“Release 7.0 of the COPC CX Standard is a significant contribution to the contact center industry.

All customer experience operations can benefit from applying the Standard in their business,” stated Fortunato Bertello, VMO Manager LATAM for Millicom International Services.
The COPC CX Standard began 25 years ago, when call center industry leaders saw a need for structured processes and measurements that customer service providers could use to deliver consistently high performance in their contact centers. This group of leaders, now called the COPC Standards Committee, developed the first version of the COPC CX Standard in 1996.
The COPC Standards Committee meets twice a year to review the industry, the marketplace and input from users of the Standard. They review and revise the COPC CX Standard, ensuring the guidelines continue to meet changing consumer behaviors and expectations. Over time, this Standard has expanded to include versions that address other audiences such as outsource service providers (OSPs) and vendor management organizations (VMOs).
“The COPC Standards Committee has done some excellent work in Release 7.0. The enhancements targeting the customer experience (CX) in the form of service journeys coupled with updates to digital interaction processes and measurements will equip CX operations to manage the increasing expectations of customers while leveraging the latest service and support technologies,” said Kathleen McNair, SVP of Consumer Operations at RealPage.
