Drake Software Opens New Call Center in Hayesville, NC
HAYESVILLE, NC (August 9, 2010) - - Drake software, a leading supplier of tax preparation software to tax professionals throughout the United States, will be opening a new call center in Hayesville. This call center, an addition to the call centers in Franklin and Sylva, NC, is responsible for providing technical support to software users. The new center will open on October 1, 2010 and is equipped with workstations to accommodate up to 25 customer service representatives per shift. This support center will be linked to the Franklin center via high speed fiber provided by Blue Ridge Mountain EMC. This will allow Drake to handle both voice and data traffic in a seamless environment. Simply put, those representatives who work in Hayesville have the same benefits and resources as those in Franklin, thanks to BRMEMC and BalsamWest. Drake Software currently has 315 employees with 160 of those positions in customer service. “It is a great day in Clay County when we can leverage technology that will enable economic growth and provide jobs,” said Alan Keling, Vice President of Customer Service at Drake Software.
