DMA Contact Centre Council - February

So, what were you doing last week on Wednesday afternoon?

The DMA Contact Centre Council was gathered at DMA House in a lively and stimulating afternoon along with guests from BT, Noetica, UltraComms, Jaywing, Dignity, Listen, FirstOrion, Maintel.

During the session the council:

  • Discussed and debated the meaning and implications Ofcom’s revised Persistent Misuse rules
  • Had a monthly update on the breadth of regulations that have an impact on contact centre operations – from ICO fines to Which having to apologise for marketing to prospects without having obtained their proper permissions
  • Heard from Janine Paterson, Solicitor and Legal Manager at the DMA, on the latest news on GDPR and the development of the EU Commission’s new ePrivacy Directive
  • Had a presentation from BT on their new Call Protect service
  • Started work to define what will be required in the revised Contact Centre Guide, which will need to:
    • Reflect the changing nature of contact centres – with the rise of new channels and social media, omnichannel customers, developing regulations and a changing workforce
    • Further to the Council’s mission to “…Actively seek to identify, shape, reinforce and share best practice”
