Rapid Growth

Managing rapid global growth – especially for ‘digital-born’ online platforms – can be particularly tough. Different cultures, multiple languages, recruitment challenges and seasonal sales cycles throw up all sorts of demands – usually simultaneously! Thanks to our unique global delivery capabilities, we are a key partner for geographic growth in any country you need. See how we can help with getting my outsourcing strategy right and scaling my customer services internationally.

Cost Control

Driven by high costs in geographies like the US and Western Europe, global cost control is a key factor for both established brands and new kids on the block. This requires the right balance of onshore, nearshore and offshore locations expertly combined with technologies that can significantly improve service delivery – most commonly, automation, but also specialized solutions like multilingual software which we use to augment our ‘people power’ (which is the central part of our offer).  See how we can help with improving the experience for my customers while managing my budget, by combining the right people, processes and technology.

Complex Product Portfolios

Connectivity between products and services from different providers is becoming more and more complex. As a result, customer support needs – especially from home network customers – are starting to blur, so that service boundaries aren’t always well defined. In response to this, we’re developing specific centers of excellence for technical support for key markets in nearshore and offshore locations that deliver the best talent profiles for the job. Also, we’re leveraging our technology solutions to support the front line. See some of the possibilities of digital customer experience driven by humans: digitizing my customer engagement.

Total Reliability

Amongst all of this change, increasing complexity, rapid growth and continuous innovation, there’s one constant that all of our global internet clients seek – total (operational) reliability. You’d think this would be a ‘given’, but it’s not. Especially on a global scale, across multiple markets, cultures and languages. Which is why, over many years, we’ve developed a finely tuned model that ensures the combined benefits of Centralized Management, Global Operational Excellence and Local Delivery. It’s why we’ve been able to seamlessly launch new services at scale – for example, to address the key industry concerns of trust and safety with content moderation and content curation.

Social Responsibility

Great customer experience goes hand-in-hand with our responsibilities to our people, our environment and our local communities. Our goal is to provide a worldwide framework to ensure consistency, with the flexibility to adapt this to particular local circumstances, being especially sensitive to the many different cultures and traditions that make up our global family of 60K+ people. This covers: our shared values (Creativity, Excellence and Respect); personal development opportunities; ethics/code of conduct; our approach to diversity, inclusion and well-being at work; sustainability; and community initiatives. Some particular examples of best practice include: our membership of the Global Impact Sourcing Coalition (GISC); the work of the Saham Foundation, which has supported Healthcare, Education and Social Entrepreneurship programs in Africa since 2008; and the many community-based initiatives championed by our local teams across 100+ locations in 28 Countries.
