Research Overview
This Frost & Sullivan research examines the Latin America Contact Center Solutions Markets. The research also discusses the prevailing market challenges and gives strategic recommendations to overcome them.
IP Migration and Technology Developments Widens Opportunities
With the trend toward IP and the proliferation of software-based solutions, basic call recording and computer telephone integration (CTI) features are likely to be sold as part of standard positions. Nevertheless, the flexibility that a soft environment provides in terms of enabling remote access, and the ability of open architectures to integrate with different solutions, are strongly increasing demand for contact center solutions.
Need For Security and Quality in Customer Services Will Increase Adoption of CTI and Call Recording Solutions
CTI solutions are becoming more standardized and tend to be sold combined with each position, pressuring prices downward. However, penetration over total positions is increasing, and the add-on cost will endorse revenues expected from this solution over the forecasting period. Call recording solutions are slowly increasing penetration and constantly face the high prices as a strong restraint, yet is becoming more adopted, driven by increased competition and the need to increase level of security in transactions.
Companies are clearly looking for solutions that improves customer satisfaction and can be integrated to any type of platform and other types of solutions. In this sense, CTI is the best option for contact center clients and not just the basic features are becoming is standard, but more complex solutions are being also demanded. Meanwhile, tools that can enable more secure calls and transactions, such as call and screen recording, are also being considered as part of the perception of the quality of the customer service.
