Support Center Assessments
QAD: Support Center
Assessment
Optimal Connections provided QAD with our
Support Center Assessment service, enabling them to evaluate how closely
their eight global support centers were to meeting
HDI Support
Center Certification standards. The support center assessment was
fast, cost-effective, and thorough. QAD global support received a comprehensive
report that presented the results, including an executive summary, an assessment
of how each of the centers did in terms of HDI’s SCC model, and recommended
focus areas for each center. A detailed action plan was provided, with specific
recommendations on how to address issues and prepare for future certification.
"I was impressed with the cost-effectiveness of the online
support center assessment. We were able to identify several areas where we
exceeded HDI standards, and some where we need to focus our efforts. Well worth
the investment." Dan Pasquerilla
-
Manager, Programs Office,
Global Learning and Support Services, QAD.
