There are no physical facilities required as all the features are available and accessible on the cloud.

In other words, you no longer need to pay for office space, parking space, rented hardware, office maintenance, and more.
- Cost efficiency aside, virtual contact centers are a good opportunity to scale your business. Most cloud providers offer a pay-as-you-grow payment model, which allows you to upscale or downscale at will. You have the opportunity to hire within the country and abroad, while not compensating for any relocation as everyone can work from anywhere.
