According to a study by Salesforce.com, Inc., around 84% of customers consider the experience provided by a particular company equally important as its products and services. Businesses have also realized that improved customer service can aid in augmenting profitability. Hence, businesses are aggressively adopting contact center solutions as part of their efforts to improve customer service, thereby contributing to market growth. Businesses have realized the potential of cloud-based computing and management tools. Hence, several businesses across the globe are focusing on switching to cloud-based contact centers.
Contact center managers and administrators are adopting cloud technology for various reasons, such as improved security and efficiency. Apart from cloud computing, businesses are also adopting other omnichannel solutions, including video chat assistance and chatbots, based on the latest technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve customer experience. Several organizations have already started automating multiple business functions leveraging AI. Prescriptive AI, the next generation of this technology, offers a wide variety of new capabilities, ranging from more optimized case routing to efficient inquiry resolution and scheduling management.
Prescriptive AI is also expected to add a new dimension to the ways businesses can anticipate the evolving needs of customers, and help in extending customer interactions from discovery and onboarding to post-purchase support. Prescriptive AI can also be used for internal purposes, such as restocking based on demand and optimization of field resources. However, Interactive Voice Response (IVR) fraud or fraudulent activities occurring within the IVR systems may restrain the market growth over the forecast period.
Contact centers are increasingly being exposed to the risk of fraud attacks and the subsequent losses as they continue to adopt IVR systems, webchats, and self-service channels as part of the efforts to address the growing volumes of calls being received by the agents. Contact centers are constantly at the risk of cyberattacks as they store large volumes of critical customer data. Thus, the growing instances of cyberattacks on contact center business operations are also expected to hinder the growth of the market.
