June 10, 2010 - PRLog -- APRIL 2010 BenchmarkPortal today announced that EyeMed Vision Care has been certified a Center of Excellence by BenchmarkPortal in collaboration with the Center for Customer-Driven Quality at Purdue University. The Center of Excellence recognition is one of the most prestigious awards in the Service and Support industry. Thus placing its operation in the top 10 percent of more than 20,000 centers based on customer satisfaction and overall operational excellence.

“On an objective, metrics-driven basis, EyeMed’s center is clearly one of the best in the industry,” said Bruce Belfiore, BenchmarkPortal CEO. Call Centers achieve the Center of Excellence distinction based on a best-practice metrics drawn from the world’s largest database of objective and quantitative data that is audited and validated by researchers from the BenchmarkPortal in conjunction with the Center for Customer-Driven Quality at Purdue University.

According to Liz DiGiandomenico, President and General Manager of EyeMed Vision Care, “EyeMed’s customer care center has always been an important conduit between EyeMed and the member and provider. BenchmarkPortal’s “Center of Excellence” designation recognizes the commitment and passion that our customer care center management and service representatives have when it comes to supporting the administration of our vision care programs on behalf of our constituents.”

Since companies spend vast amounts of money implementing and operating call centers to ensure a competitive edge in customer service, it is vital that the call handling process be conducted at best practice standards. This need to function at best practice levels has, in turn, created the need for third-party certification that shows when call centers are operating at this high level of call handling performance.
