Editor's Notes
B2B was founded in February 2011 to meet the growing demand for Near-shore BPO. Our founder and president, Amilcar Taveras, decided to open a new facility to continue to enhance and expand upon the service offering to his North American customers. He and the co-founder, Milton Blanco knew the city of Santiago had become a dominant force in the contact center industry. Being the General Secretary for the DCCA (Domincan Republic Contact Center Association), as well as, a founding member of the organization, Mr. Taveras has been helping in the development of the region as the dominant Near-Shore destination for North American companies. Jointly, they have over 35 years combined experience in managing and developing Contact Centers in the region and their leadership has led B2B to already gaining recognition amongst Contact Center organizations such as the ATA (American Teleservices Association) who will be featuring us in their upcoming industry Newsletter. B2B will be live as of April 1, 2011. B2B Contact Solution is perfectly situated in Los Jardines Metropolitanos, in Santiago, Dominican Republic, an area of commerce, education, and entertainment. In addition to our great location, B2B receives the Free Zone designation at it’s facility due to the country’s focus and investment in the contact center industry. Over the past 10 years, Dominican Republic has invested heavily in the Contact Center industry and now boasts a mature, competitive, and lucrative service offering. B2B can offer: Hardworking, passionate agents who understand North American language and culture A world-class telecommunications infrastructure in a key city An attractive economic proposition for premium-level service Santiago is the second largest city in the Dominican Republic. It is a valley surrounded by mountains, in the north-central part of the island. The region’s focus on education and international commerce has led to a strong push toward multilingual studies. The education system requires English studies at all levels, yielding a vast pool of highly qualified agents. Additionally, B2B is situated between two of the countries major universities: Pontificia Universidad Catolica Madre y Maestra (UCaMayMa), Universidad Tecnologica de Santiago (UTESA). Many Haitians study at these universities and are a strong pool of French and Creole speaking agents.
Significant economic advances, privatization, state-of-the art infrastructures, easy access and logistics, and a focus in the contact center industry has led many North American companies to look towards Dominican Republic for their BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) needs. Dominican Republic was also selected as the location for the NAP of the Caribbean, making it a major hub for all technical resources.
Our senior management team has extensive experience in the contact center industry and in the region. From call center design and development, to contact center management, our team is focused on ensuring our customers will have the tools available to ensure our team is an extension of theirs. We ourselves use the BPO model because we believe that allowing experts to manage their areas of expertise makes our business model more successful and profitable, allowing us to give more competitive pricing to our customers. Hence we outsource accounting and legal services to industry leaders like KPMG to handle our accounting and financials. As an owner-operated company, we are able to leverage the talent of these agents to a degree the competition can’t match. By maintaining a lean management structure, we direct a substantial portion of our investment where it will have the greatest impact on our programs—to our people
