Service Capability & Performance Standards

The Global Benchmark for Service Excellence

Developed by Service Strategies, in cooperation with approximately 50 leading service and support organizations from around the world, the Service Capability & Performance Standards have enhanced the capabilities and performance of service and support operations worldwide since 1998.

SCP Standards provide more than a simple quality program. They establish a community of companies committed to delivering exceptional service and support. The customer service standards, which address the four distinct disciplines of support, eService, field service and professional services, provide the framework for measuring performance, implementing best practices, and leveraging a network of professionals actively engaged in enhancing the quality of their service and support operations.

Adopted by service and support organizations around the world, the Service Capability & Performance Standards provide the global benchmark of service excellence. Companies can achieve certification by undergoing a comprehensive audit of service operations to confirm that they meet the business requirements defined by the standards. Certified organizations must demonstrate their performance and commitment through annual re-certification.
