C. Malcolm Riggle, Sr.
The Big Bang - 1959

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.

At the age of 18, Malcolm Riggle Jr. succeeds his father as President and Chief Executive Officer. Malcolm continues to innovate, create new service lines and set the pace for measured, consistent, service-focused growth at Call Management Resources today.

Computers are installed at switchboard stations, an unprecedented move in the industry at the time. This allowed our agents to reduce time on the phone and efficiently take more calls.

All analog switchboards are replaced with digital, computerized call-answering equipment and software. This allowed us to track data, route calls faster and improve service levels.
