Digital transformation involves using digital technologies to change how businesses operate and deliver value. This trend is growing as organizations seek to improve efficiency, with advanced technologies helping to streamline processes and cut operational costs. Digital transformation enhances cloud contact center software by providing scalable and flexible technologies that improve customer service and operational efficiency. For example, in October 2022, the UK government committed $1.35 billion (£1 billion) to boost economic growth in the region, including a $471 million (£350 million) investment to enhance digital capabilities and support future technology projects at two universities. As a result, the rise in digital transformation is fueling the growth of the cloud contact center software market.

Leading companies in the market are focusing on developing advanced AI-based features such as AI-driven quality management to consistently evaluate customer interactions, identify coaching opportunities, and improve agent performance while maintaining high service quality. AI-driven quality management uses artificial intelligence to assess customer interactions automatically, identify performance gaps, provide actionable coaching insights, and ensure consistent service quality, ultimately enhancing agent performance and the overall customer experience. For instance, in April 2025, Calabrio, a US-based workforce performance company, introduced over 70 AI-driven features for its Calabrio ONE cloud contact center software suite. These enhancements included AI-powered quality management, interaction summaries, trending topic analysis, real-time desktop analytics, and automated workforce management tools, all aimed at optimizing agent performance, streamlining operations, and improving customer experiences. These innovations allow managers to focus on strategic improvements rather than manual oversight, while also offering agents greater autonomy and support, reducing burnout and increasing job satisfaction.

In December 2023, NICE, a US-based provider of AI-powered cloud customer experience (CX) software and contact center solutions, acquired LiveVox for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition aimed to create the industry's only interaction-centric CX platform by combining advanced conversational AI and proactive outreach capabilities to improve automation, streamline CX operations, and expand NICE’s global customer base.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the information technology sector, particularly in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Higher duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have raised production and operational costs for tech firms, cloud service providers, and data centers. Companies relying on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are facing longer lead times and increased pricing pressures. In parallel, tariffs on specialized software tools and retaliatory measures from key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and reduced overseas demand for U.S.-developed technologies. To navigate these challenges, the sector is accelerating investments in domestic chip fabrication, diversifying supplier bases, and adopting AI-driven automation to enhance operational resilience and cost efficiency.
