"Shortly after this merger, it became evident that the operating needs of the company's customer care clients were unique compared with those of our concierge clients.

Sally Hurley, CEO of VIPdesk Connect shares, "We are extremely excited to have the opportunity to focus exclusively on the customer care business. Over the past fourteen years, our company established itself as the expert in virtual call center services.
