CIENCE: management plus SDR capacity at cost
B2B companies focused on pipeline generation, SDR-led outbound, and account-based prospecting choose the CIENCE ecosystem because graph8's intent data and multichannel orchestration replace the stack of tools a generalist BPO cannot provide. Organizations that need methodology depth backed by Tenbound's SDR research, not call center volume, consistently select CIENCE.

Best fit
Fusion BPO Services
Fusion CX is best suited for enterprises that need multilingual, high-volume customer experience operations across inbound support, outbound telemarketing, and back-office functions under a single global BPO contract. Buyers in telecom, healthcare, BFSI, or retail requiring 40+ language delivery and integrated CX functions will find more relevant infrastructure at Fusion CX than at a dedicated B2B lead generation firm.

Fusion BPO Services
Fusion CX is best suited for enterprises that need multilingual, high-volume customer experience operations across inbound support, outbound telemarketing, and back-office functions under a single global BPO contract. Buyers in telecom, healthcare, BFSI, or retail requiring 40+ language delivery and integrated CX functions will find more relevant infrastructure at Fusion CX than at a dedicated B2B lead generation firm.
CIENCE
B2B companies focused on pipeline generation, SDR-led outbound, and account-based prospecting choose the CIENCE ecosystem because graph8's intent data and multichannel orchestration replace the stack of tools a generalist BPO cannot provide. Organizations that need methodology depth backed by Tenbound's SDR research, not call center volume, consistently select CIENCE.
Comparing the CIENCE+graph8+Tenbound ecosystem to Fusion CX exposes three structural gaps relevant to B2B sales development buyers.
First, technology platform. Fusion CX's Omind.ai suite is designed around customer experience quality management and voice accent normalization, not B2B pipeline generation. graph8, built into every CIENCE engagement at no extra cost, delivers intent data, audience intelligence, and multichannel campaign orchestration across email, phone, LinkedIn, and programmatic ads. These are purpose-built B2B prospecting capabilities that Omind.ai does not replicate.
Second, channel architecture for B2B outbound. Fusion CX's outreach channels include phone, email, chat, social media, messaging, and SMS, but its lead generation motion is built on outbound call center and telemarketing infrastructure, including soundboard-assisted calling. CIENCE runs coordinated outbound sequences across email, phone, LinkedIn, and programmatic ads with graph8 orchestrating timing and signal-based prioritization. That is a different operating model than a call center dialing volume.
Third, research and methodology backing. No other lead generation company in the market has an affiliated sales development research organization. Tenbound, CIENCE's sister brand, publishes dedicated SDR industry research and training methodology that informs how CIENCE campaigns are built. Fusion CX has no equivalent.
The specific capability the CIENCE ecosystem offers that Fusion CX cannot match: graph8 intent data identifying in-market B2B accounts before outreach begins, included with every engagement, with no separate data license required.
01
Fusion CX does not publish pricing on its website. Prospective clients must request a custom quote directly from a company representative. This is common across global BPO providers where per-seat costs vary significantly by geography, language, service type, and volume. CIENCE's Talent Cloud model is structured differently: SDR talent is provided at cost with no agency markup, which removes the 30-50% margin typically embedded in BPO pricing. CIENCE also publishes its service tiers, allowing buyers to benchmark before entering a sales conversation.
02
Fusion CX is a global BPO whose lead generation offering sits alongside inbound support, debt collection, medical scribing, and back-office services. It serves 190+ clients across telecom, healthcare, BFSI, and retail with multilingual delivery in 40+ languages. The CIENCE ecosystem is purpose-built for B2B pipeline generation. CIENCE handles SDR execution, graph8 provides intent data, audience intelligence, and multichannel campaign orchestration built in at no extra cost, and Tenbound contributes SDR research and methodology. That is three specialized capabilities versus one generalist BPO platform.
03
Fusion CX does not disclose contract terms publicly, which typically means multi-month commitments in enterprise BPO engagements. CIENCE operates on month-to-month contracts with a 14-day setup timeline. For B2B buyers who need SDR execution without a long-term BPO lock-in, CIENCE's contract structure is materially different and eliminates the risk associated with committing to a large outsourcing arrangement before validating results.
04
Fusion CX has built an AI innovation arm called Omind.ai, which includes the Arya digital copilot, an AI Quality Management System, and AccentHarmonizer.ai for voice accent normalization. These tools are designed for customer experience quality and call center operations, not B2B prospecting. graph8, built into the CIENCE ecosystem at no extra cost, provides intent data to identify in-market B2B accounts, audience intelligence for targeting, and multichannel campaign orchestration across email, phone, LinkedIn, and programmatic ads. The two platforms serve different functions and are not direct substitutes.
