Background:

DMG Consulting LLC, a leading provider of telephony, contact center, real-time analytics and back-office market research and consulting services, today released its 2011 – 2012 Quality Management/Liability Recording (Workforce Optimization) Product and Market Report. Designed to help end users make the right technology and vendor selection for their contact center, this Report reviews both leaders and contenders, providing a complete overview of the offerings available in the market.

The contact center quality management (QM)/liability recording (also known as workforce optimization – WFO) market has remained strong and has grown through decades of change, defying the recession and delivering significant innovation. Vendors are investing to refresh and differentiate their solutions, even in areas like QM and recording, which are perceived to be commodities. The Report explores several trends that are converging and making a major impact on the WFO market, including:

New analytics capabilities with quantifiable benefits

The rise of social media as a customer service channel

The availability of cloud-based WFO solutions for companies of all sizes

Large contact center infrastructure vendors increasingly vying for a piece of the WFO pie

Growing adoption of WFO in back office operating groups

“In today’s WFO market, users have a vast range of technology choices – there is a proper fit for every company, no matter the industry, the size of the organization, the business goals, or the delivery model they seek,” said Donna Fluss, president of DMG Consulting. “Users must invest the time to do the necessary research to understand the competitive landscape and carefully evaluate the offerings and options, in order to capitalize on the power they have to negotiate the best terms and pricing.”
