Support Standard

The Service Capability & Performance (SCP) Standards provide a framework for service improvement and help to enhance the capabilities and performance of service operations, while guiding their ongoing development. The SCP Support Standard defines 12 major criteria required to operate a successful support operation. These criteria are broken down into detailed business elements, each with specific measurable results. The outcome is a framework representing over 100 major service factors used to determine the overall effectiveness of a support operation.

The SCP Standards represent the broad scope of business practices necessary to deliver the highest quality service and support. Companies that execute well in all of these areas will ensure they are maximizing their capabilities and have optimized business processes to drive higher levels of operational performance, customer satisfaction and loyalty.

The SCP Support Standard provides clear guidelines that enable organizations to:

  • Increase customer satisfaction and loyalty by improving operational effectiveness and staff productivity
  • Implement a continuous improvement program to achieve and maintain world-class levels of performance
  • Benchmark operations against best in class organizations and best practices to further enhance performance

Leveraging SCP Standards helps to improve the capability and performance of service operations, while letting customers know that the company is committed to excellence and willing to adhere to global standards.

An organization can attain certification against the standards through successfully completing a certification audit. Certified organizations must demonstrate their continued commitment to high performance standards through annual re-certification.
