CONTACT CENTRE AND BUSINESS PROCESS OUTSOURCING IN EAST AFRICA

THE KENCALL STORY



I  wrote about the call centre outsourcing business in India and Philippines and why African countries are lagging behind in this regard. Despite Africa's educated pool, strong work ethic, low cost of labour, high motivation to succeed and large pool of young talent waiting to be employed one will wonder why Africa could not benefit from the outsourcing and BPO business until the 21st century.

However, I got a mail from one of the readers of this blog informing me about the rise in contact centre and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) in East Africa. I researched about this growth and i found out that Kenya  leads the way. This prod me to write share the Kencall story.

Outsourcing contact centres is a business that has grown to become an increasingly popular option for both large and small companies in recent years with the aim of cutting cost ,companies therefore hire third party firms, BPO companies to handle their interaction functions of their business. South Africa is seen as the hub of contact biz in Africa just as India in Asia.

The Kencall story:
KenCall is the largest contact centre in Kenya providing BPO services to firms worldwide. This is a company that got award for the Best Non European Call Centre at the Contact Centre Focus (CCF) awards 2008.
