About Kurt Decorte
I'm Kurt Decorte, founder of the Contact Center Zone.
I've spent years working with contact center technology and operations, with particular expertise in call center software, workforce management, forecasting, staffing, scheduling and the AI technology that supports modern contact centers.
I created Contact Center Zone to help businesses make better technology decisions without having to sit through dozens of vendor sales pitches.

Built for Real Contact Centers
A 25-agent contact center doesn't have the same requirements as a 200-agent operation.
That's why I don't believe in simply ranking software based on just feature lists.
I look at your actual operation and the things that matter when you're making a technology decision:
The right technology depends on how your contact center actually operates.
What I'm Testing
Contact-center technology is changing quickly. I'm researching the platforms that can have a real impact on your operation.
Contact Center & CCaaS
Voice, routing, IVR, ACD, omnichannel and the core platforms used to run modern contact centers.
Workforce Management
Forecasting, staffing, scheduling, adherence and the technology that helps you get the right people in the right place at the right time.
AI Customer Service
AI voice agents, automated customer service, agent assist, AI QA, coaching, analytics and automation.
Customer Support Software
Helpdesk, chat, shared inbox, omnichannel support and platforms that bring customer interactions together.
I Look Beyond the Vendor's Sales Pitch
Every software company says its platform is easy to use.
Every vendor says its AI is better.
Every product page lists impressive features.
But what happens when you actually use the software?
The goal isn't to find the software with the longest feature list.
It's to find the software that fits your business.
Independent Reviews & Comparisons
I'm building detailed reviews and comparisons of the technology contact centers are considering today.
You'll find comparisons such as:
- • Vendor A vs. Vendor B
- • Best alternatives to Vendor A
- • Best software for a 50-agent contact center
- • Best WFM software for 100 agents
- • What contact-center software actually costs
The objective is simple: I give you the information you need to make an informed decision.
Why Contact Center Zone?
There are plenty of websites that list contact-center software.
There are plenty of sites that publish vendor comparisons.
And there are plenty of vendors willing to tell you why their own product is the best.
Contact Center Zone takes a different approach.
Start with the contact center. Then look at the technology.
My focus is:
My goal is to recommend the technology that best fits your requirements.
Start With Your Contact Center
