Background:

DMG Consulting LLC, a leading provider of contact center, back-office and real-time analytics market research and consulting services, today released its 2019 – 2020 Workforce Management Product and Market Report. DMG’s twelfth annual report on workforce management (WFM) delivers an incisive and comprehensive analysis of the vendors, products, pricing and best practices for this IT sector. The Report is designed to help organizations select the right solution, technology, functionality and partner to meet their existing and future front- and back-office WFM needs.

Flex scheduling, agent self-service and adaptive real-time scheduling are the new standard of WFM. The WFM vendors are investing in delivering new and enhanced methods to improve the accuracy of forecasting and scheduling for omni-channel, multi-skill and blended environments. Many of these new algorithms leverage AI technologies and are optimized for each discrete channel. Leading WFM solutions have re-imagined the traditional fixed-shift staffing paradigm and utilize flex scheduling, which empowers agents to create and manage their own schedule via self-service portals. Adaptive real-time scheduling is being used to address the intraday challenges of volatile demand and fluctuating resources. It re-forecasts intervals for the remainder of the day, determines the required skills and resources to address new projections, and automates the required scheduling changes to “acquire” or dismiss resources.

“The WFM sector has undergone a dramatic transformation,” said Donna Fluss, President of DMG Consulting. “The key differences between ’old school’ and ’new wave’ WFM are flexibility, mobility, enablement and automation.” The WFM market is performing extremely well, and DMG expects it to continue to grow at a strong rate even though it is a mature market. DMG anticipates that the WFM market will experience rapid growth over the next 5 years, increasing by 11% in 2019, by 10% in 2020 and 2021, and by 9% in both 2022 and 2023. However, it is possible that the rate of growth could be substantially higher if back-office and branch/retail implementations accelerate.

The 2019 – 2020 Workforce Management Product and Market Report provides an in-depth analysis of the contact center WFM market, the competitive landscape, market trends and challenges, vendors, product suites, technology and innovation. It provides an insightful analysis of how WFM is being re-engineered to meet the complex requirements of today’s omni-channel, virtualized contact center environments, consumers’ rising expectations and the demands of the modern workforce. The Report provides an analysis of WFM market activity as well as 5-year market projections. Six leading and contending vendors are featured in the Report: Aspect, Calabrio, Genesys, NICE, Teleopti and Verint.
