April 24, 2003 -- Invensys announced that the company's Customer Satisfaction Center in Foxboro, Mass., and Technical Assistance Center in Lake Forest, Calif., have achieved certification under the stringent Support Center Practices (SCP) Certification program.
The Foxboro center provides first-line support for Avantis, Eurotherm, Foxboro, I/A Series, SimSci-Esscor, and Triconex customers. The Lake Forest center supports Wonderware customers.
"Invensys is committed to continuously improving customer satisfaction levels throughout the organization. This certification for both the Foxboro and Lake Forest support centers helps to demonstrate the tangible investments Invensys has made in world-class technical support, which is a cornerstone for customer satisfaction," commented Leo Quinn, chief operating officer of the Production Management division of Invensys.
SCP Certification, an internationally recognized standard created with the Service & Support Professionals Association (SSPA) and a consortium of technology companies, defines best practices for delivering world-class technical 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 Certification requires comprehensive on-site audits to confirm that companies meet the requirements of more than 100 business elements defined in the program. Certified organizations must demonstrate their continued commitment to high performance standards through annual re-certification audits.
