Press Release: CTG Achieves AWS Service Delivery Designation for Amazon Connect

BUFFALO, N.Y., February 1, 2023—CTG (Nasdaq: CTG) ("Company"), a leading provider of digital IT solutions and services that drive clients' productivity and profitability in North America and Western Europe, announced today it has achieved the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Service Delivery designation for Amazon Connect.

Achieving the AWS Service Delivery designation for Amazon Connect, a cloud-based contact center service, differentiates CTG as an AWS Partner Network (APN) member that provides specialized technical proficiency, proven customer experience, and success in delivering Amazon Connect. To receive the designation, APN partners must possess deep experience and the capabilities to deliver solutions seamlessly on AWS.

"This recognition further validates CTG's success in helping our clients build contact center programs that help deliver greater efficiencies and improved customer experience—both critical in today's highly competitive markets," said Tom Niehaus, CTG Executive Vice President, Americas. "This new designation is a testament to CTG's proven technical knowledge, experience, and success with Amazon Connect."

CTG was required to pass a rigorous evaluation to ensure Amazon Connect best practices were being followed, including:

• Conducting a live technical demonstration on scenarios provided by AWS
• Presenting real-world CTG client return on investment and improvements in areas such as the customer experience or contact center agent productivity
• Demonstrating ample use of Amazon Connect across CTG clients

As an AWS Select Tier Services Partner, CTG brings extensive experience using an array of AWS services in conjunction with Amazon Connect to deliver vital functions in support of client contact centers, such as:

• Serverless provisioning (AWS Lambda)
• Application integration (Amazon API Gateway)
• Identity management (Amazon Cognito)
• Content delivery (Amazon CloudFront)
• Cloud storage (Amazon Simple Storage Service)
• Data streaming (Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose)
• Conversational artificial intelligence (Amazon Lex)

"It’s an honor for our company to receive this designation, which extends CTG’s reputation as a leading provider of digital transformation solutions and services,” said Filip Gydé, CTG President and Chief Executive Officer. “I’m especially proud of our accomplishments at Gundersen Health System (Gundersen), where we used Amazon Connect to improve their patient portal phone support by accelerating the resolution of user issues and streamlining the provision of personal health information for the patient population. As a result, Gunderson’s patient portal user satisfaction and engagement has increased, and the time needed to train patient support agents on the phone system has decreased by 75%.”
