Much has changed in the world, economy, businesses, and contact centers since Workforce Engagement Management (WEM) suites' two core components, recording and quality management, were introduced to the market, but the need for these suites' capabilities continues to grow as organizations transform.
WEM vendors are converting their suites into more open and flexible platforms that can align their capabilities with the ever-evolving needs of the fast-paced contact center market.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The WEM suite market is highly resilient: Performing well in both good and tough economic times, WEM suite vendors generated sales of $2,395.9 million in 2022 from sales to contact centers; this is an increase of 7.1% from $2,236.9 million in 2021.
- Vendors are embedding artificial intelligence (AI) and automation throughout their WEM platforms: AI, including generative AI, is enabling a new generation of WEM platforms that help organizations improve the customer and employee experience (CX and EX) while improving productivity. Generative AI is going to drive massive innovation and further reinvigorate the WEM landscape.
- Contact center as a service (CCaaS) providers have become the "sales channel" of choice for WEM solutions: Enterprises are purchasing WEM solutions from their CCaaS providers in order to simplify technology acquisition, application integration, and the ongoing management of their contact center systems.
- The total addressable market (TAM) for WEM suite providers is large and growing: Selling integrated WEM applications with CCaaS platforms represents billions of dollars in revenue for the CCaaS and WEM vendors, but this is small compared to the opportunity to sell purpose-built offerings into back-office and branch operations.

WEM Vendor Performance
Total GAAP revenue for the WEM suite vendors in fiscal 2022 was $4,325.9 million, up a very strong 10.0% from 2021. Double-digit year-over-year increases are good for any contact center IT sector, especially one as mature as WEM.
The substantial revenue increase reflects the strong performance and innovation coming from the WEM competitors who continue to deliver solutions that enterprise clients find compelling and valuable.
