Questions to Ask Call Recording Vendors

Posted by Kevin Levi on Jun 26, 2018 12:44:19 PM
Call recording software and quality monitoring software can bring tremendous value to any contact center and/or enterprise, but how do you know which vendor/solution to choose - or better yet - which questions to ask? Right now there are over 100 call recording/quality monitoring vendors in the industry. Not all are created equal. You need a set of questions to ask each vendor to determine who's a contender and who's a pretender. Hands raised

Questions to Ask Yourself...

  • Does this vendor seem to really understand my unique business challenges, and does it have relevant experience it can speak to?
  • What do I primarily need this solution to help me with?
    Quality Assurance
    Regulatory Compliance
    Dispute Resolution
    Agent Training
    Order Verification
  • Do I want to capture all calls or merely a sampling of calls?
  • Am I considering the needs of all my constituents? Managers? Business users? Technical staff? Sales? Marketing? Product Development? Legal?
  • What is my budget? Do I have additional budget for implementation and support?
  • How many seats do I need?


Questions to Ask the Vendor...

  • What capabilities does the solution have to support my regulatory and industry requirements (e.g. HIPAA, PCI-DSS, Telemarketing Sales Rule, TCPA, GDPR, MiFID II etc.)?
