SiPADU Systems, the ICT solutions integration arm of Telekom Brunei Berhad (TelBru), in cooperation with ICT Leadership and Management (`ILM)Academy yesterday held a one-day forum on ‘Best Practices for Call Centres’ at The Empire Hotel and Country Club in Jerudong.
Three international speakers were brought in from Singapore, the Philippines and India to present best practices adopted by call centres in the US, India and Philippines as well as the benefits of a planned, top driven performance management and the utilisation of a performance scorecard for call centres.
“This event is aimed at providing a wide spectrum of call centre best practices with international industry bench-marking strategies for Contact Centre Services to support both government and corporate organisations,” said Lim Hong Beng, the General Manager of TelBru’s Strategic Investment unit in his opening remarks.
“SiPADU Systems intends to explore the call centre business in Brunei Darussalam to support help desk business functions at SMEs, government departments and ministries. It is entering the business process outsourcing market with a view of creating values that will bring about economic benefits, cost reduction and optimisation of resource allocation given the shortage of ICT talents in the country,” he said.
