The main objective of this research service was to investigate the current use and future adaptation of agent performance optimization (APO) solutions in European contact centers. Quality monitoring and workforce and performance management systems are the most widely deployed and used APO applications in Europe. Furthermore, large contact centers have deployed more APO applications than small and medium centers, with particularly high gaps in advanced analytical tools and newer applications. The primary uses of APO applications have diversified from quality, training, and performance management purposes to achieving deeper customer insights, identifying process improvements, and improving the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.
