CCI Global and CCI Kenya on best practice BPO of administration processes overseas for international clients
CCI Kenya has been bringing this experience to East Africa since 2016, and has grown rapidly since then. To meet demand from domestic clients and international outsourcing clients, CCI Kenya has developed international call centres in Kenya to deliver excellent customer service strategies and a talented English-speaking young workforce to fulfil administration tasks for growing businesses needing to sustain specialist capabilities.
There are around 3,500 employees working for CCI Kenya, across two sites. By Q1 2024, the CCI Global division will move into its purpose-built state-of-the-art facility at Tatu City, Nairobi. This will increase its capacity to around 9,000 employees, who will work on different projects and sectors primarily in the US and the UK.
BPO covers digital customer management strategies and much more
Business process outsourcing (BPO) covers various functions, ranging from CCI Kenya helping BPO partners with customer contact, customer outbound calls (billing, loyalty schemes, customer support),digital customer management strategies, business growth strategies or to deliver consumer sales, and of course, back office administration support.
In order for international clients to derive true value from their BPO partners, the service must display a deep understanding of the client’s sector, understanding of the international standard those partners work in, SLA execution, and the agents must display specialist capabilities. And it has to all be cost effective.
And this is exactly what CCI Kenya offers to the 30+ leading brands the division now works with.
CCI is scalable and flexible
“The CCI Group as a whole – and CCI Kenya as its second largest division – has the flexibility and scalability to successfully manage high volume tasks in a highly effective way,” explains Managing Director of CCI Kenya, Rishi Jatania
“While we work in a call centre or contact centre capacity for some of our clients, for others we provide all kinds of back-office support, finance and accounting, data entry, processing and management and, for some, insurance processing tasks too.
“Every business we work with needs focused cost-effective solutions, and our company is able to provide these. We work quickly to establish the skills necessary to provide the solution to companies looking to outsource – whether that’s for retail, telecommunications, across leisure sectors or mobile technology – and develop a deep understanding of the needs of the client.”
