ISG Recognizes Sitel Group as Leader in Global Contact Center and Customer Experience Services

Sitel Group, a leading global customer experience management company announced it was recognized by Information Services Group (ISG) as a leader in three quadrants in ISG’s Global Contact Center / Customer Experience Services Archetype Report.

Sitel Group’s key differentiators and reasons for being named a leader included the global company’s strengths such as robust investment plans to amplify cognitive capabilities; an understanding of the social client, diverse customer experience (CX) and digital capabilities; and an emphasis on innovation.

ISG’s report measured the capabilities of contact centre service providers and their abilities to address the requirements of four typical, frequently encountered categories (archetypes) of enterprise buyers. The archetypes included:

  • Customer Service Buyers – Traditional mindset buyers who focus on managed solutions and do not consider contact centres a part of their core operations.
  • Peak Season Buyers – Buyers who seek providers that offer cost-effective services through an established work-at-home model.
  • Automation Seeks – These buyers seek to embark on their digital journeys to cope with the changing preferences of technology-advanced millennials by offering 24×7 connectivity across all touchpoints.
  • Digital Experts – Buyers who focus on domain-specific consulting strategies that involved design thinking and want to engage with providers that can help them in their transformational journey as a partner.

“We are honored to be recognized by ISG as a leader in the contact centre and customer experience services space,” said Laurent Uberti, President, CEO and founding partner at Sitel Group. “One of our top priorities at Sitel Group is to improve customer experience through innovation. To be recognized in multiple archetypes for doing just that is rewarding for the company as a whole and furthers our commitment to digital innovation and transformation.”

The ISG report assessed 17 services providers for this report. ISG researchers found that speech analytics and conversational AI have created major disruption in the contact centre space and are helping to provide a better overview of customer data. Additionally, enabling customer self-service and moving toward non-voice business models such as intelligent bots were major trends in this year’s report.
