<Topics> NTT Com Support Center Certified Under Latest Standard

TOKYO, JAPAN - NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) announced today that its Sendai OCN Service Center in January became the world’s first support center of an Internet service provider to be certified under the HDI Support Center Standard Version 4.1 of the Help Desk Institute (HDI), the world’s largest association for IT service and support professionals.

The standard requires higher levels of performance and quality of service than its former version. It includes, for example, a new requirement for escalation under the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL), an IT service management framework that functions as a de facto standard in Europe.

Assessment by the HDI covers eight areas, of which NTT Com’s support center received high marks in several, especially "process and procedures."

The service center, which is involved exclusively with OCN-related customer support including technical malfunctions, was certified by HDI under the standard’s previous version in 2007.

NTT Com operates support centers around Japan for its OCN-brand Internet access service.
