    Hi folks,

    We're looking it changing our contact center's answering service that handles after-hours calls. Any recommendations out there? Requirements are:

    • The service answers as our business, listens to caller's issue, offers to have either A) have an after-hours specialist (our staff) call them back, or B) take a message for specialists to call them back during business hours.
    • We would provide (or perhaps even fill out a web form) the names and phone numbers of the on-call specialists that week, in order of priority on which specialists to contact if the main one doesn't answer (or doesn't return the call within a couple minutes).
    • We would want a daily report from the vendor on: How many calls they got the night before, what was the general issue the caller needed help with, time and duration of call, which specialists were contacted, and which one(s) responded.

    On our system end (AACC 6.4) we simply route calls to the vendor's phone number once the last agent of the day logs out.

    Any ideas? Thanks all!

    --Chip
