3 Executive Summary Business process outsourcing (BPO) has played a critical role in supporting organisations through the economic downturn and a maturity has now emerged in many partner relationships. In addition, CCA has seen an increase in enquiries in the capacity and competency about BPO providers in the last 6 months and we are looking to support any strategic business decisions for organisations to best source their customer service offering. It is estimated that around 15-20% of customer service activity is currently outsourced however this figure has remained relatively static for a number of years now. That poses the question, if it works for some why doesn t it work for more? With increasing customer expectations around mobile and digital service, an opportunity exists for the BPO and outsourcing market to showcase capabilities and expertise. For this research, conducted in association with Silver Partners Agilisys, we surveyed both BPO operators and in-house providers on their views on some critical issues related to the outsourcing agenda. Key findings The majority of organisations expected their proportion of outsourcing to stay the same or increase (90%). The motivations for outsourcing were largely seen to be cost related. 81% of respondents considering outsourcing as offering the potential to lower costs of service delivery as a key benefit from working with an outsourcing partner. Other key benefits related to flexibility (76%), access to the latest technology (76%) and the ability to access skilled workers (62%). In terms of the key capabilities state of the art outsourcing providers should offer, respondents reported that building their own staff s capability and knowledge to solve customer problems at front-line was essential (86%). Providing quality management with closed loop feedback and continuous process improvement was also considered essential (81%). Offering the latest technological capability was clearly very important in the decision of appointing an outsourcing partner and this was reported to be very important or quite important by 90% of respondents. Finally, when respondents were asked how important it was for their chosen partner to have shared values with their own organisation, the most important factor was employee engagement (90%). When asked what the most challenging areas during the outsourcing process were, respondents reported that the pressure to base the outputs on cost reduction rather than improvements to customer experience as a key issue (noted by 76%). Closely following this, respondents reported that culture was a major issue with 71% of those surveyed reporting that matching the culture needs of their business with the culture of their partner was a key challenge. 3

4 The most common issues facing customer experience reported by respondents were the recruitment of skilled workers (80%) and the integration of channels to provide omnichannel/digital experience (80%) From the end customer s perspective, the factors that respondents thought they find most frustrating when contacting an organisation included, their enquiry not being dealt with first time round (100%) and being given inconsistent information across different channels (eg , phone, website) (100%) Ordering of the report The following chapter gives further details of the research approach of this study. Next, the respondents views of their biggest customer service challenges are explored to help identify some of the central issues. After this the views of both contact centre professionals providing views in-house or already in a partnership with an outsourcer are outlined, highlighting both the advantages and challenges of outsourcing and their future plans. Next, the responses provided by BPO providers and outsourcers regarding their core capabilities and current trends are examined. Following this, the views of customer experience issues and frustrations are set out before the final section draws together some key conclusions and makes several recommendations based on the findings. 4

5 The Research Outline of Research Business process outsourcing (BPO) has played a critical role in supporting organisations through the economic downturn and a maturity has now emerged in many partner relationships. In addition, CCA has seen an increase in enquiries in the capacity and competency about BPO providers in the last 6 months and we are looking to support any strategic business decisions for organisations to best source their customer service offering. It is estimated that around 15-20% of customer service activity is currently outsourced however this figure has remained relatively static for a number of years now. That poses the question, if it works for some why doesn t it work for more? With increasing customer expectations around mobile and digital service, an opportunity exists for the BPO and outsourcing market to showcase capabilities and expertise. For this research, conducted in association with Silver Partners Agilisys, we surveyed both BPO operators and in-house providers on their views on some critical issues related to the outsourcing agenda. Methods The research comprised several phases: Member Survey: CCA conducted a survey of member organisations to determine current. Responses were received from 71 organisations. They included BPO operators and in-house contact centres, responsible for different-sized operations in a wide range of sectors. The survey findings were analysed and interpreted in a desk research phase alongside contextual information from other sources including CCA s research archive. Confidence in results The results included responses from BPO operators (28%) and in-house contact centres from a wide variety of industrial sectors including financial services (20%), central government (10%) 5

10 The view from commissioners: working with an outsourcing partner This section reviews the responses provided by customer contact professionals providing services in-house or already in a partner arrangement with an outsourcer or BPO provider. Outsourcing Arrangements Of those who currently already had a partner arrangement and outsourced some of their activities, the most common activity outsourced was inbound call handling (85%), followed by outbound call handling (65%) and management (60%). See Figure 3 for more information. 85% 65% 60% 50% 45% 45% 35% 20% 10% Figure 3 - If you do work with an outsourcing partner currently, which of these functions do they manage on your behalf? (please select all that apply) (Based on a CCA member survey of 71 Contact Centre Professionals, September 2016) The Advantages of Outsourcing The motivations for outsourcing were largely seen to be cost related with 81% of respondents reporting this as the potential to lower costs of service delivery as the key benefit to be accessed from working with an outsourcing partner. Other key benefits related to flexibility (76%), access to the latest technology (76%) and the ability to access skilled workers (62%). Please see Figure 4 for the full results. 10

Providing quality management with closed loop feedback and continuous process improvement was also considered essential (81%). Two other very important offerings included better understanding of clients customers through the application of analytical and insight tools (64%) and offering new initiatives to improve process and deliver better ROI (59%). See Figure 5 for more details. Offering the latest technological capability was clearly very important in the decision of an outsourcing partner and this was reported to be very important or quite important by 90% of respondents.

30 Conclusions and recommendations This research has shown the diversity of experiences and aspirations of those engaged in BPO and outsourcing more generally. It has demonstrated how outsourcing can offer cost reduction opportunities, flexibility, access to skilled workers and the ability to access current and new technology. This agility is a critical advantage in the contemporary contact centre landscape which in recent years has been shaped by the challenges of the global economic recession and is now to be transformed by further political and economic uncertainty. As noted in the report engaging in such activities is not without challenge, however, and issues such as high agent turnover, concerns over the quality of agents were raised as well as the pressure to base outputs of cost reduction rather than improvements to customer experience, a perennial problem which can result in a race to the bottom. A number of key recommendations can be made: Be clear about objectives and communicate these to all stakeholders during negotiations of terms of outsourcing and throughout Put the best team in place with a diversity of skills and experiences to help drive holistic change Develop useful and comprehensive measures for change which are not solely focused on cost Make sure that new strategies reflect the complexity of the outsourcing arrangement and the ability to realise the benefits Identify and setup benchmarks so that SLAs can be drafted to correspond with the provisions that generate a competitive edge 30
