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

HDI Support Center Certification

QAD:  First HDI Global Support Center Certification!

"Phase 1" of HDI Global Support Center Certification was completed in March 2004, with certification achieved for the Mt. Laurel, Sydney and Barcelona Support Centers. "Phase 2", consisting of audits for the UK, Netherlands, Hong Kong and Mexico Support Centers, engaged in February 2004, and completed in June 2004. With the conclusion of Phase 2, QAD has achieved the first truly Global HDI Support Center Certification! 

"It has been a delight working with HDI and Optimal Connections. Paul Dooley, Optimal’s HDI certified Auditor, has been there every step of the way ... advising on needed improvements in the areas of communication, employee and customer satisfaction management, and metrics."  Dan Pasquerilla - Manager, Programs Office, Global Learning and Support Services, QAD
