The
key to maintaining good customer relationships is good customer service.
Customer Service encompasses a wide range of industry-specific activities:
> Information Inquiries
> Service Requests
> Billing Inquiries
> Complaints
> Upgrades
> Returns
Customer Service provides the ability to take the pulse of the organization by providing direct information from the customer.
"What products are of interest to customers?"
"What internal processes are not functioning as planned?"
"What types of complaints are being received?"
"What is the customer asking for or telling us?"
The ability to track, report and follow-up on service requests and provide
that information throughout the organization is a proactive way to deal with
potential problems at an early stage. Addressing customer issues quickly and
efficiently is always an important activity for business.
The CUSTOMER SERVICE Business Area Model establishes a data architecture accomplishing
these activities.
