Certification Recognizes CompuCom for Delivering Highest Quality Service

DALLAS -- CompuCom Systems, Inc., a leading IT outsourcing company, today announced that its award-winning Service Desk offering has achieved certification under the prestigious Service Capability & Performance (SCP) Standards for the eleventh consecutive year. CompuCom achieved certification after an extensive audit of its Service Desk operations in 2008. Representing best practices in the industry, SCP Standards quantify the effectiveness of client services based upon a stringent set of performance standards.

"As clients demand world-class service, on-going service satisfaction measurement and performance benchmarking with industry-standard programs such as SCP, are critical to our success and serve as a framework for continuous improvement," said Meg Frantz, Vice President of CompuCom's Service Desk operation. "Achieving certification for the eleventh consecutive year underscores CompuCom's commitment to sustaining the highest levels of performance and delivering maximum value to its clients."

The SCP Support Standard, under which CompuCom was certified, is part of a suite of service capability and performance standards designed to improve the quality and effectiveness of technology service operations. A consortium of leading technology companies and Service Strategies Corporation, created the internationally recognized standards, which define best practices for delivering world-class technology service and support, quantify performance levels and establish a framework for continuous improvement. Certified companies must continue to demonstrate their commitment to excellence and high performance standards through annual certification audits.

"By passing the rigorous requirements necessary to achieve certification under the SCP Standards, CompuCom continues to make it clear they are committed to delivering world-class service to their clients," said Derek Nash, SCP Auditor. "During the SCP audit, CompuCom demonstrated a clear commitment to customer satisfaction and continuous improvement."

CompuCom joins the ranks of other leading technology companies that have achieved the prestigious and sought-after certification, including EMC Corporation, Lockheed Martin Incorporated, GE Healthcare, McKesson Corporation, Nokia and NetApp, among others. Currently, more than 200 technology service and support organizations around the world participate in the SCP Standards program. CompuCom is one of two companies that have successfully achieved certification for 11 consecutive years.
