To receive the award a call center must place in the top 10% of all call centers included in the Purdue study (currently over 20,000 call centers). Certification means that efficiency and effectiveness metrics are fully optimized. Essential success criteria include operational efficiency, service level standards, process management, customer satisfaction, leadership, resources, and employee training. Dr. Jon Anton, Director of Research for BenchmarkPortal and the Center for Customer-Driven Quality, states that contact centers that achieve certification are remarkable in their ability to balance a commitment to service excellence with cost-effective service strategies. When asked about the achievement, Don Williams, President of Alliance Contact Services replied "We strive to provide the best possible service to our clients and in turn to their clients - to be recognized as a Certified Center of Excellence is an honor of which we are extremely proud".
