Malcolm Sr. invests in the 1-A Console Switchboard and Concentrator Identifier. This allows for a centralized office space and streamlined call handling. The investment in this technology, though huge at the time, positioned King's well ahead of the competition and set the standard for our dedication to call center innovation today.
