgets.

What types of contact centre technology exists to help optimise customer experience?

We use advanced technologies to transform contact centre operations and elevate customer experience.

Our solutions include cloud contact centre platforms, knowledge management systems, conversational AI and virtual assistants, to chatbots and machine learning. These innovative and human-centred solutions ensure seamless interactions, reduced wait times, personalised engagement and efficient issue resolution, available 24/7.

How does Datacom use insight to improve contact centre performance?

Our team uses reporting, analytics, feedback loops and interaction monitoring to understand what is happening across support interactions. We provide tools that can monitor call recordings, analyse topics and phrases, flag sentiment and help teams identify issues earlier.

Can Datacom support both short-term and long-term contact centre needs?

Yes. We offer flexible options from short campaigns to long-term contracts, including scalable operations across Australia, New Zealand and Asia. 

How can the integration of AI enhance the customer experience?

AI integration significantly enhances the customer experience by handling routine queries through intelligent chatbots and virtual assistants, ensuring immediate, 24/7 support. This frees contact centre agents to focus on complex cases, increasing efficiency and customer satisfaction.

AI also provides real-time assistance to agents by suggesting next-best actions, summarising previous interactions, and offering personalised recommendations, enabling faster and more relevant responses. AI-driven sentiment analysis and predictive analytics help understand customer emotions and anticipate needs, leading to more empathetic and proactive support.

What CCaaS options does Datacom offer?

We support Cloud Contact Centre as a Service, (CCaaS), using cloud-based telephony, omnichannel support, workforce management and advanced analytics. Our contact centre technology can also include CRM integrations, automation, knowledge management, conversational AI, virtual assistants, chatbots and integrated analytics. 

What security and data protection measures do you offer?

We employ robust security measures and conduct regular audits to protect your sensitive data. Our compliance with industry regulations and certifications including IRAP, GDPR and HIPAA, underscores our commitment to data protection, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of client and customer information.

How do contact centre technology, workforce management and business process outsourcing (BPO) fit together?

We bring all these parts together as one connected service experience. Contact centre technology connects channels and data, workforce management helps align people to demand, and business process outsourcing (BPO) supports front-office and back-office service delivery.

What contact centre services and CCaaS options are available in Australia?

Datacom provides contact centre services that can be tailored to your operating model, customer volumes and transformation priorities. Options include:

  • Contact centre strategy, service design and operating model improvement.

  • Cloud Contact Centre as a Service, or CCaaS, platforms for voice, email, chat, messaging, social and web interactions.

  • Omnichannel routing and agent desktops that bring customer context together across channels.

  • Customer self-service, knowledge management, conversational AI and virtual assistants.

  • Agent assistance, interaction analytics, quality assurance and performance reporting.

  • Workforce management, including forecasting, scheduling, intraday management and coaching.

  • Managed contact centre services, blended delivery models and business process outsourcing.

  • Platform implementation, integration, optimisation and managed support.

CCaaS is a cloud-based contact centre platform that brings customer interactions across channels into a central service environment. It can include cloud telephony, omnichannel support, workforce management, analytics, automation and AI-enabled capabilities.

How do I move my call centre to a cloud contact centre solution?

Start by assessing the current service model, not just the phone platform. Review customer contact reasons, demand volumes, channels, service levels, customer journeys, technology integrations, workforce processes and security requirements.

A typical cloud contact centre migration includes:

  1. Assess the current environment: Identify legacy systems, contact reasons, pain points, customer data sources and priority journeys.

  2. Define the future service model: Decide which channels, self-service options, routing models, knowledge tools and human support are needed.

  3. Select the CCaaS platform and architecture: Assess platform capabilities, CRM integration, data requirements, security, resilience, reporting and workforce tools.

  4. Design and integrate: Configure voice and digital channels, connect CRM, knowledge, identity, analytics and relevant back-office systems.

  5. Pilot priority journeys: Start with selected teams, channels or customer journeys to validate customer and employee outcomes before scaling.

  6. Migrate in phases: Move services gradually, maintain continuity and provide training, change support and clear governance.

  7. Optimise continuously: Use interaction data, customer feedback and operational measures to improve routing, self-service, knowledge and automation.

A phased approach helps organisations achieve early benefits while reducing the operational risk of replacing a core service platform.

What's the difference between CCaaS and traditional contact centre outsourcing?

CCaaS and contact centre outsourcing solve different parts of the service challenge, although they can be used together.

CCaaS is a technology model. It provides cloud-based software for managing customer interactions across voice and digital channels. Your organisation may operate the platform with its own staff, ask a partner to manage the technology, or combine it with a managed service.

Traditional contact centre outsourcing is an operating model. A provider supplies people and processes to handle all or part of your customer interactions. This may include inbound support, outbound contact, digital channels, back-office processing or overflow capacity.

A combined model gives you both the technology and the operating capability. For example, we can help implement or manage a CCaaS platform while also operating selected customer service journeys, providing workforce management and improving the service model over time.

CCaaS typically offers cloud-based scalability, centralised interaction management, omnichannel capability and less dependence on on-premise hardware. Outsourcing adds flexible service capacity, operational expertise and the ability to run customer-facing and back-office processes.

How can omnichannel contact centre software improve customer experience?

Omnichannel contact centre software brings voice, email, web chat, messaging, SMS and other digital interactions into a connected service environment. It helps customers move between channels without needing to repeat their issue, identity or history.

It can improve customer experience by:

  • Maintaining a shared interaction history across channels.

  • Routing customers using their context, intent, priority and available skills.

  • Giving agents a single view of customer details, previous interactions, cases and knowledge.

  • Supporting consistent answers across self-service, digital and human channels.

  • Improving hand-offs between bots, digital journeys and service teams.

  • Making it easier to measure demand, wait times, repeat contacts, resolution and customer effort.

The value is not simply having more channels. It comes from connecting those channels around shared customer context, knowledge, workflows and service outcomes.

Which contact centre partner can handle regulated industries in Australia?

For regulated industries, choose a contact centre partner that can combine service operations and technology with security, governance, data management and local delivery capability. Important considerations include experience in complex service environments, secure integration with CRM and core systems, privacy and access controls, auditable processes, local support and clear incident management.

Datacom supports contact centre services and cloud contact centre technology for organisations across Australia, including government agencies and complex enterprises. Its contact centre offering includes cloud platforms, knowledge management, conversational AI, virtual assistants and security controls, with stated compliance support across standards and frameworks such as IRAP, GDPR and HIPAA. Datacom also offers sovereign cloud services hosted and managed in Australia for organisations that need stronger in-country control of data, platforms and compliance.
