The CXM space is witnessing rapid shift to digitally driven CX, fueled by changing buyer demands. These changes are driving service providers to invest in digital capabilities across the board, instead of focusing on selective capabilities. Service providers need to invest in the full spectrum of capabilities that span different digital solutions, such as analytics, automation / Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and omnichannel, to be able to drive transformations for their clients. They are also offering innovation beyond technology by building capabilities around consulting, design-thinking, talent upskilling, and new-age delivery models such as Work-At-Home-Agents (WAHA). However, digital-first contact center, while growing, continues to be a fraction of the traditional contact center outsourcing market that is still driven by scale and the ability of service providers to manage client business across different geographies. Given these factors, service providers continue to invest in a host of capabilities, either through internal investments, or partnerships & acquisitions as they look to close the capability gap with their peers and create differentiation for themselves in the market.
