access diverse European markets
LONDON, March 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its

Competitive Strategy Innovation and Leadership in Europe.

Teleperformance once again enjoyed a record year in 2014,
declaring consolidated revenues of €2.758 billion, at a
year-on-year increase of +9.9 percent at constant exchange rates.
On a reported basis, its growth was +13.3 percent.
When it comes to Europe
specifically, the Group's strategy is centred on its multilingual
hubs in Maastricht, Lisbon,
Athens, Istanbul, and Cairo, and balances short-term performance
needs with long-term aspirations and vision. Greece and
Turkey have both benefited from
the strategy, while Germany,
Italy, and the Netherlands also have experienced growth
of late. From a regional perspective, those achievements are
setting a strong foundation for the future. Indeed, as the
cornerstone of the Group's growth strategy in Europe, multilingual hubs enable client
companies to cover all European markets from a small number of
centers.
"Teleperformance has unique competitive advantages, including
its leadership, size and scale, financial strength, and adept
negotiation of the international playing field," said Frost &
Sullivan Global Director Stephen
Loynd. "One of the Group's strategic goals in CEMEA is to
grow organically by not only interacting with brands in their
preferred channels, but in their preferred locations as well."
Meanwhile, Teleperformance is adopting best-in-class processes
to support the efficient and consistent implementation of its
business strategy in Europe. In November, 2014, it announced
it was changing from a French public limited company (Société
Anonyme, SA) to a European company (Societas Europaea, SE). This
international status, recognized by French and European law, is
being adopted by companies in Europe and more accurately reflects
Teleperformance's European and international scope and nature.
Teleperformance was born in France decades ago, and today the Group has
over 36,000 employees and 131 contact centers in 35 countries
across CEMEA. Clearly, the region is critical to the spirit
of the Group, and to its overall success. And like other
consumer markets across the globe, things are changing in
Europe. "Consider that the market for Customer Engagement
inhabits a landscape across which today's tech savvy consumer flits
at a particularly high rate of speed, utilizing a variety of
communication channels with which to express his or her opinions
(ie, Twitter, Facebook, Instant Message, chat, email, phone,
etc.)," added Loynd. "In June, 2013, Teleperformance
therefore opened a Customer Experience Lab at its multilingual Euro
hub in Lisbon, which helps clients
build their brands by better understanding the evolving
satisfaction drivers and customer preferences across both current
and emerging channels."
In other words, Teleperformance is focusing on a multichannel
world, and Frost & Sullivan is impressed that the company has
put considerable resources into understanding today's ever-evolving
multichannel reality. Teleperformance has earned an impressive 34
awards from Frost & Sullivan over the last eight years, in
every major region of the world, and under numerous
categories. It achieved this milestone due to a combination of
its global footprint, comprehensive solutions portfolio, strategic
growth initiatives, excellent financial management, a unique
security practice, customer service leadership, and global best
practices.
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the
company that has leveraged competitive intelligence to successfully
execute a competitive strategy that results in stronger market
share, competitive brand positioning and customer satisfaction.
Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies
in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating
outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as
leadership, technological innovation, customer service and
strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market
participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews,
analysis and extensive secondary research to identify best
practices in the industry.
