Session Description: Most telecommunications companies have experience hiring vendors who operate a call center for them. Today, the question is becoming how to find and partner with a vendor who can provide work-at-home call center employees. Sprint has embraced the challenge of partnering with vendors on the work-at-home concept. We have worked through challenges from a workforce, training and technology standpoint.

*: Technology: what is important and how do you plan for compatibility?

*: Development: what kinds of training decisions need to be made?

*: Delivery: who delivers and how, and how does the reporting work?
