BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, June 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- During the 2017 edition of the LATAM Awards for best organizations in customer experience services and solutions in Latin America, Chevrolet and Atento S.A. (NYSE: ATTO) received the highest regional recognition for customer management, LATAM Gold for Best Business to Customer Strategy, for its "Social Media Pilots" solution, developed for Chevrolet by Atento in the southern region of Latin America.

GM Argentina, in strategic partnership with Atento, manages Chevrolet's Customer Relationship Center for Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay as well as Chevrolet's Plan de Ahorro program. Atento has developed a solution for the automobile company that is adapted to the needs of a customer who operates in an increasingly digitalized environment. The solution allows to provide customer services via social media (Facebook, Twitter, Google +, Instagram and YouTube) in the southern region of Latin America (Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay). GM and Atento first developed the customer relationship management strategy using social media in Argentina, and given the success of the operation GM Argentina has become responsible for implementing and developing the solution throughout the rest of the region.

Claudia Álvarez, Manager of Chevrolet's Customer Relationship Center in Argentina and Brazil, commented: "We are very pleased to have received this award for an innovative initiative that aims to offer our customers the best experience with our brand through social media." "Having a strategic partnership with a sector leader like Atento enables us to offer Chevrolet customers a distinct service via the channel that best adapts to their needs and preferences," Álvarez added.

Reynal added, "The development of high value added digital solutions is a key component of Atento's strategy to provide companies with the best customer experience solutions and to keep enhancing its leadership position in the Latin American region."

The LATAM Awards are one of the most important recognitions in Latin America in the field of customer experience and business process outsourcing. Their main goal is to promote and reward best practices in the CRM/BPO industry in countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico. The awards are granted annually by the ALOIC (Latin American Alliance of Customer Interaction Organizations). In order to participate, companies must have received a national award the previous year recognizing their efforts in the same field, such as the Amdia Prize in Argentina, the CIC Award in Brazil, or the National Prize for Excellence in the Contact Center and BPO Industry in Colombia, among others.
