86% of organisations polled participate to compare their performance to peer group businesses
(1888PressRelease) March 03, 2009 - Datacraft, a Dimension Data company, today announced the launch of the world's first online Benchmarking Survey and comparison tool for the global contact centre industry.
The launch follows a growing demand from organisations for an online tool to compare their contact centre operations and capabilities with that of their peers and competitors, and provide them with a set of best practice standards and benchmarks including staffing and training, performance metrics, technology usage, budgets and development plans.
Martin Dove, Dimension Data's Managing Director, Customer Interactive Solutions Global, said: "For the past decade, the Benchmarking Report was produced in print format. When we polled participants of the 2008 Benchmarking Report, 86% said they participate in the research study in order to compare their performance to peer group businesses, and to identify opportunities for cost reduction and performance improvement. Respondents also said that the greatest barriers to gaining maximum value from benchmarking exercises was the inability to compare results to specific groups; data validation and accuracy, cost, and time.
"Coupled with an economic climate in which organisations are striving to cut costs and become leaner and more efficient, it makes sense to publish the Benchmarking Report results online. Moreover, organisations that participate in the 2009 study will be able to benchmark the performance of their operations in a world of intense competition and tough targets," said Dove.

For participants who employ over 20 contact centre agents, the 2009 Contact Centre Benchmarking Report will also offer a range of new benefits, including free access to a greater pool of statistics and information.
