Contact Center-as-a-Service (CCaaS) will challenge
traditional CCO value levers, requiring CCO providers
to rethink their differentiators
Source: Everest Group (2015)
Key benefits
of CCaaS
Cost effective and lower capital expenses
Rapid deployment and easy integration
Scalable solutions
Personalized and localized customer services
Cloud-hosted contact center solution Implications for CCO industry
Tech strategy must evolve
Need clear BPO value prop
Sustaining price points
Core technology now available at
lower costs. CCO providers must
hone in on tech capabilities that
create new value
Clients may migrate towards a
technology-driven solution if they
do not see a clear value
proposition from CC BPO model
CCaaS will put further pressure
on margins. CCO providers must
evolve their offerings to target not
only savings but business
outcomes as well

Issues to consider for the Philippines contact
center industry
Talent development
Balance need for generic skills (e.g., communication) versus specialized skills (e.g., care
management, social media) to meet demand from existing and emerging segments
Invest in career-pathing, alternate talent, and retention to increase talent availability
Moving up the value-chain
Articulate "moving up the value-chain" in context of Philippines and reorient value positioning
for new offerings (e.g., multi-channel, analytics)
Balance objectives of growth driven by scale and higher value
Ecosystem development
Accelerate development of tier-2 locations; closely monitor potential saturation challenges in
tier-2 locations
Sustain industry initiatives to control costs and substantiate value beyond arbitrage
