The strategic relationship will enable both companies to expand their reach in the global call center outsourcing industry and provide a full suite of solutions for their clients.

“There is a clear shift in the marketplace to hosted call center technology because of the cost, maintenance and functionality advantages. inContact is playing a key role in driving that momentum because of their platform’s reliability, versatility and ease of use”
