The Contact Centre Industry

There is a definite increase in the amount of Contact Centres currently in operation in Jämtland. Approximately 30 Contact Centres employ about 3000 people. A decidedly positive attitude regarding Contact Centre related tasks prevails and due to our comprehensive experience of tourism in the county it is easy to find personnel with the necessary attributes – such as language skills, an excellent sense of service and good salesmanship.
Examples of Contact Centres in the region are; Aditro (One of the biggest Contac Center provider in Scandinavia. SYKES in Sveg; an international company providing, primarily, computer support; Respons in Östersund dealing with directory enquiries; Svenska Dagbladet (national newspaper), which has its base for customer support services and subscription sales in Östersund. SchlumbergerSema InfoData in Strömsund boasts a complete information and address data bank; H1 Communication AB, a listed company with focus on inbound, outbound and a unique method for retention.
