These services are valued for their cost-effectiveness, accessibility for remote work, robust data security, and compliance features. For outsourced customer care providers, leveraging cloud-based services enables them to foster innovation, realize cost savings, and facilitate business expansion while delivering high-quality, scalable support solutions to their clients. For example, AAG IT Services, a UK-based company offering a comprehensive suite of IT services, witnessed significant revenue growth in public cloud services, generating over $415 billion in revenue in 2022, with projections indicating revenue reaching $526 billion by 2023. Thus, the expanding adoption of cloud-based services serves as a catalyst for the outsourced customer care services market's growth.
