Colchester, United Kingdom, January 29, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Vocal’s new Managed Services team will kick off operations on 1st March 2012, delivering a differentiated range of support services to meet the diverse needs of its customers across many industries. Three key professionals have joined the business, bringing their knowledge and experience to further develop Vocal’s customer services and account management for iModus. The company has made a further three hires in its sales function.

Managing Director Trevor Wheatley-Perry said, “I’m delighted to welcome the new team members. Their skills are key as we complete our transition to a Managed Services approach, effectively delivering a defined set of services depending on each customer’s Managed Service Agreement. When combined with the 24 x 7 support that we offer to our UK based customers, this is a significant differentiator for us in the Business Continuity marketplace, moving us on from the traditional, reactive approach to customer service and software support. Our Managed Services model will expedite our expansion in the US and EMEA markets.
