“7 Reasons Companies Choose Call Center Outsourcing,” notes that, while companies once switched to outsourcing call center operations to cut costs, organizations in the modern era are more concerned with how their service represents their business and impacts the company as a whole. It’s no longer being seen as something that needs to be addressed as an aside, but an opportunity to interact with customers on a different channel and cultivate life-long relationships.
“Cost is still a factor in the final decision for most companies, but what we’re seeing now is greater focus on having the right systems and teams in place,” says DATAMARK Vice President of Client Solutions Nina Brown. “Organizations want well-educated, highly trained representatives and scalable services. They’re looking for ways to remove the cultural and language barriers to enhance experiences as well.”

She notes that continuity planning is a large concern now too. Enterprise-level organizations can’t afford to go offline when there’s a pandemic, natural disaster, or other unexpected event. Experienced call center companies know what to look for in terms of shoring up services and building continuity into overall plans, so service is uninterrupted even when unforeseeable events occur.
“There’s a lot more focus on what the individual organization needs,” Brown adds. “When companies realize they can tailor the fit of their call center operations and easily address what matters most to them through outsourcing, whether that’s something like continuity, providing better service, reducing costs, and that total transparency is possible, the decision is simple. It’s just a matter of working with the right partner and refining the details.”
She says DATAMARK has been developing top-performing outsourced call centers that manage customer care, loyalty programs, billing, help desk, warranty services, and more for decades.
