Description

This study aims to analyse and forecast the Asia-Pacific (APAC) Hosted / Cloud contact centre market outlook for 2014-2022.
Research Overview:
Today, companies globally are challenged by the rapidly shifting market forces including the fast rate of innovation, change in technology landscape, increasing consumerization and changing economic scenarios. Businesses are increasingly launching new and disruptive services in the market to differentiate themselves from the rest. On the other hand, end customers are becoming more demanding and expect high level of support from and sophisticated interactions with companies for convenient and faster services.
To balance such objectives, businesses are exploring options that offer immediate access to latest technology yet also allow for financial flexibility as well as the scalability needed for their operation. The pay-as-you-go model simplifies cost management and enables companies to move to a more favourable opex payment model. Such background has helped boost demand for hosted and cloud services, globally.
The market for hosted and cloud contact centers in the APAC continues to grow at a faster pace than on-premise. Hosted / cloud contact center solutions extend business flexibility by delivering contact center capabilities on a per-agent, per-month pricing model, based on the peak capacity in a 30-day period.
Such a cost model allows contact centers in the APAC to better adapt to economic fluctuations and remain competitive. Businesses of all sizes were actively exploring the option of partially migrating their contact centre systems to the hosted / cloud platform. The awareness of and acceptance level for such services have largely improved in recent years, though perception on system security and reliability poses as key restraints.
