SANTA CLARA, California, Dec. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The addition of new channels, replacement of aging infrastructure, and integration of new functionality in the cloud with existing premise systems increased the revenues of the cloud contact center market by 12.5% in 2018. Contact center analytics, quality monitoring, and recording were particularly strong growth drivers as companies sought to make the most of their existing investments. The cloud contact center market will reach $5.02 billion by 2023. The higher adoption of hybrid solutions, meanwhile, will help the market maintain growth momentum at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.3% during the forecast period of 2018-2024. The contact center systems market will also grow 2.9% in the same time period to $1.7 billion.

"Pure-play cloud providers continue to expand offerings at a rapid pace, while traditional contact center systems suppliers have been adding cloud offerings," noted Jamison. "Companies are looking to differentiate themselves through artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced self-service applications, workforce engagement management, and enriched analytics offerings."
In addition to offering enriched self-service options for customers and contact center employees, vendors will find greater growth opportunities by:
- Focusing on process transformation and top-down cross-organizational support that drive business benefits.
- Refining an architecture that fills gaps in omnichannel CX by chaining pods of metadata.
- Embedding gamification across agent toolsets to provide training and insights into performance.
- Deploying new agent desktops with intuitive, step-saving interfaces and greater access to information.
- Incorporating AI in non-customer-facing apps, including workforce management (WFM), routing, and outbound dialing.
- Designing hosted solutions to provide the same functionality as on-premises applications.
