Outsourcing Customer Care In Europe

I have been asked by a client for examples of successful outsourcing of customer care in Europe.

From my own personal experience - I've not seen a lot of success - but I may be being unecessary cynical!

Can anybody provide positive examples of outsourcing - particularly across country borders in Europe? If you have some bad stories I'd been interested too!

Best wishes

Bulgarian Dreams?

It has just been announced that Hewlett-Packard have chosen Bulgaria among 14 European countries for the location of a new global services support centre. It will start operations in June this year and will eventually employ over 1,000 Bulgarian professionals, serving customers in Europe, the Near East and Africa.

And they won't be alone; located around Sofia are hundreds of small companies doing projects for companies such as Boeing, BMW, General Motors, and Siemens.

Reports from Bulgaria say that interest among other foreign companies is growing fast and between 10 and 20 European companies negotiate every month about relocation of their support activities to Bulgaria.

There is much talk of «nearshoring» as opposed to «offshoring» in Europe right now, with companies outsourcing work to countries that cost less but are only a short distance away. But as in the US, the growing use of non-domestic workers could provoke a backlash so many companies are keeping their outsourcing plans quiet!

I too would like to hear from CSM members on any experience they have on this growing trend.

To obtain leads into your CRM, many businesses, things, tools, and strategies are employed in the digital era. There is one strategy that, among all the various ways businesses pursue this objective, has never changed and, most likely, never will. Only professional call center outsourcing companies deal with this strategy.
