NECCF.org

The Northeast Contact Center Forum was formed in 2001, as an unbiased “user group” to facilitate the exchange of ideas among contact center executives and managers. Since that time, the NECCF has grown and remained committed to addressing the day-to-day management concerns, and strategic planning needs, of contact center professionals throughout the region, the nation, and the world!

If you want to stay abreast of what is happening in the contact center industry you can attend one of our virtual or live events to network with your colleagues in the Contact Center industry, who are facing the same challenges as you are!  Also, sign up for our newsletter, review this page and our Presentations page, and engage us on LinkedIn, our Facebook Forum, and Twitter.  You can also reach out to one of our Board members at any time!

For larger call centers, in the 75+ agent range, WFM software may make sense and your staff planning person should connect with the Society for Work force Planning Professionals (SWPP) for resources and mentoring.
