"We worked for a year to achieve this certification, refining our processes with each BenchmarkPortal evaluation," said Jamie Post Candee, President and CEO of Questar Assessment Inc. "Our customer service center demonstrated grace and grit under the intense scrutiny required to measure up to BenchmarkPortal's requirements, and I speak for everyone at Questar when I say that we all take great pride in this accomplishment."  

Questar Assessment received this certification by meeting or surpassing rigorous standards. The BenchmarkPortal team audited and verified Questar's contact center's key performance indicators, and judged them against a balanced scorecard of metrics for efficiency and effectiveness. This strictly "by the numbers" assessment, ensures that only call centers demonstrating superior performance on both cost-related and quality-related metrics compared with their industry peers earn the Center of Excellence certification. This differs from other types of contact center certifications that typically focus on less results oriented measures, such as process handling methods and procedures.

"The certification of Questar Assessment is a direct result of its leadership's commitment to balancing cost-effective service solutions with best-in-class service performance. It is an achievement of distinction," said Bruch Belfiore, CEO of BenchmarkPortal.
