Strong growth in IPCC market

The findings reported in the recent Infonetics study on IP Contact Centers are significant. The global IPCC market will finish 2008 up 37% over 2007 according to the report as quoted on TMCnet:

This can be taken in a number of ways but I suggest it indicates a move to retain customers through stronger customer service initiatives, perhaps as a replacement to other, costlier revenue preservation or growth tactics.

To me this makes sense. I have yet to read a research study that indicates customer service perceptions to be anywhere near a high point so there is a known gap to be closed.

The real issue will be in execution. I hope companies investing in this technology are doing it based on a broader strategy to align customer friendly processes with enabling technology and people suited to care for customers. If so, look for a lot of action in the quality assurance and training markets in 2009 as those strategies go from initial deployment to implementation and optimization.
