Under the five-year order, HP will provide Customer Engagement Management Services for the USCIS National Customer Service Center.

HP will be recruiting, hiring, training, and managing a team of over 200 contact center professionals in multiple locations. All contacts made via the call center will be managed using Microsoft Dynamics CRM. HP expects to field more than 150,000 calls per month.
