BPO Trends in UAE

Revenues from the operational management of external outsourcing and cloud services in the UAE are expected to reach Dh3.58 billion this year, an increase of 12 per cent on the Dh3.2 billion recorded last year, a research report revealed.

The latest statistics by International Data Corporation (IDC) show that revenues are expected to touch Dh4.38 billion in 2020, with a compound annual growth rate of 11.2 per cent.

Furthermore, IDC report points out that spending on local business outsourcing has grown by 11.7 per cent — from Dh1.19 billion in 2016 to Dh1.33 billion in 2017. The number is expected to hit Dh1.48 billion in 2018 and be valued at Dh2 billion by 2021.

The report notes that key customers of the local outsourcing market are from the banking, financial services, transport, communications, media, retail, and support industries.

In terms of competencies, call center services account for the largest share at 65 per cent and are set to dominate the market for years to come. Human resources rank second with 14 per cent, followed by finance, accounting, and employment services that are slated for moderate growth, as companies continue to prefer handling these functions internally.

How Tafaseel is keeping up:

In an increasingly complex connected world, the contact center is set to become the interaction hub of the digital enterprise – responsible for support, interaction, education, and data gathering. But in its new role the contact center will have evolve to deal with more responsibilities and far more complex issues.

Tafaseel is planning to start first on-demand contact center in the region  and continue deploying a wide range of technology – such as automation, analytics, workflow technology, bots, verification and so on to increase efficiency and enhance the experience.

Future of contact centers: 

By 2025, there will be a change in the notion of ‘customer’, resulting from the separation of the entity contacting the contact center for service and the customer themselves. For example, the rise of IoT will see smart objects automatically asking for support and help, with this support being provided by smart bots who will apply known fixes, run diagnostics and search knowledge bases for answers or resolutions. Escalation to human technicians will occur if the smart bot cannot resolve the issue. The human owner of the smart objects may be notified, if appropriate, of any action taken in the channel, they have requested such notification to take place. Thus support will no longer be a human-to-human interaction, or even a human-to-bot interaction; it could involve no humans – other than reporting the resolution to a human owner.
