The Belfast company, which has sales offices in London, Boston and Hong Kong, will get a share of the CRM deal after it was announced they will provide their Visibility product to Vertex, one of the UK’s leading outsourcing companies specialising in customer management.

The Visibility product is to be used to handle customer email communication for energy retailer TXU.
