Sun, October 25, 2009 Aruba Networks' Customer Advocacy Group Wins STAR Award for Service Excellence From the Technology Services Industry Associatio
SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - October 26, 2009) - Aruba Networks, Inc. (
The Service Excellence in Continual Improvement award is presented to a company that has demonstrated exceptional service levels and customer satisfaction for three or more years, with year-over-year improvements and a plan in place for continual improvement in the future. Since its inception in 1990, the prestigious STAR Awards have recognized technology companies that display exceptional leadership, innovation, and commitment in service excellence.
"The STAR Awards are recognized throughout the industry as one of the highest honors for service and support organizations," said Stephen Smith, CFO and CIO for TSIA. "This award acknowledges that Aruba Networks has been honored by its peers for providing world-class support as one of the best in the business."
The Continual Improvement category judges applicants on seven criteria:
-- Customer support center responsiveness; -- Web self-service/knowledge base; -- Product supportability; -- Proactive service offerings; -- Service quality improvement programs; -- Customer impact; -- Business impact.
Continual improvement must be demonstrated over a 2-3 year period, and customer satisfaction statistics must be provided for six quarters.
"At Aruba our culture is defined by the phrase 'Customer First, Customer Last,' and continuous improvement is essential to exceeding customer expectations," said Jagdeep Singh, Aruba's Head of Customer Advocacy. "The drivers of our continuous improvement processes are our world class teams, technology expertise, and strictly enforced best practices and procedures. Our overall performance against expectations has improved 33% over a 3 year period, and 90% of customers surveyed were satisfied with our service and support. This contrasts with a 77% rating for our peers, and a 78% rating for the industry as a whole. By any measure we are delivering best-in-class support, an achievement recognized by the STAR Award."
