“It’s an honor to be awarded the Gold Stevie once again in recognition for the team’s hard work and excellence in support of our clients,” said Phil Friedman, president and CEO, CGS. “Despite this past year’s disrupted market, CGS quickly moved to protect the health and safety of our employees, and maintain 100 percent operational functionality to serve our customers, while also enacting next-generation technology to elevate that support.”
“We’re proud to have helped our global customers maintain operations throughout the disruption and we’re appreciative of this recognition by the Stevie Awards for three consecutive years,” said Steve Petruk, president of Global Outsourcing division, CGS. “As many companies and call centers went to virtual workplaces, customer support became more critical than ever before. We were able to employ emerging technology, including our proprietary augmented reality solution, Teamwork AR™, to ensure uninterrupted service and offer a more immersive experience through remote assistance. When we all needed to social distance, providing a human connection with supplemental technology has been invaluable.”
