EMERGIA APPROACH

Emergia Customer Care was born in early 2005, led

by a group of professionals fleeing the traditional

models of the Contact Center industry, to create a

new kind of company. Emergia founders then

decided to go for a different form of management,

defending from the beginning, an approach totally

focused on customer needs.

Our management team, with an average of 19 years

of industry experience, has been working every day since then for a consistent and

sustainable quality management.

Therefore, Emergia applies a company model based on the strategic alignment of

objectives. Focused on merging the client's business objectives with those of

Emergia, this model is complemented by a high level of flexibility and a constant

commitment to finding added value solutions for the customer.
