NEW YORK, July 1 /PRNewswire/ --

- New York-based Computer Generated Solutions, Inc. has been recognized for its leadership, strategic expansion, and growth in Romania over the past two years. CGS services include inbound customer support, outbound sales and marketing, and outsourced back-office processes.

Computer Generated Solutions (http://www.cgsinc.com) has been recognized for its outsourced Customer Care Services (CCS) offering by industry analyst firm IDC. CGS appears as a Company on the Move in IDC's Worldwide Contact Center Services 2009* competitive analysis published in March. CGS and twelve other service providers were identified as industry leaders in the study based on an overall consideration of revenue, thought leadership, innovation, and potential at a time of great industry and economic change. In the report, IDC pointed to CGS's sophisticated leadership, strategic expansion, and its growth in Romania. In addition to its numerous long-term client relationships with global industry leaders, major service contracts with IBM, Lenovo, Dell, AOL, Vodafone and Orange were also identified as factors that position CGS well in call center and other business process outsourcing (BPO) services.

CEO Phil Friedman's deep understanding of the international business environment should continue to propel CGS forward, commented Stephen Loynd, Program Manager for Contact Center Services research at IDC. A key component of the company's growth strategy is its Contact Center Solution (CCS). CGS is pursuing a strategy to expand its outsourcing business, specifically as it relates to customer care and finance and accounting.

With five global locations, 2,500 customer service agents and support in 14 languages, CGS has the ability to reengineer, supplement, or completely manage customer support services for virtually any size company or government agency.

Specific core CGS markets and clients include technical support for hardware manufacturers, telecom operators, consumer electronics, and other product companies; and collection, logistics, and other back-office operations for banks, financial institutions, and insurance companies.

CGS is moving aggressively to capture gains from new global realities, continued Loynd. The company's offshore strategy leverages local expertise. It should continue to benefit from being a US-based company with operations that reach across the globe.
