Outsourcing and consulting company Unisys today announced it has been chosen to provide call center services for CANTV, the national phone company of Venezuela.

"Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced that it has signed a contract extension to manage call center services for Compañía Anoníma Nacional Telefonos de Venezuela (CANTV). Under the contract extension, signed in the second quarter of 2005 and with a value estimated at approximately $12 million over two years, Unisys will continue to provide services ranging from operator assistance to customer service."

Congratulations to Unisys, but my guess is the company won't be donating any money to charities headed by Pat Robertson this year: http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/08/23/robertson.chavez/index.html
