As a member of the IAT Board of Directors, he has helped to formulate and carry out corporate vision.

I am dedicated to ensuring that our customers continue to benefit from the high level of service and product development they have come to expect from IAT.?

Sorensen, whose entrepreneurial vision led him to be one of the first to see the value of CTI/IVR technology to the collection industry, founded IAT with his brother, Kent, in 1986. Under his leadership, IAT has become a leading provider of communication solutions for collections. He was instrumental in positioning IAT?s legacy product, SmartDial, as synonymous with ?predictive dialer.? He has skillfully guided the successful product transition to Windows-based CT Center, which combines predictive dialing and interactive communications technology, thus ensuring IAT?s continued position as a market leader.


For several years, Sorensen has had personal aspirations to pursue other interests.

With the highly successful development and implementation of our Windows-based product, CT Center, I feel like we have accomplished that. I am also leaving the company in the hands of a team with an extremely high level of competence.?
