BY 2008, DATAMONITOR PREDICTS that the number of contact centres in EMEA will reach 45,000 and 15% of these will be multi-channel, using web chat, email and messaging in addition to audio and video services.

AS GROWTH ACCELERATES, contact centres are seeking new ways to use technology to improve their business processes, enhance the customer experience and increase sales and productivity. Legislation, good practice and the need for customer interaction analytics are all pointing towards strong growth in companies who need to record, manage and replay all media streams through which they communicate with customers. With this information in hand, contact centres can form a complete picture of their agents' efficiency and effectiveness, improving quality and their employees' skills.
