Key Findings & Highlights:
The global CMS market is highly fragmented, with the top ten vendors representing less than a third of the market, and has low barriers to entry. Its current high level of M&A activity will continue, with vendors acquiring delivery capacity and new technical and service capabilities.
Main adoption drivers for clients include customer experience improvement, cost take-out, revenue generation, and expanding capability in multi-shore, multi-channel, multilingual delivery. Provided services cover the full customer lifecycle, separated into service lines, and are delivered over multiple channels, with voice representing the largest share. In CMS, vendors’ provide analytics to monitor performance and usage patterns and implement automation, primarily in back-office processes.
Nearshore and offshore delivery and process optimizations are the principal mechanisms for reducing costs and achieving cost take-out targets, with per FTE, per time and per transaction pricing models dominating the contract structures.
Deep transformation of customer experience including channel optimization, and delivering immediate improvements in customer experience while maintaining low delivery cost, are becoming the leading drivers and success criteria. The application of analytics and automation are the focus of vendors’ investments, and are underpinning their CMS offerings.
