Virtual-Agent Services Establishes 12th North American Contact Center

SCHAUMBURG, IL (August 31, 2005) – Virtual-Agent Services (VAS), a high quality provider of contact center solutions, announced today that it has established its twelfth customer care location in the Village of Rogersville, New Brunswick, Canada. VAS currently provides inbound services to a number of high profile clients including CVS Pharmacy, CenterPoint Energy Minnesota Gas, Mobil Travel Guide, TravelCLICK, Passkey International, and Morgans Hotel Group.

 

Award-winning VAS has proved to be a leader in the contact center industry providing high quality services to high profile clients. Utilizing its Distributed Workforce Concept model, VAS has connected a series of fully functional transaction centers (PODs) located throughout New Brunswick , Canada , using a one common telephone system.

With this unique business model, VAS is able to bring the work to skilled local people rather than requiring people to travel long distances to obtain work.

 

“VAS is helping us to create new job opportunities not just in our urban areas, but in rural areas and smaller communities like Rogersville,” said New Brunswick Premier Bernard Lord. “We value the partnership that we have established with VAS years ago and we look forward to seeing it bring even more business and even more jobs to New Brunswick .”

 

“Our corporate model creates a wonderful opportunity for skilled rural residents,” confirmed Néri Basque, VAS Executive Vice-President IT and Strategic Development. “This allows VAS to hire a qualified and dedicated workforce providing a cost efficient, high quality solution for our clients. With over 700 full time employees today, VAS will continue to grow at a healthy rate based on our existing client growth and new client’s business requirements.”
