CHICAGO, March 3 — Nitel, a leading next-generation technology service provider, today announced that it has been presented with a Stevie Award in the Customer Service Department of the Year – Telecommunications category. This represents the third such award Nitel has won since 2019.

The award was given to the Nitel network operations center (NOC) in recognition of the work they did in 2021 to create a positive experience for Nitel’s business customers amid significant shifts in technology over the past year, including:

  • Increases in remote work
  • Accelerated shifts to public cloud environments
  • Expanding landscape of cyberthreats

The Nitel NOC responded to these challenges by improving in key areas such as shorter customer hold times, improved average time to repair and increased customer satisfaction scores.

The Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service are the world’s top honors for customer service, contact center, business development and sales professionals.  The Stevie Awards organizes eight of the world’s leading business awards programs, also including the prestigious American Business Awards® and International Business Awards®.
