Services › Cloud contact centre transformation

Move your whole contact centre to the cloud, one stage at a time.

We design your new platform around your organisation and bring it in alongside the systems you already run. First channels go live in days and the rest follows within weeks, so your customers and agents never face a cutover day.

Scope

Everything your contact centre does today, moved and accounted for.

Nothing is left behind on the old platform by accident, because the review lists every flow, number and report before the build starts.

Numbers and call routingYour phone numbers, IVR menus, queues and opening hours, rebuilt and tested before any caller reaches them.
ChannelsVoice, live chat, email, SMS and WhatsApp answered from one agent desktop.
CRM and back-office systemsThe customer record opens with the conversation, from the CRM and line-of-business systems you already use.
PaymentsCard payments taken on the call with Ciptex Pay, which is PCI DSS 4.0 compliant, so agents never see or hear card details.
ReportingThe wallboards and reports your managers rely on, rebuilt on live data from every channel.
AI where it helpsMAIA handles routine enquiries on the channels you choose and hands over to an agent with the full conversation.

Most migrations go wrong on the day everything switches at once. We remove that day. Contacts move across a channel or a team at a time, and each stage can be paused or rolled back without customers noticing.

Which route

Start with two channels, or plan the whole move.

Both routes end at the same platform. The difference is how much you move at the start.

First channels are usually live in days. The full platform follows within weeks, depending on how many channels, teams and integrations are in scope. We agree the stages and dates with you after the review.

Customers keep the same numbers and contact routes. Agents move a team at a time, after training on their own queues, while the current platform keeps running beside the new one.

No. The platform is built to work with the CRM, payment gateways and line-of-business systems you already run.

Twilio Flex, configured with Ciptex RACE plugins. We have been a Twilio partner since 2012 and Gold since 2021, the UK's longest-standing.

Sprint gets two channels live fast. A transformation plans and moves the whole contact centre. Many customers start with Sprint and continue into the full move.

Our UK team supports the platform 24/7 and makes changes with you as your organisation changes.

Proof

The platform behind conversations that can't go wrong.

Face-to-face debt advice kept going through lockdown, across 55 London advice centres.

When COVID-19 closed the centres overnight, advisers from 21 partner charities moved to calls, webchat, WhatsApp and video from home, all in one place.
