Datamonitor has previously tracked the market for three key types of virtual
worker, home workers, branch workers and back office/knowledge workers. These
are all types entirely appropriate to the theme of virtualization as they
represent the bulk of remote worker types which are part of the virtualization
trend .
Scope
Forecasts agent position growth for remote workers in the contact center to
2010. Breaks the function of remote workers into home-workers, branch workers
and back-office / knowledge workers.

between 2005 and 2010. Datamonitor estimates that one tenth of the total agent
position population in 2010 will be remote workers.
