Vertex is a call centre operator that also offers a variety of other business process outsourcing (BPO) and customer management outsourcing services.[2][3][4] This British firm has reflected general trends in the industry over the past decade by having more of its services provisioned from India and by marrying its call centre operations with debt collection services.[5]
