Talkdesk Phone Calling Cool Again

Growing up in the late 1960s and the 1970s, the phone was a fixture in our house. It was how we connected with friends and family, and how we communicated with almost everyone else outside of our household. It was also the principal means of business communications—right after in-person discussions, of course.

So much has changed since then. The personal computer revolution, the Internet, mobile devices have all drastically transformed the way we interact with each other, transforming even voice communications itself. And while communications preferences have changed, we all fundamentally still need to talk. That’s how we collaborate, that’s how we help customers, that’s how we get things done.


Companies need new collaboration tools.

So why haven’t telephony systems kept up with the pace of change? As our workforce becomes  increasingly hybrid, many new collaboration tools were adopted to empower dispersed teams to work together. But legacy phone systems are causing breakdowns in communication due to limited voice collaboration options and clunky integrations that can’t support the fast-moving coordinated way business is conducted today, impacting both the customer and the employee experience.

Sure, there are newer Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) solutions out there to bridge the gap; but they still largely follow the antiquated monolithic, one-size-fits-all approach that legacy phone system vendors have been pitching for years. And that approach is no longer relevant to how business is done.

Talkdesk is a leader in the Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) space, and we maintain our leadership role by continuously innovating and pushing technical boundaries to keep pace with how modern contact centers serve their customers. So why not apply the same creative thinking and innovation to revolutionize voice communications in the modern hybrid workforce?


Talkdesk Phone enables effortless collaboration.

Talkdesk Phone is the first native business phone system that was built from the ground up on a leading cloud contact center platform—not the other way around. And because it’s native, we’ve been able to bring the advanced features and capabilities of our CX Cloud platform to business phone users. That includes everything from incorporating advanced AI and automation to sophisticated omnichannel routing and extensive analytics.

Talkdesk Phone allows hybrid teams to effortlessly collaborate with each other using voice,  anywhere they happen to be and on any device. It allows contact center agents to communicate with other subject matter experts in the organization to solve complex customer problems quickly, increasing first call resolution and significantly improving customer satisfaction, loyalty, and retention. It allows calls to seamlessly be routed between backoffice employees and contact center agents so that calls get answered every time, and preserve context throughout. It provides a streamlined and simplified experience for both users and admins by leveraging the same interface for both agents and business phone users, a single reporting and admin interface and a single omnichannel routing engine for all business communications. It substantially reduces complexity and costs by running everything natively on a single platform.
