AnswerNet Acquires Unicall, Expands In Outbound Market

The AnswerNet Network, (www.AnswerNet.com), a leading provider of outsourced contact center and telemessaging services has acquired the assets of Unicall International, Inc., an outbound and inbound contact center outsourcer based in Fairlawn, OH.

Unicall’s Fairlawn contact center will continue to operate as part of the AnswerNet Network’s growing 54-site outsourcing business. Unicall President and founder Ben Harris joins AnswerNet in the role of Corporate Operations Manager, focusing on outbound services and process development.
