About AnswerFirst

Answering services have been around since the invention of the telephone over a hundred years ago. While many prognosticators forecasted this type service would become unnecessary with the popularity of cellular phones, text messaging and newer technologies, answering services have become more prevalent than ever. There is an underlying core behind this concept, people like speaking with other people. If you are looking for a product or service, would you rather speak with a live person or leave a message in a voice mail? The vast majority of the public much prefer speaking with a live person, so it only follows businesses looking for a competitive edge would see this desire as a means to increase their bottom line.

AnswerFirst Communications, Inc. has been providing quality answering services since 1985. Our newest center was built from the ground up in 1999 specifically for AnswerFirst and this operations center provides a safe and comfortable environment for our CSR agents. Located along historic Kennedy Boulevard, the center is close to downtown Tampa. Tampa was chosen as the corporate site because of its growing demographics & centralized location in Florida. With its beautiful white beaches and wonderful climate, Tampa is a great place to live and work.

We believe the work environment plays a primary role in the health and happiness of our operators. Our workplace means more productive agents, not only for us, but more importantly, for our clients. Injury prevention training, ergonomically correct seating and state of the art workstations all add up to reduce the possibility of repetitive strain.

Weighing heavily in the design process of our new center was the desire to provide maximum security. Our commitment to protect the integrity and secrecy of our clients' data along with our desire to ensure the safety of our employees was paramount in selecting appropriate security measures. Twenty four hour camera monitoring, electronic key pad access and extensive password protection are just a few of the security measures we employ. Server redundancy, data archiving, the logging of all voice conversations, surge protection and emergency power generation are utilized as well to protect our client's data.

Our facility is also home to our state of the art computer and telephony hardware. Designed to blend our technological capabilities with our human resources, our center offers both an efficient and productive atmosphere. We're excited about our work environment and envision providing our quality telephone answering services to the public for the next 100 years and beyond.
