Since 1998 Competence Call Center (CCC) has been offering high quality Business Process Outsourcing in the topics of incoming and outgoing contact center solutions, written customer communication and back office activities. At 13 locations in 8 European countries (Austria, France, Germany, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Switzerland, Turkey) CCC is currently employing more than 5.000 people. Quality, expansion and international growth are and have been the company´s clear strategies and focus since its foundation.

With the rapid digital and technical development the product portfolio and activity fields of CCC have become even larger and more complex. With customers approaching companies via Social Media, Chat, Apps, Forum or Blogs CCC as an outsourcing partner adapts quickly to new trends. The work of our 5000 service professionals is becoming ever more demanding and complex. Employee training and development is the key to keeping up with the changing conditions and in fulfilling our partner’s requirements. Our internal education and further training program, the CCC Campus offers mandatory and voluntary workshops and courses to all CCC staff to broaden their knowledge and promote their careers.

For new projects we are able to ramp up technical and personal requirements in only 3 to 4 weeks.

A move into a new market that lies in our expansion focus and building up a new CCC location is possible within 6 to 10 weeks, if required.

Competence Call Center has been recording a two-digit growth rate in every fiscal year since its foundation. The turnover in 2013 was more than 90 Mio €.

To continue its expansion course in existing and new markets Competence Call Center has been working together with Silverfleet Capital since the beginning of 2014. With the new owners, CCC will play an even larger and more important role in the exciting development of the international call center industry.

Only since July 2013 Competence Call Center has opened up three more locations.

With Essen, CCC is now operating at a total of 5 German locations. Further expansion on the market is planned.

With the opening in Gdansk, Poland CCC entered its 8th European market. Brasov, Romania is the most recent CCC location and together with CCC Bucharest supports the company’s mulit-location strategy.
