No sign of a slowdown in the CBCCI/CCaaS sector
Adoption of CBCCI/CCaaS solutions is strong, and the momentum will continue to build as these offerings are highly effective, innovative, and differentiated. There are 200-300 CBCCI/CCaaS competitors, from the largest big tech companies to very small vendors with as few as 25 employees. New entrants continue to come to market, as this is one of the hottest IT sectors.
2022 has been another outstanding year for the cloud-based contact center infrastructure (CBCCI)/contact center as a service (CCaaS) market and 2023 is looking to be as strong, despite the economic downturn. The future of contact center technology is in the cloud as this is where the vendors are investing their research and development (R&D) dollars.
Innovative CBCCI/CCaaS vendors have been investing in artificial intelligence (AI), automation, analytics, and improving the usability of their user interfaces during the past year. AI is being applied to enhance many aspects of CBCCI/CCaaS solutions, improving system routing, self-service, workforce optimization/workforce engagement management (WFO/WEM), reporting, and analytics. The improved agent desktops are making it easier for agents to navigate the solutions while also providing centralized access to all the information needed to provide a fully orchestrated and optimal omnichannel experience. Enhanced mobility capabilities are another important feature; contact center supervisors have tools to monitor and coach their agents from wherever they are, and wherever their agents are located. The innovations are helping companies enhance the customer experience (CX), and employee experience (EX) and engagement while improving operational productivity, enabling contact centers to achieve their corporate, servicing, and sales goals.
Another positive move for the CBCCI/CCaaS market is that the vendors continue to expand their partnerships, enhance their integration frameworks, and build out-of-the-box integrations with a wide variety of third-party solutions. Enterprises are finally getting what they need - a flexible and easy-to-integrate communication platform to facilitate omnichannel interactions with customers.
