COPC
COPC（Customer Operations Performance Center Inc.）是國際客戶服務標準化認證機構，總部設在美國 Austin, Texas。該組織為全球客服行業(yè)提供國際統(tǒng)一標準的呼叫中心從業(yè)人員培訓認證以及呼叫中心星級考核體系COPC-2000®標準。
COPC-2000®標準創(chuàng)建于1995年，該標準為Microsoft, Motorola, Dell, American Express, L.L. Bean 以及其他關注客戶服務的公司及組織共同完成。經過數(shù)次修訂完善，COPC-2000®標準為呼叫中心行業(yè)（包括外包）提供了最具權威的指導，已經被公認為呼叫中心實現(xiàn)最佳表現(xiàn)的最有效的工具。已經采用COPC-2000®標準的公司遍布全球五大洲十八個國家，其中著名的公司有Adobe, AT&T, BellSouth, Buy.Com, Compaq, Corel, Dell, Epson, Iomega,Microsoft, Oracle, 3Com, Sun MicroSystems, Texas Instruments, Toshiba，AT&T, Aspect, Baxter Healthcare, Banco Galicia, Bell Canada, Blue Cross Blue Shield(several), CityCabSingapore, Dell, How2.Com, IBM, KellySevrices, L.L.Bean, Lucent, Motorla, Niagara Mohawk power, Prudential, Suap-on Tools，AFFINA, BellSystem24, Bell Nexxia, ClientLogic, Convergys, Data Com, EDS, Infotel, Keane, NTT, PRC, Sofftware Spectrum, Stream, Sykes, Singapore Telecom, TSR, Young America, Zomax等。
COPC-2000®標準的最初著眼點在于為客戶服務質量進行全過程的指標界定，以保持高水平的客戶服務和持續(xù)的客戶滿意度。隨著不斷的發(fā)展，COPC-2000®標準不僅提供了具體的表現(xiàn)考評指標，而且結合客戶滿意度維系的關鍵所在，通過考評模塊的跟蹤，不斷提高呼叫中心整體表現(xiàn)。僅僅在通過COPC-2000®正式認證的兩個月間，BCBS呼叫中心的呼入電話平均處理時間下降了約30%，而服務質量卻大幅提高，呼叫中心取得了驕人的成績。而TSR公司同樣是COPC-2000®標準的受益者之一，研究數(shù)據表明，通過實施COPC-2000®標準，TSR整體客戶滿意度從50%攀升到93%的同時，運營成本卻大幅度下降。
眾多的呼叫中心通過采用COPC-2000®標準而達到了認證標準，從而獲得COPC的星級認證。而相當數(shù)量的企業(yè)，盡管尚未達到最終認證的要求，仍然采用COPC-2000®標準作為呼叫中心運營和服務質量的考評指導。
作為在中國推動客服行業(yè)標準化的重要步驟，COPC在2002年2月與太維資訊建立了合作伙伴關系，共同推進中國客戶服務產業(yè)的發(fā)展。

Introduction to COPC and the Need for a World-Class Performance
Improvement Standard for the Customer Contact Industry
Outline of the speech by Elizabeth Prakasam
COPC helps customer contact centres maximise their performance by increasing speed and accuracy of service delivery while keeping costs down. By benchmarking these centres’ practices against the COPC-2000® Standard, COPC will be able to identify areas where there are gaps and recommend solutions necessary to achieve the objectives of productivity, efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
COPC has performed more than 400 audits worldwide. Since its introduction into Asia nearly three years ago, COPC has more than 50 users of the COPC-2000® Standard in this region. MNCs that have embraced the COPC-2000® Standard include American Express, Apple, IBM, Microsoft and Motorola.
Elizabeth will share with the audience some of the findings from these audits; and why there is a compelling need for contact centres to use a Standard as a management system in order for them to reach world-class standards.
Headquartered in Austin, Texas and Amherst, New York, COPC is the leading authority on customer intensive operations, as typified by customer contact centres and fulfilment services. COPC is authorized to issue certification to the COPC-2000® Standard, a comprehensive operations performance standard that specifies minimum operational requirements in critical functional areas. COPC services clients on a worldwide basis and has representatives in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Singapore, India, Japan, United Kingdom and the United States.
The COPC-2000® Standard was developed in 1995/96 by individuals from Microsoft, Motorola, Dell, American Express, L.L. Bean and other customer-focused companies who were concerned with the level of service quality provided to customers by customer service provider organizations. More than 200 locations in 30 countries are using the Standard to improve performance. Users include firms in e-commerce, computer hardware and software, financial services, healthcare, telecommunications and consumer products.
