LONDON, U.K. — September 23, 2015 — Based on its recent analysis of the contact centre outsourcing market, Frost & Sullivan recognises Atento with the 2015 European Frost & Sullivan Award for Customer Service Leadership. Atento has made skilful use of HR management to deliver excellent customer experiences in the customer relationship management business process outsourcing (CRM BPO) services markets in Latin America and Europe.

Atento has diversified and expanded its services, increasing their complexity and developing customised end-to-end solutions such as collections, means of payment, face to face / trade marketing, insurance services management, credit management, and other CRM BPO processes. The company believes that its position as an end-to-end provider of CRM BPO solutions is a vital factor in its success.
Customer-focused policies have enabled Atento to build long-lasting relationships with clients. The long tenure of many of its operational managers, most of whom have worked with the company for more than ten years, has allowed Atento to build important operational experience and vertical expertise, while maintaining close relationships with key clients.
“Atento’s focus on customised client solutions indicates how important Atento feels it is to create beneficial partnerships with clients,” said Frost & Sullivan Director Stephen Loynd. “By linking employees’ incentives with clients’ success, Atento is helping add real value in its relationships.”
Atento also has invested heavily in its sales teams and established separate new business acquisition areas. Atento’s telecom clients tend to appreciate these credentials, which, in turn, enrich the customer ownership experience.
