Summary
Customer experience outsourcing is moving away from concentrated, single-location delivery toward a distributed model that blends remote work with centralised team structures. One customer experience company makes the case for what it calls flexshoring, and how organisations can build it into their strategy for the year ahead.
Removing the requirement for brick-and-mortar locations expands access to talent well beyond what a single city or region could offer, illustrated by one company's rapid state-by-state expansion in the United States. Blending teams across multiple locations also reduces exposure to single points of failure, whether from geopolitical disruption, natural disasters, or future public health events affecting a workforce.
Beyond geographic flexibility, flexshoring has a scheduling dimension too: distributed, home-based agents bring different availability patterns than traditional office-based hires, with implications for scaling during seasonal demand spikes or sourcing specialised, multilingual skill sets. Technology and culture both receive attention as prerequisites: cloud contact centre architecture, analytics platforms for routing and coaching, and a connected culture capable of unifying teams across time zones and geographies.

What will separate the customer experience partners that thrive in a distributed world from those still tied to a single location?
