Lance Hale, President, Transparent BPO

Lance Hale, President, Transparent BPO

The most important thing to me at this stage of my career is to work for a CEO and company with a high level of integrity that truly cares for its clients and employees. I have found that at Transparent BPO.


ROCKVILLE, Md. (PRWEB)

Transparent BPO, a nearshore contact center and business process outsourcer, today announced the hiring of Lance Hale as President to support the company’s aggressive growth plans.

“Our vision and growth plans have matured, and our new goal is to continue to be the industry leader in Belize but also become a global brand that ranks among the contact center industry’s best year after year,” said Scott Newman, Transparent BPO founder and CEO regarding the hiring. “With the change, we needed the requisite expertise to drive the strategy forward, which is why I’m very excited to welcome Lance Hale, a highly-regarded industry leader, to serve as President, a new office for the company.”

Hale comes to the position with an extensive resume spanning three decades in the contact center industry. During that time, he rose through the ranks, from customer service manager early in his career to, most recently, president of operations for one of the largest BPO firms in the world. While there, Hale oversaw 88 contact centers, 50,000 employees, and hundreds of clients. In his first year, he grew the company’s worldwide footprint by more than 15 percent through organic growth from existing clients and bringing on new logos.

“Lance achieved a lot of his success by instituting repeatable standard operating procedures for every level and function in the contact centers, developing teams, and establishing an excellent culture at each operational site,” Newman said. “And though he brings decades of high-level leadership experience and a proven track record to our company, what really set Lance apart for me was his pure passion for this space and tremendous work ethic.”

As President, Hale will have overall responsibility for Transparent BPO’s operations. He will also focus on solidifying and innovating existing business operations to produce consistent results and look for growth opportunities, organically and through acquisition, to make Transparent BPO a recognized global player.

“I am truly excited about taking on this new role at Transparent BPO,” Hale said. “The most important thing to me at this stage of my career is to work for a CEO and company with a high level of integrity that truly cares for its clients and employees. I have found that at Transparent BPO.”

“Larger BPOs are straddled with sites in locations they don’t want and cannot get rid of due to acquisitions and strategies that were created many years ago,” he added. “So, in addition to streamlining processes to increase efficiency, I am looking forward to growing Transparent BPO in new geographies and locations best-suited to the needs of our existing and future clients.”

About Transparent BPO

Transparent BPO was founded in 2009 to provide its clients with superior call center services and business process outsourcing at competitive pricing. As one of the fastest-growing countries in Central America, Belize is Transparent’s ideal location for its contact center operations.

Belize offers an educated English-speaking population, reliable telecommunications, and an overall friendly environment. With Spanish being the second language of Belize, Transparent BPO can provide highly qualified bi-lingual agents. Also, Transparent’s state-of-the-art call center system development and IT support allow for seamless integration, resulting in a transparent business relationship.

Reserve Files Opening Brief with Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals

Leave a comment



HOUSTON (PRWEB)

Capstone announced that The Feldman Law Firm LLP and Foley Gardere have filed the opening brief with the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals on behalf of Appellant Reserve Mechanical Corp. (Case Number 18-9011). Reserve is a client of Capstone.

The Appeals brief challenges the U.S. Tax Court’s rulings in the well-publicized Reserve captive insurance case, identifying the specific ways in which the Tax Court erred in its adverse Opinion issued in June 2018.

In its opinion, the Tax Court concluded that Reserve’s transactions did not constitute insurance for federal income tax purposes. The Tax Court erroneously held that Reserve’s insurance arrangements did not meet two of the four necessary insurance criteria, concluding that Reserve failed to satisfy adequate risk distribution and that Reserve’s arrangement with its affiliated company (Peak Mechanical & Components, Inc.) was not “insurance in the commonly accepted sense.”

Reserve’s opening brief explains that Reserve satisfied the risk distribution test by receiving more than 30% of its gross premiums from reinsuring pooled and blended risks of more than 150 insureds under more than 500 direct-written policies, issued by PoolRe Insurance Corp.

The brief states: “Reserve’s direct-written policies provided real insurance: when Peak suffered a covered loss and made a claim, Reserve paid. Reserve’s risk distributing arrangements imposed real contractual rights and obligations. If Peak suffered a large covered loss, a substantial portion of the loss over a predetermined amount would be borne by the fifty-plus insurers participating in the risk pool. By the same token, if one of those insurers responded to a large loss, Reserve would also be called upon to pay its proportionate share of the loss.”

Additionally, the Tax Court employed legal reasoning that was contradictory to decades of existing caselaw. As well, the Tax Court went outside the record in making findings that were not supported by the evidence at trial.

The Tenth Circuit’s decision in the Reserve appeal is expected to carry enormous implications for the captive insurance industry.

Capstone has previously released a number of commentaries that further explain the Reserve case which can be found at https://www.capstoneassociated.com/press/reserve-mechanical-corp-v-commissioner-internal-revenue/

The Reserve court filings and the briefing can be found at https://www.Reserve-casualty-corp.com/.

Capstone has successfully resolved with no change over 57 captive tax matters over the last two decades. Now in its 22nd year, Capstone continues to serve clients in the alternative risk planning market in a wide range of industries and throughout the United States.

Please contact The Feldman Law Firm LLP ‘s Logan Gremillion or Stewart Feldman at 1.713.850.0700 or Capstone’s Jeff Carlson at 1.800.500.3190 with any questions.

Verbit Announces Strategic Partnership with STTI, Verbit CEO to Join Board of Directors

Leave a comment


Our joint efforts will continue to drive the legal industry forward into the digital era and will further our commitment to building meaningful partnerships with court reporters.


NEW YORK (PRWEB)

Verbit, the leading AI-powered transcription platform, today announced a strategic partnership with the Speech to Text Institute (STTI), a non-profit organization composed of businesses and practitioners from across the speech-to-text industry. Verbit’s CEO and co-founder, Tom Livne, will also join STTI’s board of directors. This collaboration will advance the two companies’ missions to innovate the court reporting industry and drive transformation in legal technology.

“I am pleased to join STTI’s board of directors,” said Tom Livne. “Our joint efforts will continue to drive the legal industry forward into the digital era and will further our commitment to building meaningful partnerships with court reporters.”

Jim Cudahy, STTI’s executive director, notes that the legal industry is changing rapidly and that it is incumbent upon its leaders to engage in constructive dialogue and collaboration to ensure this change occurs in alignment with what is best for the legal system.

“We are pleased to have Verbit join STTI as a member company, and we look forward to making use of its deep expertise to educate the community about the capabilities and application of Automatic Speech Recognition in legal,” Cudahy said.

It’s estimated that there is a shortage of approximately 5,500 court reporters in the U.S. Based on data from the AAERT, court reporting companies that adopt digital tools are expected to save nearly $250,000 USD over the next decade.

Verbit recognized these market changes early on and is supporting the evolution of the market to make legal disruption smoother for the numerous organizations that can benefit. Most courts are digital and laws support the move to digital in depositions as well as other off-court use cases in all U.S. states. As such, Verbit continues to support the work of the AAERT, as well as other organizations entering the market to account for this disruption. Verbit also sees similar legal transitions to digital occurring throughout Europe.

“Technology will never replace court reporters, but it will make their jobs more efficient, help their agencies scale and increase the chances of fair legal processes for clients,” Livne said. “When AI is applied to legal transcription, it revolutionizes the profession of court reporting. Skilled individuals who are experts in the many different technologies used in the modern courtroom will be in high demand going forward.”

With the help of machine learning, Verbit is able to provide cost-efficient transcripts quickly while also utilizing certified human professional editors to check its technology for guaranteed accuracy. With Verbit, court reporting companies receive an accurate, workable transcript within days, which is virtually unheard of in the industry and represents a significant breakthrough.
