West Corporation Acquires Ambassador

West Corporation, a global leader in technology-enabled services, announced it has acquired ZFERRAL, d.b.a. Ambassador, a cloud-based relationship marketing platform.

Ambassador empowers organizations to increase customers, referrals, and revenue by leveraging the power of word-of-mouth.
