About the Company:

In 1977, John H. Sykes founded Sykes Enterprises, Incorporated. While engineering services were the firm’s initial offering, at the core of the company was a passion for providing clients with the best service possible while giving back to the community. Today, this drive to serve others remains part of our DNA, and we believe it is integral to our company’s success.

Taking Our Service Virtue Global

Setting out on a new course, in 1992, SYKES acquired a small company in Sterling, Colorado. With the acquisition of Jones Technologies, Inc. SYKES entered into the arena of inbound customer support. Having built a solid foundation with its existing clients, SYKES soon became very successful in outsourced customer care.

In 1996, SYKES went public and began trading on NASDAQ. This allowed SYKES to grow globally. While SYKES already had an international presence with the opening of its Amsterdam site in 1994, several other acquisitions expanded its European footprint from 1996-1997. These acquisitions include Datasvar Support AB of Sweden; Telcare of Germany, McQueen International Limited and more. SYKES also entered a joint venture with HealthPlan Services Corporate – forming a new venture called SYKES HealthPlan Services – which took the company to Canada. Within the next few years, acquisitions and the opening of new customer support centers would cement SYKES’ presence in Latin America.

In 2010, SYKES undertook the most significant acquisition of its 33-year history – the acquisition of ICT Group, Inc. Today, SYKES has 43,000+ employees located in more than 80 centers throughout 24 countries.

Defining Our Success

Headquartered in Tampa, Florida, SYKES excels in delivering inbound customer support for our Fortune 1000 client-companies around the world. Providing customer care services primarily in the Communications, Financial Services, Healthcare, Technology, Transportation and Leisure industries. Our customer service agents serve thousands of customers a day – via multiple channels – and have been recognized for their service excellence. Subsequently, we’re proud to have received such awards as SSPA STAR Hall of Fame (Software Support Professionals Association), Service Leader Award (CRM Magazine) and Top 100 Most Trustworthy Companies in America (Audit Integrity). We’ve also been recognized for our innovation with such awards as the Recognized Innovator Award (Technology Services Industry Association – formerly SSPA) and 2011 Product of the Year (Customer Interaction Solution Magazine) for its Online Support Communities solution.

Since 1977, SYKES has held firm to our steadfast client commitments and our passion for providing excellent service. And, while our industry recognitions and steady growth have provided us our true measure of success lies in holding true to our core principles of providing client value and service excellence.
