Call Center Challenges
Be it for research, making sales, or providing after-sales service, companies heavily rely on their call centers. Call center managers face daily challenges in balancing targets provided by management with the basic operations involved in running their call centers. A few of these challenges are described below.

Agent Attrition Rates
A number of surveys have revealed that call centers have the worst attrition rates. An annual agent turnover rate of more than 25% is witnessed across the industry. The primary reasons that employees decide to quit are:
• More attractive opportunities elsewhere
• Low salaries
• Inconvenient work hours
• Redundant work
• Fewer career advancement opportunities
Call center operations suffer due to high agent turnover. Managers have to constantly train new staff only to find them gone in a year.

High Cost of Operations
Call centers are full of computers and technological gadgets that need proper maintenance. Furthermore, a call center that decides to purchase a workforce management system (WFM) must pay more than $50,000.

Cultural Complexities
When call centers are outsourced, managers face cultural complexities in their operations. Calls to and from foreign countries often meet cultural barriers that pose significant challenges in call center operations.

Solutions for Effective Call Center Operations
Since a single challenge may have multiple solutions, the implementation of the best solutions for operational problems is essential. Four specific call center operations solutions are discussed below.
Creating an Intranet
Call center operations can be more effective if an intranet is put to use. Agents should be encouraged to use the intranet, which may offer a help desk, recreational activities information, messages from management, company newsletters, and details on the company’s latest developments. This can help staff members remain connected with management.
Conducting Research
Every call center has its unique problems. Though time consuming, research on the requirements of your staff and customers will ensure optimal performance. A survey of staff and customers can be conducted, or you can analyze call logs or statistics to gather information on problems customers are running into.
Staff Training
A vital part of call center operations is training staff members. Agents should be aware of the full range of information available to them. Proper trainers provide the instructions needed to prepare an agent for success.
Examining Key Statistics
There are certain indicators that show the level of performance in a call center. Call center operations can be run more smoothly if the manager leverages on statistics pertaining to factors such as call volume, cost per call, percentage of successful calls, average time per call, and customer satisfaction.

ICCT trying to bear best international practices and deep local Knowledge to their clients and students. It is the first call center training institute in Bangladesh which actually provides the total solution including software’s, technologies, human resource and the technical supports of a call center industry with an office space of 1500sqft situated at Farmgate.

Bangladesh Call Center Diagram
Call center has the ability to handle a considerable volume of calls at the same time, to screen calls and forward those to someone qualified to handle them, and to log calls. The Call Center should obtain the required connectivity including Satellite or VSAT bandwidth from Service Providers duly licensed by BTRC.

The connectivity between Call Center and overseas client should be through International Private Leased Circuit. International Private Leased Circuit connection is to be obtained from authorized submarine cable operator. The primary connectivity would be through SEA-ME-WE 4 submarine cable. The operator may have backup route through Satellite or VSAT until the availability of alternate submarine cable.

Call centers are used by mail-order catalog organizations, telemarketing companies, computer product help desks, and any large organization that uses the telephone to sell or service products and services.

If a small teleservicing company reaches the market saturation, it cannot increase its client base further without diversification. Every business entrepreneur knows this and many see that a logical diversification is to add an alarm monitoring service. The startup cost for an alarm monitoring station may be as low as $6,000 but it can cross $50,000 barrier.

Deciding cost structure will depend on your client base. If it includes high risk locations like bank and jewelry store, your monitoring hardware and software may have to be certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), dramatically increasing your startup costs. For services dealing primarily with household or regular small to medium size business, the cost can be ninety percent lower. The UL logo appears on billions of products throughout the world.

With the most items, the UL experts test one prototype to be sure of its requirements for its product type. But it is true that Underwriters Laboratories take a different approach to alarm systems.

UL certification is inspired by Fire inspectors and insurance companies to the point that throughout the United States it is basically impossible to establish a fire alarm monitoring station without UL compliance throughout the United States. It will also be better to remember that security services are among the fastest growing companies in the world today, and it is a coming fire risk that is driving all that growth, rather an increased crime rate.

Most call centers know the significance of having a good and reliable backup power source. It is a matter of sorrow that all centers have not taken steps to have the protection or to ensure that it is enough and maintained properly.

Add to this possible quality issues with the power of utility like brownouts, sags, surges, spikes, and so forth (see the Power Glossary for an explanation), it need to be covered with backup power . Whether your center needs to install backup power for the first time, add more capacity, or replace aging systems there is a general strategy to follow.

Use UPS systems for immediate, short-term protection supported by electrical generators for long-term outages. Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) provide a swift source of power for short durations. As most power outages, problems last less than two hours, UPS are the first line of defense. In general, a UPS takes DC power from batteries and converts it into the AC power needed to run call center switches, computers, and networks.

The more batteries, the longer power can be supplied at a greater cost. There are different types of UPS systems and produce different qualities of voltage. While manufacturers might use different terminology, UPS fall into two general categories. The first are those that run power through them, conditioning and filtering it all the time.

When there is a problem with the utility power, these UPS are on the job working. The second type monitors the line but it does not filter it. At the sign of a problem, they turn on, take over, and supply power till the utility power is restored and stable. It is obvious that both approaches have their strengths and weaknesses. If you have any confusion, it has a depth discussion with vendor, preferably one that sells both kinds.

Since each UPS system is rated for a certain range of load (the amount of power it can supply) as call centers grow and more things are connected to a main UPS, often its rating can be exceeded. This can cause a UPS to underperforms or to not work at all.

Rather than discard an existing system that otherwise is in fine working condition and replacing it with something bigger and more expensive, an option is to supplement it with secondary UPS or a number smaller distributed units. In this way the original investment is maintained, while increasing the overall power protection.

Generators are run in parallel to the utility company lines, but are not connected to them. To use a generator’s power, the power company must be disconnected and then the generator connected. This sounds complicated, but it is easily accomplished with a transfer switch.

A transfer switch, which must be installed by an electrician, can be either manual or automatic. While manual switches are inexpensive, someone must activate it and know how and when to do so. In the midst of a power outage, this seemingly simple task can introduce some unexpected problems. An automatic transfer switch handles all of this without human intervention. It is recommended for all but the most basic (and non-critical) installations.

UPSs and generators are not pieces of equipment that you buy, install, and then forget about them. If you underestimate them, they will fail. You won’t know until you need them because of a power outage. Then, you are no better off than if you hadn’t purchased them in the first place.

Interpretation

Present Situation of Call Center in Bangladesh

According to a recent research done by the San Antonio-based research and consulting firm Frost & Sullivan Inc., the call center outsourcing market reached $19.5 billion in revenues in 2005 and is likely to reach $20.1 billion in the course of 2012.

The outsourcers are also under increasing demands to do more than just increase efficiencies. Clients expect outsourced call centers to improve retention, and reliability as well. These days, companies look during vendor selection process is political stability of the location. They will certainly make sure that the location is in a politically stable place for doing business at ease.

As Bangladesh from this perspective needs to work hard to prove that the company will get 100 per cent support from the government and leading political groups. For the Bangladeshi organizations entering into successful call center outsourcing relationship requires a major time commitment.

The prospects of this industry very new to Bangladesh, Bangladeshi companies initiated joint venture with USA and India to open up training academy in collaboration with Call Center School, the leading for the professional development of individuals in the Call Center industry.

It has been claimed that Bangladesh can take advantage of the rising costs of operating call Canter in Philippines and India in recent years by utilizing its low wages and large labor force. There is man power available for employment in Call Centers at much lower rates here than in neighboring India, capability of the existing work force of carrying out the complex responsibilities of Call Centers.

Habibullah N. Karim, President of Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services (BASIS) also the Chairman of the IT Committee of American Chamber in Bangladesh (AmCham) said that the call center opportunity is real and Bangladesh can have a share of this market through aggressive entrepreneurship.

The call centers provided hot business prospect but Bangladesh is a late entrant. As such Bangladesh does not have the starter benefit. Bangladesh must study the mistakes made by entrepreneurs in India and Philippines and carefully perform its business plans after going through the full diligence rotation.

Any miss-step early on could curse disaster for the whole industry. It’s a large chunk of today’s Bangladeshi youth is aspiring to work in a call center. Good salaries, professional work environments, and chances to enhance one’s communication skills, and exposure to customers on the other side of the globe, all have proved to be enough to ensnare candidates in huge numbers.

But because of lack of exposure to the extremely aggressive standards of Call Centers that there is an acute lack of human resources in Bangladesh with the specific set of skills that are required to excel in this industry.

That is why, although a Call Centers operative can be hired for 20,000 rupees a month in India, a salary of more than 50,000 taka will be sufficient to induce a person with similar sets of skills to become a call center operative in Bangladesh under current circumstances Mr.Saif the call center is a dot com phenomenon which may soon be dispensed with like its predecessors.

On the country, it believes that this is a HR intensive industry which uses IT as a support mechanism. Bangladesh has access to the similar technology available in the United States and India.

Although Bangladesh is a late entrant in the market, it is optimistic about the long run possibilities for Bangladesh. But for these possibilities to materialize, Bangladeshi organizations need to have a major time commitment and make investments in developing the man power to meet the international standards. Comparing the training academies for call center that have sprung up like mushrooms all over the country.
