The Center of Excellence recognition can be considered one of the most prestigious awards in the customer service and support industry. Contact Centers achieve the Center of Excellence distinction based on best-practice metrics drawn from the world's largest database of objective and quantitative data that is audited and validated by researchers from BenchmarkPortal.
"Maintaining high levels of excellence in the center over a period of years is a wonderful testimony to the contact center management team, the frontline agents - as well as senior managers, who support and encourage this excellence. Canon's Customer Solution Center professionals have shown exceptional dedication and results, for which I commend them," said Bruce Belfiore, CEO, BenchmarkPortal. "The achievement of the Center of Excellence represents a contact center's commitment to delivering customer service that is both effective and efficient. It is the culmination of important initiatives that were undertaken to achieve sustainable service excellence."
Canon's Customer Solutions Center continues to deliver innovative service solutions to its vast network of direct and non-direct sales channels by introducing new technologies such as virtual presence to its field and engineering technicians to help further service and connect with its authorized dealers and customers – even in dispersed locations. This technology leverages augmented reality to allow Canon's Support Specialist experts to virtually reach out and touch what the field technician is working on through their mobile device, ultimately helping to improve device uptime through a more efficient, productive support experience.
"As our customers continue to navigate through the hybrid work environment, it is important they are equipped with high-quality service and support. To help meet this need, Canon's Customer Solutions Center continues to enhance its technology and remote operations," said Shinichi Yoshida, executive vice president and general manager, Canon U.S.A., Inc.
