VITAL BGS represents the evolution of Target Interact. Target’s heritage in the call center business dates back to 1969. You’ll find that we’ve grown ahead of trends in call center, not just with them.
We are a MultiMedia Contact Center organization offering the entire spectrum of customer contact mediums, including telephone (local and toll free), snail-mail (USPS and lock-box), eMail, Internet text chat, Microsoft NetMeeting and other H.323 compliant Internettelephones [combining concurrent voice (VoIP), video and chat], traditional and digital fax handling.
Our capabilities enable us to provide you with an economical and efficient center-of-contact to support all your Customer Relationship Management (CRM) needs on an outsourced basis. VITAL’s core focus is customer service, sales, and technical support – although we have also assisted in many campaigns to assist in disaster management. Although we offer a suite of other services, our team actually pioneered live video chat and support in 1996.
As outsourcing picks up again, clients are finding incredible value in VITAL’s services. Not only will you find that the processes contracted are performed, but when you work with VITAL BGS, you will find that there is a good deal more management experience, consultative talent, as well as genuine caring and innovation.
Roger S. LeFevre, Chief Executive Officer, a communications and call center business leader, heads VITAL’s management team. Each member of the management team has been carefully chosen to bring the critical skills needed to help the company succeed. Management consists of a group whose backgrounds include decades of successful management and marketing experience with companies such as McDonnell Douglas, US West, Waste Management, AirTouch Paging and AirTouch Cellular, GTE, FHP, Franklin Quest, and HealthRider.
