Wind River Achieves Support Center Practices Certification for Second Consecutive Year
"By passing the rigorous requirements necessary to achieve SCP Certification, Wind River has made it clear they are committed to delivering world-class support to their customers," said Gordy Stauffer, SCP Auditor. "During the SCP audit, Wind River demonstrated a clear commitment to customer satisfaction and continuous improvement."
SCP Certification, the internationally recognized standard created by a consortium of leading technology companies, and Service Strategies Corporation define best practices for delivering world-class technology support. The program quantifies the effectiveness of customer support, establishes a foundation to build on existing quality processes, and provides a clear focus on measurable results. SCP certified companies must prove that they have the processes in place to provide a fast and repeatable support experience with a high degree of satisfaction
Companies are measured on 125 different criteria, across 12 categories, including Customer Feedback, Services Delivery and Performance Metrics. Audit criteria changes and becomes more stringent each year, requiring companies to pass annual on-site audits to retain their certification status.
"Being SCP certified for the second year in a row is testament to Wind River's continued commitment to customer satisfaction. Since our first audit, we have seen our customer satisfaction level jump from 65% to 90%. This further validates Wind River's world-class support services and keeps us aligned with industry best practices," said Jim Jones, Director of Customer Support. "The re-certification process is critical in encouraging companies to constantly improve upon the level of services they offer, and speaks to the benefits our customers have when working with Wind River."
Wind River joins a prominent roster of companies that have achieved the sought-after SCP Certification, including EMC, Lockheed Martin, McKesson, Network Appliance, Nokia and Rockwell Automation.
