The Legacy Problem

Your On-Premise Contact Centre is Working Against You.

Avaya, Genesys, Cisco — these platforms were built for a world of physical offices, fixed agent headcounts, and predictable call volumes. That world is gone. Your contact centre infrastructure shouldn't be holding your business back in it.

Amazon Connect was purpose-built for the modern contact centre: cloud-native, pay-per-use, AI-native, and infinitely scalable. OrenCloud migrates 250-seat operations from legacy platforms with zero agent downtime and a measurably better experience from day one.

Per-seat licences regardless of utilisation — you pay for every agent whether they're logged in or not
Expensive hardware refresh cycles — PBX, gateways, phones, and maintenance contracts that run forever
Months to add capacity — scaling up for campaigns or seasonal peaks requires procurement and infrastructure lead time
AI bolted on after the fact — chatbots and IVR upgrades are expensive add-ons, not built-in capabilities
Agents tied to desks — remote and hybrid working is difficult, inconsistent, or insecure on legacy platforms
Reporting that requires a specialist — real-time and historical analytics locked behind complex tools your supervisors can't use

Platform Capabilities

Everything Your Contact
Centre Needs. Built In.

Amazon Connect is not a traditional CCaaS platform. It's a cloud-native service that integrates natively with the full AWS AI and analytics ecosystem.

Amazon Connect · Core
Omnichannel Contact Centre
Voice, chat, email, and tasks unified in a single agent workspace. Agents handle interactions across every channel without switching tools. Supervisors see everything in real time through a single glass pane.
Voice · Chat · Email Unified Agent CCP Real-time Monitoring
Amazon Lex
AI-Powered IVR & Chatbots
Replace rigid DTMF IVR menus with natural language self-service powered by Amazon Lex. Customers speak or type naturally. Lex understands intent, handles routine queries automatically, and transfers to agents with full context when needed.
Amazon Lex v2 Natural Language IVR Self-Service Automation
Amazon Bedrock
Generative AI Agent Assist
Bedrock powers real-time agent assistance — surfacing relevant knowledge articles, suggesting responses, and summarising calls automatically. Agents handle more complex queries with confidence. Average handle time drops measurably from week one.

Amazon QuickSight
Contact Centre Analytics
Real-time and historical reporting built on QuickSight. Supervisor dashboards that don't require a data analyst to interpret. CSAT trends, AHT, abandonment, SLA adherence — all visible, all actionable, all in one place.
QuickSight Contact Lens Real-time Analytics
Connect Forecasting
AI Workforce Management
Connect's built-in forecasting, scheduling, and capacity planning uses ML to predict contact volumes and optimise staffing. No separate WFM tool required. Agents receive schedules in real time. Supervisors make adjustments instantly.

Contact Lens for Connect
Real-time & Post-call Analysis
Contact Lens transcribes and analyses every call in real time — detecting customer sentiment, compliance risks, and escalation signals. Supervisors are alerted to calls that need intervention. QA teams review the right calls, not random samples.

250 Seats Is Where
OrenCloud Delivers
Best Value.

Amazon Connect is right for contact centres of all sizes — but the economics and capability become compelling at the 250-seat tier. At this scale, the savings versus legacy licensing are substantial, and the AI-native capabilities of Connect move from nice-to-have to genuine competitive advantage.

01
Pay-Per-Minute Economics at Scale
At 250 seats, eliminating per-seat legacy licence fees typically saves 30–45% on contact centre costs annually. OrenCloud models the full TCO during discovery so you see the saving before you commit.
02
AI Becomes a Team Member, Not a Feature
With 250 agents, Bedrock-powered assist and Lex self-service automation delivers measurable FTE savings — typically 15–25% reduction in handled contacts through self-service deflection alone.
03
Supervisor Intelligence at This Scale Matters
Managing 250 agents on legacy tools requires significant supervisor headcount. Connect's real-time dashboards, Contact Lens alerts, and WFM automation gives each supervisor more visibility with less effort.
04
Zero-Downtime Migration, Phased Approach
OrenCloud migrates 250-seat operations in controlled phases — typically 8–12 weeks — with legacy and Connect running in parallel until the team is fully validated and confident.

AI That Handles
the Calls Your
Agents Shouldn't.

The combination of Amazon Lex for natural language understanding and Amazon Bedrock for generative AI creates a contact centre AI layer that goes far beyond traditional IVR. Routine queries are resolved without agent involvement. When calls do reach an agent, they arrive with context, sentiment analysis, and suggested responses already surfaced.

OrenCloud designs and deploys the full AI conversation architecture — intent design, Lex bot configuration, Bedrock knowledge base integration, and Connect flow design — as part of every implementation.

Customer Contact
Customer calls or messages. Connect receives the contact and routes to the appropriate flow based on number, time, and customer data from CRM lookup.
Lex NLU — Intent Detection
Lex identifies the customer's intent in natural language. Handles account queries, bookings, status checks, and FAQs without human involvement.
Bedrock — Knowledge Resolution
For complex queries Lex can't resolve, Bedrock searches your knowledge base and generates accurate, contextual responses — still without needing an agent.
Intelligent Agent Transfer
When agent involvement is needed, the call transfers with full context — transcript, sentiment score, identified intent, and suggested response already on screen.
