African
emerging Information Technology (IT) leader, iSON Group is extending its reach
with build out of call centers across Africa countries, ITRealms reports.
Currently,
iSON boost of presence in 29 countries spanning 4 continents including Africa, Association
of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the Middle East, iSON Group is
inarguably a market leader in its niche.
ITRealms gathered that iSON Group consists of three operating companies, namely the iSON
BPO which provides outsourcing services specifically in customer service
experience management, iSON Technologies the systems integrator arm and iSON
Innovation and Investment (i3), which is a recent initiative launched by the
Group to drive consumer internet business in Africa.
The Chairman of iSON Group, Mr Ramesh Awtaney, was quoted in
a press statement made available to ITRealms by Ope Alebiosu, as saying that in Africa alone, iSON operates
in 25 countries with over 10,000 employees operating in its call centers including
Nigeria, Zambia, Ghana, South Sudan, Liberia, Uganda and Tanzania, with plans
to build more facilities in the coming years.
“With the
global awakening to more cost effective solutions, Business Process Outsourcing,
with specific regard to call center management has become a cost effective solution
to most customer centric organizations with the twin benefit of this being a
ready-made platform for employment generation for the rising number of
employable youths, with basic IT training to steer them onto a gainful career
path.
“We are
responding simply to the law of demand and supply but in such a way that
‘supply’ in turn organically grows macro
economies rapidly in all our host communities,” Chairman and Founder of iSON
groups asserts.
“This of
course has a ripple effect on not just providing a much needed service to our
clients and engendering youth development and capacity but also building and
sustaining our communities while encouraging urban to semi urban job shift,” he
concludes.
As of 2016, Nigeria
accounts for over half the call center staff working for iSON across Africa. Due
to the rigorous training the company offers its staff, they are highly valuable
in other verticals they migrate to, thus reinforcing iSON as a strong platform
for capacity engagement and building.
