01 Before

Building the foundation for a next-generation contact center through cost reduction and faster operations

Rococo Co., Ltd. provides IT outsourcing, help desk, technical support, and BPO services. The company's Global Technical Center (GTC) delivers a wide range of support — from corporate help desks to B2C contact center operations — around the clock, 365 days a year.

As the maintenance period for its long-used on-premises PBX approached its end, the company began considering the foundation for its next-generation contact center. In renewing the system, a key question was whether to continue with an on-premises environment or migrate to a cloud-based contact center.

02 Desire to change

High regard for the partner's proposal capability and support structure

Rococo compared and evaluated several cloud-based contact center solutions, weighing factors such as implementation and operating costs, support structure, number portability, and future scalability.

While many products met the functional requirements, the deciding factors were the flexibility of NiCE CXone and the support of implementation partners ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Corporation (CTC) and Aisan Information System Co., Ltd.

From the evaluation stage onward, CTC worked with Rococo to present concrete proposals covering both technical and operational aspects, carefully addressing concerns about the cloud migration so the project could proceed with confidence.

03 NiCE solution

Partner companies collaborate to drive a migration project focused on stable operation

For Rococo, this system renewal was a critical project: migrating the foundation of a contact center that operates 24/7, 365 days a year. The migration had to proceed without interrupting service, making the quality of project management just as important as the system itself.

CTC took the lead on the project, managing progress and issues primarily through weekly regular meetings with Rococo. By thoroughly sharing meeting minutes and action items, the team kept all stakeholders aligned throughout the migration.

CTC also took the lead in coordinating with line carriers and handling technical matters. When issues or risks arose, the team visualized the situation and clearly communicated the response plan, helping Rococo make decisions internally and explain progress to stakeholders.

04 Results

Achieving cost reduction and improved operational efficiency

Since introducing NiCE CXone, Rococo has seen major improvements in its operations.

In the previous environment, every configuration change required a request to the vendor. Now, the company can handle most changes in-house — not only cutting operating costs but also greatly shortening the time needed to launch new operations and make configuration changes.

This flexibility is a major benefit, especially for the BPO business, where rapid response to new projects is essential.

“We feel the cost-effectiveness has been more than sufficient. Going forward, including the use of AI, we'd like to continue creating further value together with NiCE.”

05 Future

Toward a next-generation contact center powered by AI

Rococo is now also exploring new service offerings that leverage generative AI and AI agents.

The company has strong interest in using AI to advance its operations — such as automatic summarization of interactions, voice analysis, and quality evaluation — and is working toward a next-generation contact center where humans and AI collaborate to serve customers.
