Amherst, NY (PRWEB) September 13, 2003 -

– As the first field service organization to implement the COPC-2000® certification process, NEC Fielding, the field service subsidiary of NEC Corporation, has demonstrated its commitment to consistent and exceptional customer service. The telecommunications and computer equipment giant began the certification process in July of 2002 and earned certification just 10 months later in May of 2003 at its contact centers located in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan.

NEC Fielding, Ltd., a member of NEC Group Companies, operates multi-site field service contact centers where in-bound calls required an improved speed of answer and higher diagnostic accuracy.

Katsuichi Tomita, President of NEC Fielding, clearly stated the importance of world-class service within NEC Corporation, “our customers will receive the highest quality field service on all NEC equipment – with quick response time and accurate processes”.

Peter Bloom, President and co-founder of COPC states, “with management’s total commitment, this certification process has raised the bar of the performance improvement process and is among the fastest implementations COPC has completed.”

NECÂ’s achievement is made even more remarkable when the additional challenges of a virtual structure are considered. The seamless interface between Osaka and Tokyo provide NEC Fielding customers with exceptional service. As a result of their certification, NEC has realized increased ROI and improved customer satisfaction.
