THE
FUTURE OF CONTACT CENTERS
Already a
multi-billion dollar trove, the market for contact centers is poised
for a quantum leap forward into a new generation of products and
solutions. It has already
extended well beyond the inherent confines of traditional functions,
splintering off into highly lucrative growth areas such as analytics
and CRM. But the core model is evolving as well, and with the right
vision, and forward-looking strategies, vendors of contact center
solutions stand to realize enormous gains.
Long gone are the
days of a handful of players. Today’s
market is a complex and highly fragmented maze of competitors sporting
targeted solutions. Soon,
very soon, the complexion of this already hotly contested industry
will be dramatically different. You can see that change already
reflected in the shifting roster of vendors.
Amdocs has acquired Clarify. Fujitsu is exiting altogether.
The number of players chasing the software pie increases almost
daily. New issues are
churning forth. New
opportunities as well, as evidenced by the ever-growing revenue pool
being realized despite the slumping economy.
We are on the verge of a new era of profitability for many
concerns. But there are
risks, and they are not insignificant. Nothing is for certain, especially in this sensitive
industry. Just as surely
as some companies will benefit from looming changes, others will
falter. Some will fail
altogether.
In 1987, The
PELORUS Group redefined the metrics by which call center research was
measured with its landmark study, “The Future Of ACDs”.
For close to 15 years, The PELORUS group’s name has been
synonymous with excellence in contact center research.
