London - Technology supplier search engine, Conjungo, was officially launched today to radically reduce online search times for companies looking for local or specialist suppliers of business technologies.

Conjungo, from the Latin meaning ‘to unite’, already has well over 15,000 technology suppliers listed. It is set to become the first port of call for anyone trying to find business technology suppliers, particularly small and medium-sized business owners and managers with no IT resources, due to the way it dramatically speeds up and refines the search for ICT (information technology and communications) suppliers.

“The UK Contact Centre Operational Review (5th edition)”, a recent major study of over 200 contact centres, carried out by ContactBabel, has found that legislation curtailing outbound telemarketing has as yet made little impression on the overall volume of outbound calls being made.

Findings within the ‘Outbound and Call Blending’ chapter of the report, sponsored by Infinity CCS, show that proactive customer service - such as informing of delays and arranging deliveries - accounts for one-third of all outbound activity. Sales calls to existing customers make up 20% of outbound calls, with cold calling still accounting for 14% of activity.
