Cloud Services and Home-sourcing Minimize Exposure to COVID-19
Cloud contact center solutions have gained prominence during the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. With the help of cloud, service providers are able to achieve more flexibility in managing customer operations using a remote workforce. On the other hand, the trend of home-sourcing is gaining traction in countries of Asia Pacific. As such, Asia Pacific is projected to grow at an exponential rate in the contact center solution market during the assessment period.
The trend of home-sourcing is benefitting contact center agents amidst the current COVID-19 situation. These agents are being equipped with laptops and access to the corporate network via a VPN (Virtual Private Network) from their home Wi-Fi. This has drastically reduced the need for agents to report to their respective offices, whilst minimizing the exposure toward the novel infection. These factors are expected to drive the contact center solution market during the forecast period.
