Overall, 96% of Avaya's field service customers and 91% of support services customers reported that their experience with the company's support services exceeded expectations, according to the report prepared by Omega's independent auditors. The scores reflect the results of ongoing efforts aimed at continuous improvement of Avaya field and support services. In 2014, improvements included a full revamp of the services website to add faster, more personalized service through interactive, two-way video and web chat, rapid escalation capabilities and overall simplification, all backed by support specialized training and an emphasis on collaboration across disciplines. These efforts helped drive the steady increase in customer satisfaction evident in the NorthFace ScoreBoard Award as well as Avaya's 2014 rolling average NPS score of 50 -- considered best in class for peer technology companies.
"The NorthFace ScoreBoard Award recognizes organizations who not only offer exemplary customer service, but who also center their existence on a deep commitment to exceeding customer expectations," said John Alexander Maraganis, president & CEO of Omega. "In 2014, more than 250 projects, many international in scope, were judged from scores of companies based in the U.S. and abroad. The majority of companies are repeat recipients, which shows that, despite the tough economy, implementing a CEM strategy is a reliable, proven way to achieve business success."
