QTS Press Release

From: Quality Technology Solutions, Inc.
76 South Orange Avenue, Suite 302
South Orange, NJ 07079

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

February 12, 2001

QTS HAS BANNER YEAR FOR SERVICE IN 2000!

(South Orange, NJ) February 12, 2001 – QTS today announced a banner year for customer service last year.  According to Neil Rosenberg, President and CEO of QTS, QTS excelled in performance and customer satisfaction in all three major areas of measurement.  "We measure our business quarterly, with weekly checkpoints, in three "key indicators" for the performance of our technical service team," said Rosenberg.  Specifically, the staff is measured according to:

  • Customer Satisfaction - using Customer Satisfaction Surveys distributed to customers on each service visit
  • Customer Support Center Responsiveness - based on incidents entered into our help desk system and measuring start and close times against QTS' response goals
  • Project Management - ensuring all QTS projects are on schedule and within budget, based on scope control.

In the area of Customer Satisfaction, QTS had an exceptional year in 2000, and its best quarter yet in Q4.  In 2000, QTS averaged a score of 4.74 on a scale of 1-5 across 206 returned surveys, and in the Fourth Quarter QTS' score averaged 4.94 on 49 returned surveys.  "Our Q4 performance was extraordinary," said Rosenberg, "due to the service focus our team brings to working with our customers."  Rosenberg noted that QTS' staff averages over 6 years of experience per technician, and almost all technicians are CNEs, MCSEs or both, so the skill level of the staff allows QTS to resolve issues quickly and thoroughly.

QTS' Customer Support Center also performed admirably in 2000.  According to Paul Sawchuk, Manager of the Customer Support Center, QTS' goal is to begin working on 95% of all issues within goal, and resolve 85% of all issues within goal.  "Goal" varies based on the severity of the issue, but a mid-level severity issue has a 2 hour goal for starting and an 8 hour goal for resolving the issue, noted Sawchuk.  In 2000, out of 947 incidents logged in QTS' help desk system, 96.41% were started within goal, and 89.86% were resolved within goal.  "Paul and the CSC did a great job for our customers in 2000," said Rosenberg, who attributes the responsive service to QTS' dedicated staffing.  "We have three, going on four, dedicated staff members in the CSC, so we're ready to take the calls as they come in and resolve our clients' technical support problems.  QuikAlert is the key to this, as this allows us to have staff in the office that can quickly shift from proactive management to reactive support when we need to - it gives us an economy of scale that most of our clients or competitors couldn't possibly have," noted Rosenberg.

QTS' Project Management goal is to have 90% of all projects completed On Schedule and Within Budget.  This goal is based on the schedule agreed upon with the client, and on a 10% variance from our service estimates, with adjustment for Change Orders as they are signed off on.  In 2000, of 131 projects QTS brought in 94.66% on schedule, and 90.08% within budget.  "Considering the complexity of most of the projects we do, we're very satisfied with our performance, but always looking to improve," noted John Houston, QTS' Service Implementation Manager.

According to Rosenberg, the fact that QTS measures its performance on a regular basis and incorporates customer feedback into these measures is a key differentiator, and a benefit of working with QTS.  "We view our relationship with our customers as a partnership, and we try to become an extension of our clients' businesses.  We have to provide a high level of service if we're going to help them achieve their business goals and not just be any ordinary vendor," said Rosenberg.
