Alpine Access Accelerates Transformation of the Contact Center Industry

DENVER, March 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Alpine Access, the premier provider of virtual contact center solutions and services, today announced its results for the full year 2011 with revenue growth of 54% over the prior year. The Company has more than doubled in size in the past two years and ended 2011 with revenues in excess of $100 million, further expanding the Company's leadership position as the largest and fastest-growing international provider of a homeshored employee workforce.

Alpine Access' unmatched performance is a clear testament to the transformative value of the work-at-home model that the company pioneered more than a decade ago. With 19 consecutive quarters of year-over-year revenue growth and over 50 client programs supporting many leading Fortune 500 brands, Alpine Access continues to lead the evolution of the contact center industry to a better value, higher quality, and more efficient model. Additional highlights from 2011 include:

• Signed 10 new enterprise clients with a total annual contract value in excess of $50 million;
• Expanded internationally and hired over 600 employees to provide in-country support across eight Canadian provinces;
• Delivered multiple successful deployments of its patent-pending SaaS-based talent management platform and Secure Talk™ cloud security solution;
• Evolved and grew its non-voice capabilities in areas such as web chat and back-office support; and,
• Broadened the senior leadership team with multiple key hires to position the company for future growth, including a CFO, SVP of Operations, and International Country Manager, among others.

"I am extremely proud of our team's accomplishments in 2011," said Christopher M. Carrington, President and CEO of Alpine Access. "We came into the year after a great 2010 that would have been tough to match, but by all measurements our 5,000 employees knocked the cover off the ball once again. Doubling a company in the span of two years is no small feat, yet we remain focused daily on delivering the value and quality that our clients and partners have come to trust and expect from us."
