Ryan Achieves Prestigious International Customer Service Standard Certification; Validates Firm Commitment to World-Class Client Service

DALLAS, July 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Ryan, a leading global tax services firm with the largest indirect tax practice in North America, today announced that the Firm achieved the prestigious International Customer Service Standard (ICSS) certification from the Customer Service Institute of America (CSIA). This exclusive certification is the result of an extensive review of Ryan's customer service operations and quality management processes, and independently validates the Firm's culture of client service excellence.

The rigorous criteria of the ICSS was developed to provide a comprehensive and practical framework for assisting organizations in delivering consistently high levels of service, as well as aligning both passion and process in areas such as service, finance, operations, and learning and growth. Ryan earned ICSS certification as a first-time applicant for the designation – an accomplishment achieved by only 40 percent of ICSS candidates – and also recorded the highest certification score ever produced in an initial application by a North American organization. In achieving this exclusive certification, Ryan joins a select group of premier client service-oriented companies that include FedEx, Nokia, Canadian National Bank, and BYN Mellon's Pershing LLC.

"Ryan's ICSS certification, combined with their first place ranking in the medium business category of the 2010 International Service Excellence Awards and CEO and Managing Principal Brint Ryan's recognition as the 2010 Customer Service CEO of the Year clearly demonstrates the Firm's commitment to superior client service," said Christine Churchill, Executive Director Customer Service Institute of America.

"Although there are many factors that have contributed to our success, by far the most critical is our single-minded focus on and dedication to achieving the highest quality results for our clients," said G. Brint Ryan, CEO and Managing Principal of Ryan. "Our Firm is proud to have achieved this rigorous and prestigious certification, and we remain committed to delivering our clients the very best value, results, and client service possible."
