3. Strategic Advisory Services –
Third Party Contact Center
Background: Contact centers have evolved over the years to become a strategic corporate resource. A
significant percentage of all customer interactions, including sales, customer service and technical support
occur in this dynamic environment. For many organizations, the contact center is actually leveraged to
become a competitive “differentiator.”
 As an Independent consultant the objective is to help clients define and execute strategy,
develop the best solutions and processes possible, and to educate about potential pitfalls. It is,
however, essential to carry out a detailed feasibility study in order to ensure business value, to
mitigate business risks and eliminate business failures.
 The key parameters for a feasibility study are as under:
 Identify the Business objectives for Outsourcing
 Assessment of countries / locations for BPO operations
 Assess the pilot customer
 Assess the Business Potential beyond the target customer
 Financial Assessment – Cost Benefit Analysis

4. Strategic Advisory Services –
Captive / Shared Service Center
 We understand that outsourcing is not for everyone.; therefore a consulting program has been developed
that examines existing in-house call center environments to determine if outsourcing is applicable in any
form.
 Alignment of call center processes with corporate goals, resulting in improved customer retention, staff
optimization, and cost efficiencies. This includes the design, development, and implementation of
organization structure, selection, compensation/reward systems, QA, staff utilization and training.
 Our outsourcing analysis considers many potential options including:
 Full outsourcing
 Selective transactions
 Peak/seasonal traffic
 Outbound campaigns
 Web-based support
 Night/Evening Shifts
 Blended solutions
The next slide represents Lifecycle of Strategic Advisory Services; both – Captive / Shared Services
and Third Party Outsourcing Services.
