INBOUND CALL CENTER FOR JAZZ
Mobilink completed the process of outsourcing its contact centers in Islamabad and Karachi to Ibex Global, a
wholly owned subsidiary of ‘The Resource Group’ (TRG) International and Mind bridge last year in Aug, 2016.
The decision was taken after the Mobilink, Warid merger.
Initially IBEX Global were handed over the 60% of the employees and the major Ques. And Mind bridge was
looking after the rest. But Mobilink now known as JAZZ have decided to hire another Vendor and the division in
the percentages of the employees and Ques assigned to them will be equally distributed and harmonized.
Their vision behind the idea as per JAZZ is to ensure 100% Quality services being provided to their customer base
and they believe that the competition amongst the vendors will help them to maintain the service level too.
They are looking forward to ensure KPIs that will be monitored and also in placing the reward system.
