- How the quality assurance and performance testing works
- Customeric help buyers to quality assure Cloud solutions ensuring that they fully meet their Strategic vision, requirements, budget and commitments to delivery of accessible, high quality customer service for all. We use our 7-step Customer-Centric Design (CCD) approach to assess the quality, performance and fit of potential solutions. CD can be simply summarised as: 1) Engagement – Understanding our client’s service vision and needs (client requirements) and documenting the ‘as-is’ and ‘to-be’ through development of a strategy, roadmap and Target Operating Model 2) Research – Completing customer requirements diagnostics and creating an insights report 3) Analysis – Identifying gaps, opportunities and priorities for the solution 4) Design – Creating and testing solutions 5) Solutions – Refining and detailing potential solutions 6) Implement – Supporting the plan and roll-out of new solutions and services 7) Improve – Refining and adapt services based on reviews, and benefit realisation. Our experienced team will guide buyers through this process - exploring your existing ways of working, structures, processes and technology and identify potential enhancements and matching this to vendors/solutions. We can then help you to implement your Cloud solutions recommendations to enable you to swiftly realise value, benefits and customer satisfaction gains.
