Smartworld Launches Cloud Customer Engagement Solutions in the UAE

Smartworld has selected Altitude Software to Launch the first Cloud Customer Engagement Solutions in the UAE. Smartworld is a joint venture between Etisalat and Dubai World Central. The company is one of the emerging technology companies with an impeccable track record of developing and delivering cutting-edge digital solutions in the region. Altitude Software delivers a robust, modular contact center solution that handles all customer interactions and unifies all touch points throughout the organization.

Enabling UAE companies to focus on customer service while reducing costs
The new Smartworld Cloud Customer Engagement solutions bring to market a high value-added offering, enabling companies in the UAE to focus on customer service while reducing costs and optimizing resources. Hosted within Smartworld data center at Dubai World Central, these are completely customizable solutions that can be up and running within a matter of hours with little to no capital investment. Contact Centers operations are able to scale up or down based on demand, while optimizing resources and saving time and money. Free from IT and communications operational tasks, contact centers can focus on their core business relationships to become more productive and competitive.

"Today in UAE, a vast majority of contact centers are internal. There are large numbers of companies who are unwilling to outsource all or part of their customer relationships and want to keep control of their customer relationships while not managing a call center's administrative constraints. It is this type of organizations that we target through this cloud-based solution, offering the same quality of service and performance while allowing companies to retain control of their customer relationships. Our expertise both in the IT and CRM, combined with our Data Centre expertise allows us to master all the components of this offer," says Mohammed Fouz, CEO of Smartworld.
