Turkcell (News - Alert) Global Bilgi, Turkcell's (NYSE:TKC)(BIST:TCELL) fully-owned subsidiary, was recognized as the global "Top Ranking Performer" in two categories by ContactCenterWorld.com. In the global awards ceremony held in Las Vegas, United States, Turkcell Global Bilgi received the top award in "Best use of Self-service Technology" category with its full speech IVR solution which enables the customer to communicate interactively with the system just by speaking. The second award came in the ""Best Home / Remote Agent Program" category.
