ACCENT-Ventures

What ACCENT-Ventures does

ACCENT-Ventures is a privately-held business services holding company headquartered in Orlando, Florida, that operates two wholly-owned subsidiaries — ACCENT Strategic Partners (executive and strategic consulting) and SMART Customer Solutions (contact center and BPO services) — alongside a dedicated Warranty Services line. Its underlying technology centers on a PCI-compliant, cloud-based contact center platform that supports inbound and outbound voice, online messaging, direct mail, and a Lead Database Management System for B2B and B2C demand generation.

SMART Customer Solutions delivers the operational backbone, running four contact centers in Mesa (Arizona), Ocala (Florida), Hermosillo (Mexico), and Port of Spain (Trinidad and Tobago), and provides BPO, customer service, direct response sales, technical support, appointment setting, and reservation services. ACCENT Strategic Partners complements this with advisory work in customer targeting, sales and marketing channel build-out, technology partnerships, and brand vision development, while the Warranty Services line administers end-to-end warranty programs including claims processing, service contract underwriting, and supplier recovery.

The company generates revenue through managed-services contracts (contact center/BPO and warranty administration) and professional-services engagements (consulting via ACCENT Strategic Partners), priced on a custom quote basis. It pursues a sales-led, multi-channel go-to-market targeting enterprise and mid-market clients in wireless/telecom, healthcare, insurance, hospitality, government, and contact-center verticals, with historical logo references to GE, Apple, Hilton Grand Vacations, Cellular One, and SunState Technologies. Leadership is founder-controlled under President & CEO Tom Hansen (27+ years, $3.9B aggregate billings across prior ventures), with CFO Michael Gaskin, VP Thomas Myers (Technical Emmy, video collaboration patents), and VP Mark Kennedy (25-year contact center veteran) rounding out an experienced operating team.
