J.D. Power and Associates, which recently gave Verizon Business a leading ranking for customer satisfaction among large-enterprise data service customers, has now ranked Verizon Business highest in overall customer satisfaction among large-enterprise voice services providers.
Respondents to J.D. Power and Associates' 2009 Major Provider Business Telecommunications Study - Voice ServicesSM determined that Verizon Business sets the benchmark for five of the six factors used to measure customer satisfaction: performance and reliability, sales representatives/account executives, billing, cost of service, and offerings and promotions. Verizon Business' overall score of 684 on a scale of 1,000 was 22 points higher than the large-enterprise segment average score, and the company ranked particularly high in both the offerings and promotions and billing factors.
"This back-to-back J.D. Power and Associates recognition is a testament to our employees," said Fran Shammo, president of Verizon Business. "Multinational companies worldwide rely on our leading-edge voice-over-IP and contact center solutions as essential engines for their businesses. Our network engineers, product development teams and world-class account service professionals work together day in and day out to deliver the high-quality experience our customers have come to expect from Verizon Business.
"We are proud to have built a strong global brand that businesses associate with thorough and responsive account management, and we will continue to work to earn their trust and their business," Shammo said.
