IDION Technology Holdings` subsidiary Vision Solutions, the industry standard in eServer High Availability, recently announced that its CustomerCare Support Centre received the prestigious Support Centre Practices (SCP) Industry Best Practices Certification.
Vision is the only iSeries high availability provider to have such certification and is included among a very elite group of 200 companies worldwide to pass such rigorous testing and audits for services and support.
"This certification is very meaningful to us and recognises the hard work and customer-centric thinking from the entire team at Vision," said Pete Robie, Vice-President of CustomerCare for Vision Solutions. "It also cements in the market what we`ve known for years, that Vision Solutions offers real world-class customer service and support in the High Availability marketplace."
The SCP certification is an internationally recognised standard created with the Service & Support Professionals Association (SSPA), a consortium of leading technology companies. It defines best practices for delivering world-class technology support and is achieved only by the top technology companies in the world.
Certification 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 the more than 100 business elements defined in the program. Certified organisations must demonstrate their continued commitment to high performance standards through annual re-certification audits.
"I am very pleased with this recognition from such a prestigious organisation and for the incredible diligence demonstrated every day by our CustomerCare team," said Alan Arnold, President and COO of Vision Solutions.
"This certification removes the rhetoric from the market and proves that our customers can be assured of receiving the industry`s best when dealing with Vision, including consistent and dependable support, faster response and accurate, timely resolution to questions and issues. No other High Availability vendor can substantiate these claims."
