DMG Consulting predicts performance management market growth of 27.5% in 2007 and 25% in 2008.
WEST ORANGE, NJ—January 10, 2007—DMG Consulting LLC, the leading provider of contact center and real-time analytics market research and consulting services, has published its inaugural Contact Center Performance Management Market Report. This 230-page Report is the most comprehensive guide to the emerging and rapidly growing contact center performance management (CCPM) market. Performance management applications have captured the attention of contact center, IT and finance managers because of their tremendous value and rapid ROI.
“2006 was the first year of significant adoption of contact center performance management applications and 2007 is expected to be even better. Corporate decision makers are recognizing that these applications offer rapid and quantifiable benefits and ROI that extend far beyond the contact center – to enterprise senior management, sales and marketing organizations, operations and customers,” said Donna Fluss, President of DMG Consulting. “The Report is written from an end-user perspective and gives contact center and IT managers the most current, detailed and objective analysis of vendors, products, implementation best practices, services and trends in this market.”
The Report includes a performance management customer satisfaction analysis that reflects impressively high ratings for these emerging products and vendors. Despite this high degree of satisfaction, market adoption is low because the purpose, value proposition and benefits of CCPM remain unclear. This is expected to change in 2007, as market leaders increase investments in marketing.
DMG Consulting estimates that the number of contact center performance management implementations has increased by 434% since December 2004, with a compounded annual growth rate of 131%. The current penetration rate for performance management applications in contact centers is 1.03% in North America and even lower abroad, with the exception of the UK. Contact center performance management will play an increasingly essential role in contact centers as they continue to migrate to analytically-oriented operating groups.
The Report is a must-read for contact center and IT managers looking to automate and simplify the contact center reporting challenge and free their staff to spend more time helping customers. It explains how performance management empowers companies to align contact center and enterprise goals. It describes how performance management provides an objective fact-based approach for analyzing the performance of the contact center and improving its ability to deliver to departmental and corporate goals.
