Emerging leader in IT and ITes in Africa, iSON Group has continued to drive strong presence with its establishment of call centers all over Africa. With a presence in 29 countries spanning 4 continents i.e. Africa, ASEAN and the Middle East, iSON Group is inarguably a market leader in its niche.
iSON Group consists of three operating companies, 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.
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.
iSON Group services a growing list of market leaders in their various niches i.e. Banking, Insurance Financial Services (BFSI), Telecom, Hospitality, Retail, Government, Health care, FMCG and DTH, Media and Entertainment
The company offers its teeming customers all over the world various services such as analytics, customer experience management, voice process solution and CRM process solution.
