As Technavio notes:
“Telecom companies benefit from outsourcing their customer services to BPO companies as it enables them to manage cost pressures, optimize investments, and get specialized resources while establishing a flexible strategy to retain existing customers and acquire new customers. Social media companies and Internet service providers are encouraging telecom companies to constantly create new business models and innovative offerings to improve customer experience. Emerging technologies have enhanced the productivity of business processes. For instance, RPA helps telecom companies in managing various tasks, such as managing complicated and unstructured datasets. AI enables the analysis and prioritization of customer queries, which leads to faster resolutions. This technology improves customer services for telecom companies. Increasing adoption of BPO by IT and telecom service providers has been identified as one of the key market growth drivers.”
The summary
This is a big part of the reason we’ve been so bullish on RPA ourselves. It’s all about delivering client success at scale, globally, with cost consideration, and making sure the end-users of the client are taken care of. RPA isn’t perfect and isn’t a silver bullet, but it can help achieve some of those things for our clients — and that’s always our goal.
