"Chicago is a vibrant CRM market which is quite diversified," Schuster said. "It encompasses call centers, consumer products, healthcare, high tech and financial services -- all areas of strength for Akibia."
In addition to its headquarters and new Windy City office, the privately held firm has operations in New York, San Francisco, London and Amsterdam. It employs about 450 people.
