Frost Radar™: European Customer Experience Outsourcing Services, 2020

The global customer experience (CX) outsourcing services market is challenged by commoditization. Consequently, outsourcers are deploying advanced technology-enabled solutions and working with partners from across the ecosystem to differentiate in the fragmented marketplace. Over the years, the focus has shifted from cost and labor arbitrage to customer and agent experience enhancement. Technology has a significant role in helping companies meet evolving customer demand as change is primarily driven by customers who prefer digital solutions. In Europe, the CX outsourcing services market has some unique requirements in terms of language and demand for nearshore / onshore capabilities. The market has witnessed a shift with innovations across technology and business models. Greater reliance on partnerships and the ecosystem are also imperative to growth. Working closely with partners and clients, many of whom are long-term associates, helps outsourcers to initiate innovation in a multi-vendor environment and retain relevance.
