Report Abstract

Abstract: 2009 Contact Center and Enterprise Performance Management Market Report

Discover why adoption of contact center performance management is quietly growing, despite the economic recession. The 2009Contact Center and Enterprise Performance Management Market Report is the most complete guide to contact center and enterprise performance management available in the marketplace. It encompasses vendors, products, technology, market trends, opportunities, challenges, competitive landscape, best practices, market share, projections, adoption rate, benefits, return on investment, pricing and customer references. This Report gives prospects considering new systems or upgrades everything they need to select the right product and vendor and succeed with an implementation.

Market growth is being driven by vendor responsivness to customer needs. Contact center and enterprise decision-makers are demanding solutions that deliver actionable recommendations, can be implemented in 1 to 3 months, and have a ROI of less than 3 months. The vendors have responded by breaking their products into manageable modules or packaged offerings, or by embedding targeted performance management capabilities into broader application suites. The result is a new generation of contact center and enterprise performance management solutions that enable users to rapidly identify and address a specific business challenge, such as increasing first call resolution, improving contact center efficiency, increasing sales, or enhancing customer loyalty.

Report Highlights

  • The number of CCPM seats grew by 53% in 2008, despite the economic recession. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) for CCPM between 2005 and 2008 was 154.4%.
  • DMG Consulting forecasts that the number of CCPM and Enterprise Performance Management seats will grow by 15% annually in each of the next three years, 2009 – 2011.
