DUBLIN, October 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

The "2017 Workforce Optimization Mid-Year Market Share Report" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

A Market in Transition

This global report analyzes the performance and activity of the WFO competitors and market during the first half of 2017, and compares that performance to the same period in 2016. This Report complements the annual Workforce Optimization Market Share Report, which provides a full-year analysis of the WFO market and its competitors.

Total company GAAP revenue for the vendors that offer a contact center WFO suite dropped by 5.2% to $1,583.4 million from $1,669.7 million, a decrease of $86.3 million between the first half of 2016 and 2017. This decrease follows a similar pattern in the 12 months between the first half of 2016 and 2015, where total company GAAP revenue for contact center WFO suite providers decreased by $5.9 million. The number of WFO vendors is shrinking, a trend that is expected to continue for the next few years. At the market's peak, there were 45 WFO suite vendors, most of whom were highly profitable. Currently there are 39 vendors, of whom only 6 appear to be earning more than $10 million per year.

The WFO market is undergoing the most significant transformation in its remarkable history. Now more than ever, enterprises need WFO functionality like recording and analytics. The question is from whom the solutions are going to be purchased. Enterprises are changing their buying patterns. They want a WFO environment that enables them to acquire whatever solutions they need from any source. The future of contact center solutions is in the cloud, and WFO vendors who want to succeed in the future are going to have to make some tough decisions.
