Arise was named one of only three BPOs in the Leaders category.

Five subdimensions were analyzed – vision and innovation, scope of services offered, technology and security, talent management, and delivery footprint.  Everest Group also measured impact created in the market by analyzing market adoption, portfolio mix, and value delivered.

"Arise emerged as a Leader in Everest Group's Work at Home Agent (WAHA) Customer Experience Management (CXM) PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2021, due to its expertise in facilitating large scale work-at-home agent operations, delivering learning and development traing to of a virtual workforce, and innovations in technology and security solutions," said Shirley Hung, Vice President, Everest Group. "Arise is successfully catering to volatile market demands created by COVID-19 by leveraging its cloud-based contact center platform, large contractor base, and reliable flex capacity."

Everest Group's designation of Arise as a Leader is based on its success in advancing WAHA business practices and continuing to invest in strengthening its overall virtual-first capabilities. Through the development of innovative solutions, expansion in new verticals, and serving various buyer sizes, Arise was found to be one of three companies at the forefront of WAHA CXM innovation. Advanced technology and security capabilities, such as its cloud-based omnichannel platform, agent-assist support solutions, real-time agent monitoring systems, and talent crowd management technologies also contribute to Arise's positioning.

Arise was also found to have a robust roadmap for expanding WAHA CXM services and a wider spectrum of innovation to offer value-added services to clients.

Says Etheridge, "Successfully deploying a work-from-home (WFH) program platform that can deliver advantages in capacity flex, quality experience, and cost takes a technology strategy that's completely different than traditional BPOs. The majority of brands we serve are using our platform depending on us to build support their first WFH program and need expertise and guidance from a proven winner. Innovation in every aspect of our platform delivers results that our customers and service partners love, and we are continuing to define the future of CXM by making care more responsive, more contextual, and more focused on business outcomes. Our platform allows Brands to completely change the way they think about capacity planning and remote learning while building deep, resonant relationships with their customers."

"Despite an explosion in demand for the Work-At-Home-Agent (WAHA) business model for delivering Customer Experience Management (CXM) services during the global pandemic, WAHA CXM services are more than just a temporary solution for business continuity planning," says Everest Group's Shirley Hung.

She adds, "Organizations are realizing the value of leveraging WAHA to address talent needs and deliver superior customer experience at a lower cost compared to brick and mortar operations. As companies look to embed WAHA as a component of their ongoing CXM services strategy, they should evaluate service providers who are accelerating investments in technology, security, and talent management to better support client requirements in the next normal."
