Zagada Institute, the company's research publishing arm projects in its Central American Report 2007 that Central America agent density will reach 40,000 by the end of 2007. Guatemala is categorized as part of the "contending segment" and Transactel is the leading local supplier in that market.

Our Sphaero Alliance brand is designed to identify and select local providers of superlative service quality - which we define as Metacare ™ - to help accelerate corporate buyers with their selection process," said Phillip Peters, Zagada's CEO. "Transactel secures strong client testimonial reviews, operational excellence and more importantly receives solid scores and ratings based on our proprietary methodology.
