ICMI Announces the 2010 Global Call Center of the Year Awards Finalists

Two outstanding call centers in the Large category and two in the Small-Medium category selected for embodying the principles of effective call center management, customer advocacy and employee engagement

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado, May 14, 2010 - The International Customer Management Institute (ICMI) has announced the
finalists for its 2010 Global Call Center of the Year Awards following a
highly competitive application and selection process.

The two finalists in the Large Call Center category are: 1) Capital One
Financial Corporation (Glenn Allen, Virginia), a Fortune 200 financial
services company serving approximately 45 million customer accounts
worldwide; and 2) New York Life Insurance Company - AARP Operations (Tampa,
Florida), a leading provider of insurance, annuity and investment products
and services for AARP members.

There was particularly intense competition in the Large Call Center
category this year, with several semifinalists deserving of some recognition,
including: Nationwide Insurance Claims Call Center; MedSolutions; VPI Pet
Insurance; and China Mobile Communications Group (Beijing branch).

In the Small/Medium Call Center category, the two 2010 finalists are: 1)
Parago Communications Canada Inc. (Miramichi, New Brunswick), an incentive
programs specialist aimed at motivating clients' customers, channel partners,
and sales force/employees; and 2) TransCore Freight Services (Beaverton,
Oregon), a leading transportation solutions provider serving brokers,
carriers, owner-operators and shippers in the U.S. and Canada - and the
recipient of the ICMI Global Call Center of the Year Award in 2007.

The winner in each category will be announced on June 16 in New Orleans
at the Annual Call Center Exhibition (ACCE) - ICMI's flagship conference.

Regardless of the outcome, each finalist is proud to have been selected
as a finalist for the coveted award.

"It's an honor to be recognized by ICMI as a finalist for this
prestigious award, and we at Capital One are thrilled that the industry is
taking notice of the enhanced level of service we provide our customers,"
says Heather Cox, Senior Vice President at Capital One. "Our associates are
committed to operational excellence and strive to delight our customers."

New York Life Insurance Company's Corporate Vice President, Victor
Verastegui, offers similar sentiments. "New York Life's selection as a
finalist for this prestigious industry award further validates the value of
clear alignment between our people, mission and vision, and our commitment to
delivering exceptional customer service, through a 'best-in-class' call
center operation. This recognition creates real employee value."

Juli Spottiswood, CEO and President of Parago, is very happy to see that
all her team's hard work in customer care is paying off. "We are very honored
to be recognized as a finalist by ICMI for the Small-to-Medium Call Center of
the Year. At Parago, call centers are a critical touch point for our clients
and their customers, and we have worked tirelessly to optimize that
interaction."

And the people at TransCore are beaming over being selected as a finalist
a second time.

"After being named ICMI Call Center of the Year in 2007, we are delighted
to see TransCore return as a finalist for this year's award," says Laura
Mendoza, Senior Manager of Customer Support for TransCore. "To compete at
this level - again - shows TransCore's consistent delivery of excellent
customer service."

ICMI presents its Global Call Center of the Year Awards annually,
recognizing outstanding customer care organizations that embody call center
excellence in the following ways:

    - Show a strong grasp of the core and advanced principles of effective
      call center management

    - Measure the right metrics and consistently meet or exceed key
      performance objectives - always mindful of each metric's impact on the
      customer experience

    - Sustain a positive work culture that fosters employee engagement,
      development, and continuous improvement

    - Demonstrate innovation and progressive strategy in terms of people
      management, processes and technology

    - Continually strive to strengthen the call center's role within and
      strategic value to the larger organization

Narrowing down the award applicants to two in each category was no easy
task this year, according to ICMI's Community Services Manager and
Chairperson of the 2010 Global Call Center of the Year Selection Committee.

"The caliber of call centers that applied for the award was exceptionally
high - we on the committee deliberated for hours to make our final
selections," says Greg Levin, Community Service Manager, ICMI. "Having so
many organizations that have such outstanding processes and practices in
place and that demonstrate such a strong commitment to customers and agents
is a testament to how far the call center industry has come."

Call centers that win a Global Call Center of the Year award enjoy
worldwide recognition, enhanced customer and employee loyalty and
acquisition, and increased respect and support from senior management and key
departments within the enterprise.
