DMG – 2013 DA Report Highlights
The benefits of DA are
substantial, quantifiable and
can save users time, money
and customers:

As of the end of July 2013,
DMG Consulting estimates
there were 993 front and backoffice customers using DA, an
increase of 103.9% since 2010.

Perhaps most importantly,
DA can help users analyze
and enhance the customer
experience by recreating
many aspects of the journey
based on desktop events.


The DA sector is expected to
grow by 20%, 25%, 25%, 30%
and 30% in each year between
2013 and 2017, respectively.

These numbers may be
conservative if DA really
catches on in the back
office, which employs three
times more people than the
contact center sector.
