Adivent unveils outsourcing services

Adivent, a European sales outsourcing company focused on the telecom market, revealed its full suite of SalesTarget services in North America, says IT News Online.

Adivent aims to streamline the sales and operations process and to allow North American companies to quickly establish a sales presence in Europe at a fraction of the time and cost it typically takes using traditional methods.

Gianni Burzi, managing partner at Adivent, says: "We spent the past year developing a set of process-based services that yield proven results, without large up-front costs, that will dramatically speed time-to-market and deliver increased sales for telecom hardware and software suppliers selling into the European market."

Freeborders has posted exceptional growth figures which included the doubling of global sourcing revenue in 2007.

The company expects to experience similar success in the near future, and will consider the possibility of an initial public offering in the next few years as well as making the strategic expansion into a third vertical.
