Making Vicidial® Easy

Linq's outbound call center software is designed to be easy to install inhouse. It uses Windows 8 OS, so no need to hire Linux administrators. It has a hosted "twin" that allows you flexibility to switch between inhouse and hosted flavors. You can start with hosted, and then take the dialer inhouse with automatic migration of calling data. You can also switch back to hosted when facing trouble with the inhouse dialer! Inhouse dialers are free, with many optional services from Linq to make your life easier.

Bandwidth for Hosted Dialer

Predictive Dialers dial more lines than there are agents, because most calls are not answered or land in voice mail. Predictive dialing thus uses much more bandwidth than manual dialing. The ratio of lines dialed to agents is called pacing ratio in dialer terminology. If pacing ratio is 2.5, and you have 10 agents, the dialer will dial 25 calls simultaneously. This is explained in the diagram.
If the dialer is in your premises, you must cater to bandwidth for 25 calls, whereas if it is hosted with us, you need to cater to just 10 calls.
