Market size and buyer adoption – summary

CCO global market size and growth


 The global CCO market grew at ~4% in 2015 to reach US$75-78 billion, with the overall global contact center spend standing at
US$300-350 billion
 Year 2015 witnessed larger buyers shifting their focus towards consolidating their portfolio and having fewer service providers for their
outsourcing needs. This was also indicated by buyers moving towards sole-source contracts instead of competitive bids
 Market witnessed growth in signings of multi-region contracts, as buyers aim to deliver consistent experience to their end-customers
across regions
 Buyer expectations from service providers continued to shift from labor arbitrage to enhanced capabilities along with flexibility and agility.
Also, they expect service providers to improve on value-driven KPIs such as increased role of analytics, proactiveness, and innovation
 The deal size for both new contracts and renewals witnessed a decline in 2015 due to buyers’ inclination to start with smaller scope that
grows over time, as well as inclusion of automation bringing down the cost of servicing. Also, with higher leverage of low-cost non-voice
channels, overall spending has decreased

Buyer adoption trends


 BFSI and telecom continue to be leading adopters of CCO services with about 50% of the market share. Retail and travel & hospitality
verticals have witnessed double-digit growth, while healthcare vertical has plateaued after witnessing steep growth over the past few
years
 While the mature markets of North America, Western Europe, and United Kingdom continue to grow at market rates, faster growth came
from Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Latin America. Countries such as China and India are driving business from “new economy” buyers,
who are leveraging customer service to win new customers as well as retain existing ones
 English continues to hold its dominant position as being the most preferred language for CCO delivery. Growth in Middle East as well as
countries in Asia Pacific has resulted in demand for CCO delivery in local languages from these regions, spurring growth in demand for
languages such as Chinese, Korean, Arabic, and other dialects from Middle East and Africa
 Large and very large buyers account for over 70% of the CCO revenue. However, market growth is driven by medium and large buyers
who have adopted aggressive expansion strategies across new geographies, as well as scaling up of their existing operations

Key reasons for declining market growth rate in 2014-2015:


 Increasing share of non-voice channels that entail lower cost per contact than voice channels
 Growing portfolio consolidation by buyers, which leads to a couple of years of relatively moderate growth rates
 With the advent of automation, service providers are moving away from traditional FTE-based business to stay relevant in the
market. This move entails a brief spell of low growth, which is expected to persist until providers reach maturity with the new
technology. Post this phase, growth is again expected to pick up in a few years

Outsourcing 22% 25%  Outsourcing providers are gaining share globally in the
contact center market, driven by delivering greater value
than in-house centers:
– Third-party service providers bring best-of-breed

effectiveness; many in-house centers may not have
access to such technologies and may also lack
experience using them
In-house 78% 75% – Most in-house centers lag CCO providers in managing
non-voice channels and value-added services
– Fast expansion of CCO in emerging buyer geographies
with low market penetration enables buyers to adopt
more advanced approaches quickly
– Service providers also typically have a broader
knowledge base for innovation than in-house centers,

 As buyers increasingly look at testing the waters with providers for new contracts, they start with a smaller scope that grows
over time. This has resulted in the size of new contracts going down over the last few years
 The size of renewals/extensions now stands at almost three times the size of new contracts, mainly due to the following
factors:
– As emphasis on digital services has expanded, scope of existing engagement during renewals has gone up with addition of
value-added services and non-voice channels
– Existing buyers are rationalizing the number of service providers in their portfolio, leading to larger contract size during
renewals and extensions
 TCV of renewals/extensions has also seen a decline in the past 18-24 months, as buyers put more emphasis on automation
and RPA, which impacts the FTE headcount required within the scope of the contract, thus reducing costs for the buyers.
Also, with advancement of technology that allows multi-channel solutions, more customer queries are now being transferred
to lower-cost channels such as chat

Value proposition and solution characteristics – summary
(page 1 of 2)

Value proposition
 In the digital age, changing customer preferences have resulted in focus beyond process excellence by
building digital capabilities and enhancing business outcomes
 There are six CCO solution characteristics that are driving this digital transformation – delivery model,
channel mix, value-added services, technology, automation and pricing model – as discussed below

Delivery model
 The delivery model has changed with more contracts having significant onshore delivery in response to the
growing demand of buyers to focus on customer experience and their expectation to have agents closer to
home
 The increased demand for onshore presence can also potentially increase the total cost of ownership for
buyers. They increasingly look for solutions such as WAHA, multi-channel adoption, and automation that
would reduce costs while ensuring high quality of customer service
 With technology advancements ensuring enhanced security and ease of implementation, buyers now
consider including WAHA delivery model in their CCO strategy

Channel mix
 While the share of voice channel has reduced over time, newer channels such as social media and chat
have witnessed high growth and now account for over 10% of the overall CCO revenue
 Multi-channel contracts accounted for nearly one-fourth of the total CCO contracts in which clearly
indicates the changing consumer preference to connect through multiple channels.
 Not surprisingly, inclusion of non-voice channels, especially chat, has grown rapidly within multi-channel
contracts in the past two years

Value proposition and solution characteristics – summary
(page 2 of 2)

Technology
 Enabler technology investments continue to increase with the share rising to three-fourths of technology
investments
 Among enabler technologies, investments in automation, analytics and multi-channel solutions have
increased significantly in the past two years

Automation
 Increased adoption of advanced automation technologies has led to lower cost of ownership, reduction of
average resolution time, and increased customer delight for buyers
 The forward-looking automation solutions such as cognitive technology have maximum impact in customer
experience

Value-added services
 Inclusion of value-added services continues to grow steadily with more than 60% of contracts signed in
2014-15 having at least one of the value-added services within scope
 Compared to new contracts, renewals/extensions saw a much higher inclusion of value-added services
(44% vs. 70% for renewals)

Pricing model
 With the evolution of digital customer care, outcome-based pricing has become more relevant for buyers
and service providers
 Contracts with outcome-based pricing have more than doubled among new contracts, which indicates that
buyers increasingly adopt sophisticated KPIs to align pricing with service quality

Automation has led to reduction of repetitive tasks and empowers
agents to focus on solving complex customer problems

2 Automated text analysis and reply scripts First-level queries would be resolved much
faster reducing average resolution time
The text in e-mail and chat channels could be analyzed at the back-
end and automated reply scripts sent to customers

3 Proactive resolution of customer problems Results in customer delight, which


strengthens brand loyalty
Automation systems could also predict customers’ problems and
proactively solve them even before the customers realize them

which would ensure information security
Processes which involve obtaining confidential customer information
could be automated without manual agent intervention

Service provider landscape – summary

 The service provider landscape for CCO includes CCO specialists, BPO pure-plays, and integrated
IT+BPO players

 The market is dominated by CCO specialists, with nine specialists having revenue in excess of US$1
billion. Teleperformance, Convergys, and Atento are the top three service providers in the CCO space.
Xerox and Capita were the only non-CCO specialists with over US$1 billion in revenue

 The leading service providers in terms of market share differ significantly across geographies. Except for
Teleperformance, no other service provider is a top player across all the major geographies

 The mix of leading providers also changes across the key industry segments with variations across
telecom, BFSI, technology, healthcare, retail, and travel & hospitality. Teleperformance again featured
among the top players across all these industries

 Technology is the leading investment theme in CCO, followed by scale. Enabler technologies accounted
for about half of the reported investments in 2014-2015. Analytics, automation, and multi-channel tools
were the major areas of investments within enabler technologies

 Consolidation within CCO continued into 2015 as well, with some of the big scale acquisitions and mergers
including that of West Corp’s CCO arm by Alorica and multiple acquisitions of smaller companies within
Europe by both Webhelp and Capita

 New economy companies are expected to drive growth in the mid- and large-buyer
segments, while they will also have an impact on traditional CCO buyers and how
they do their business

Increased cost of  Tincreased demand for onshoring would further increase the total cost of ownership

Multi-channel solutions  Multi-channel solutions, especially inclusion of chat and social media, would
to be dominant across continue to increase with more customers preferring to connect with brands through

Automation to replace  Increased adoption of automation would have an impact on the relevance of
transactional work done offshore delivery, as processes could be executed onshore at much lower cost than
from offshore locations in offshore locations. Buyers and service providers must, therefore, consider the
role of automation and its impact on shoring mix

seamless experience

Glossary of key terms used in this report (page 1 of 2)

Term Definition
ACV Annualized Contract Value is calculated by dividing the Total Contract Value (TCV) by the term of the
contract
ARC/RRC Additional/Reduced Resource Charges are used to adjust the “base fee” charged by service providers to
account for an increase/decrease in the volume of services relative to the agreed baseline. Typically, the
baseline is a range of volumes, resulting in a “dead band”
BPO Business Process Outsourcing refers to the purchase of one or more processes or functions from a
company in the business of providing such services at large, or as a third-party provider
Buyer The company/entity that purchases outsourcing services from a service provider
Contract term The duration of the outsourcing contract. It drives the schedule over which the buyer or service provider
amortizes capitalized costs, or the period over which Net Present Value (NPV) / Internal Rate of Return
(IRR) is calculated
Dead band Dead bands are specified ranges of volumes (e.g., ±10% of current volumes) for which the price is
constant. The price may be either a fixed price (e.g., US$0.5 million) or a per-unit price (e.g., US$1.00 per
invoice). Outside of the specified range of volumes, the price changes in a defined manner, which is
negotiated. From a buyer’s perspective, dead bands are used to create predictability of charges; from a
service provider’s perspective they are used to reduce the administrative effort required to invoice a buyer.
The design of dead bands reflects the variability of a service provider’s cost structure and its risk tolerance
FAO Finance and Accounting Outsourcing is the transfer of ownership of some or all finance and accounting
processes or functions to a service provider. This could include administrative, delivery, or management-
related processes or functions
