The panel explored the reasons why more companies are seeking outsourcing partners outside India and China. Xceed's Strategy and Business Development Vice President, Ahmed Refky, discussed how Egypt is the new outsourcing destination due to its economic scalability and availability of linguistic and technical talents.
Mr. Refky discussed how Xceed has been experiencing a compound annual growth rate of 54% for the last four years. Analysts such as Datamonitor and A.T. Kearny expect a compound annual growth of 50% over the next 5 years.
Xceed is expecting to direct more and higher end services in the next 5 years, the reason, as explained by Refky:”low end customer services and tier one technical support will tend to depend more and more on IVR and self services technology rather than live agents, while the live agent time will be consumed in doing higher services up the value chain”.

One advice Mr. Refky suggested to the audience was to “Look for track records, the location that suite your business and objectives you want to achieve together with the VALUE offered by the provider. Conduct a low cost pilot for a certain period of time and then ramp up a good strategy to follow and always request references of current and previous clients. Outsourcing makes perfect business sense for both the companies that want to save and produce an ROI.”
