Read how Jtel is transforming the call center industry using Chrome, which has added efficiency, time savings and ROI (45% increase for Jtel customers).</i> <br /> <br /> Think about the last time you needed to get in touch with a business. How did you contact them? You may have picked up the phone, but it’s just as likely you sent an email or a text message, tagged the company in a post on social media or visited the website to chat with a customer service rep. Today, there are dozens of ways for people to communicate with businesses. Companies who embrace this fact are rewarded with more engaged customers. <br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.jtel.de/en/" target="_blank">Jtel</a> set out to reinvent the call center so businesses can handle all the ways people get in touch with them. Based on our 25 years of experience providing call center technology for telecommunications firms and enterprises, we’ve built a new multi-channel call center platform using Chromebooks and <a href="https://webrtc.org/" target="_blank">WebRTC</a>. WebRTC is an open source project for real-time browser-based communications that was developed by Google. The Chrome and WebRTC solution eliminates telephones while letting agents handle email, chat and voice calls. Rather than switching between a phone and computer, the agent uses just one device. <br /> <br /> Chrome has improved our call centers on three important fronts: call center teams work more efficiently, their calls are more effective and they save time. Chrome devices are easy to configure and manage, and they’re highly reliable — particularly important because call centers are notoriously difficult to install. Chrome and WebRTC have dramatically reduced the time required to set up a new call center: it takes four hours to set up a center with 200 to 300 Chromebooks, compared to the four days it takes to set up a traditional call center of similar size. <br /> <br /> Chrome saves our customers money as well. In a traditional call center, each agent needs a PC and a telephone. There are also high deployment costs for each agent because of the complexity of the systems. Between hardware and implementation, it adds up to almost $1,300 per agent. Chrome and RTC save a huge chunk of that — about $800 per agent. By our calculations, that leads to a 45 percent increase in ROI for our customers.<br /> <br /> Chromebooks with WebRTC also transform the way companies interact with their customers. It lets agents connect with customers in multiple ways, not just by phone. And it allows companies to integrate their call centers with their CRM systems so they can create self-service modules for their customers. This empowers customers to resolve issues on their own. <br /> <br /> Companies need to to be able to help customers, however they choose to get in touch. Today, that’s through phone calls, emails, text messages and live chat. As these channels keep evolving, we will, too, thanks to Chrome and our partnership with Google. Chrome is helping us build the future of communications.</div> </script> <noscript> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Lewis Graham, Chief Executive Officer, Jtel</span> <br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> Today we hear from Lewis Graham, Chief Executive Officer of Jtel, which provides call center technologies for telecommunications companies and enterprises.

WebRTC is an open source project for real-time browser-based communications that was developed by Google. The Chrome and WebRTC solution eliminates telephones while letting agents handle email, chat and voice calls. Rather than switching between a phone and computer, the agent uses just one device. <br /> <br /> Chrome has improved our call centers on three important fronts: call center teams work more efficiently, their calls are more effective and they save time. Chrome devices are easy to configure and manage, and they’re highly reliable — particularly important because call centers are notoriously difficult to install. Chrome and WebRTC have dramatically reduced the time required to set up a new call center: it takes four hours to set up a center with 200 to 300 Chromebooks, compared to the four days it takes to set up a traditional call center of similar size. <br /> <br /> Chrome saves our customers money as well. In a traditional call center, each agent needs a PC and a telephone. There are also high deployment costs for each agent because of the complexity of the systems. Between hardware and implementation, it adds up to almost $1,300 per agent. Chrome and RTC save a huge chunk of that — about $800 per agent. By our calculations, that leads to a 45 percent increase in ROI for our customers.<br /> <br /> Chromebooks with WebRTC also transform the way companies interact with their customers. It lets agents connect with customers in multiple ways, not just by phone. And it allows companies to integrate their call centers with their CRM systems so they can create self-service modules for their customers. This empowers customers to resolve issues on their own. <br /> <br /> Companies need to to be able to help customers, however they choose to get in touch. Today, that’s through phone calls, emails, text messages and live chat. As these channels keep evolving, we will, too, thanks to Chrome and our partnership with Google. Chrome is helping us build the future of communications.</div> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/09/how-Jtel-used-Chrome-to-reinvent-the-call-center.html?hl=en'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:How Jtel used Chrome to reinvent the call center &url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/09/how-Jtel-used-Chrome-to-reinvent-the-call-center.html?hl=en&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/09/how-Jtel-used-Chrome-to-reinvent-the-call-center.html?hl=en'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='3' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/09/how-Jtel-used-Chrome-to-reinvent-the-call-center.html?hl=en' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/09/how-Jtel-used-Chrome-to-reinvent-the-call-center.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/09/how-Jtel-used-Chrome-to-reinvent-the-call-center.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Chrome?hl=en' rel='tag'> Chrome </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Chromebooks?hl=en' rel='tag'> Chromebooks </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/customer%20love?hl=en' rel='tag'> customer love </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Gone%20Google?hl=en' rel='tag'> Gone Google </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='1538986514854434216' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/09/how-Suffolk-Libraries-uses-Chrome-devices-to-keep-visitors-coming-back-for-more.html?hl=en' itemprop='url' title='How Suffolk Libraries uses Chrome devices to keep visitors coming back for more'> How Suffolk Libraries uses Chrome devices to keep visitors coming back for more </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Tuesday, September 6, 2016 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Leon Paternoster, Deputy Head of IT, Suffolk Libraries</span><br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> Today we hear from Leon Paternoster, Deputy Head of IT at <a href="https://www.suffolklibraries.co.uk/" target="_blank">Suffolk Libraries</a> in Ipswich, UK.

The Chromebit was a better hardware solution for our manufacturing environment because its lack of moving components makes it less susceptible to problems caused by heat and dust on the shop floor. <br /> <br /> The combination of Chrome Digital Signage and Promevo's expert guidance and support helps us deliver plastic solutions efficiently without straining our resources.</div> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/07/Royal-Technologies-keeps-the-most-up-to-date-data-on-factory-floors-with-digital-signage-powered-by-Chrome-and-help-from-Promevo.html?hl=en'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:Royal Technologies keeps the most up-to-date data on factory floors with digital signage powered by Chrome and help from Promevo&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/07/Royal-Technologies-keeps-the-most-up-to-date-data-on-factory-floors-with-digital-signage-powered-by-Chrome-and-help-from-Promevo.html?hl=en&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/07/Royal-Technologies-keeps-the-most-up-to-date-data-on-factory-floors-with-digital-signage-powered-by-Chrome-and-help-from-Promevo.html?hl=en'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='3' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/07/Royal-Technologies-keeps-the-most-up-to-date-data-on-factory-floors-with-digital-signage-powered-by-Chrome-and-help-from-Promevo.html?hl=en' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/07/Royal-Technologies-keeps-the-most-up-to-date-data-on-factory-floors-with-digital-signage-powered-by-Chrome-and-help-from-Promevo.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/07/Royal-Technologies-keeps-the-most-up-to-date-data-on-factory-floors-with-digital-signage-powered-by-Chrome-and-help-from-Promevo.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Chromebit?hl=en' rel='tag'> Chromebit </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Chromebooks?hl=en' rel='tag'> Chromebooks </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Chromebox%20for%20meetings?hl=en' rel='tag'> Chromebox for meetings </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Chrome?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google Chrome </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='4987003669678776681' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/06/creative-tools-on-Chromebooks-foster-skills-of-the-future.html?hl=en' itemprop='url' title='Creative tools on Chromebooks foster skills of the future'> Creative tools on Chromebooks foster skills of the future </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Tuesday, June 28, 2016 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Karen Greenleaf and Jenny Tolan, Chromebooks for Education team</span><br /> <br /> <i>(Cross-posted on the Google for Education <a href="http://googleforeducation.blogspot.com/2016/06/creative-tools-on-chromebooks-foster.html" target="_blank">Blog</a>.)</i> <br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> Earlier today <a href="http://googleforeducation.blogspot.com/2016/06/updates-from-iste-4-new-tools-to-help.html" target="_blank">we announced</a> four new ways to help teachers engage their students using Google tools.

We even helped prospects with the deployment costs of going Google through the help of our <a href="https://www.google.com/work/partners/" target="_blank">Google for Work Partners</a>. And if interested companies weren’t under contract, we offered to help pay for their migrations from other solutions to Google Apps.<br /> <br /> Since then, nearly 200,000 additional users have gone Google. We’ve also received tremendous interest to make the program available to smaller companies. So today, we’re excited to announce we’re extending the global program until the end of 2016. Companies between 250 and 3,000 that currently have an EA with another vendor can qualify for zero-cost Google Apps licenses for the term of their existing EA. And now, companies with 100 users (previously 250) to as many as 3,000 can qualify for a Deployment Voucher. This greatly expands the number of companies that can take advantage of the Deployment Voucher. <br /> <br /> In addition to saving money and improving business productivity, the security benefits of <a href="https://apps.google.com/" target="_blank">Google Apps</a> are especially valuable to mid-market businesses. For mid-market customers that sign up for this promotion, Google will pay for a Security Workshop, to the value of $750USD, through our trained Partners, to help them maximize the security and data protections Google Apps offers. <br /> <br /> One example of those data protections are <a href="http://yubico.com/gfw-mm-offer" target="_blank">Security Keys</a>. To help get customers started with security keys, our security partner Yubico will provide a limited number of free Security Keys for mid-market customers. These keys help protect users from phishing, account hijacking and other attacks with 1-touch encrypted, 2-step verification. They’re state-of-the art in account protection. They’re also a great example of the security benefits of Google Apps.

We even helped prospects with the deployment costs of going Google through the help of our <a href="https://www.google.com/work/partners/" target="_blank">Google for Work Partners</a>. And if interested companies weren’t under contract, we offered to help pay for their migrations from other solutions to Google Apps.<br /> <br /> Since then, nearly 200,000 additional users have gone Google. We’ve also received tremendous interest to make the program available to smaller companies. So today, we’re excited to announce we’re extending the global program until the end of 2016.
