Below is an example of a cloud contact center cost comparison we recently did for a Berkshire Hathaway Company. Cost should not be your primary motivation in seeking a new contact center, but we fully understand you should negotiate the best deal possible. For our engagements, we have had the most success ethically; we pit the cloud contact center vendors against each other to ensure our Clients receive the best value possible. For us, a win is better overall value than just a price.
