Customer satisfaction opportunity (CSO)
• CSO GOAL
A CSO is needed when the local Partner’s team has exhausted resources, and when customer dissatisfaction related to equipment performance, process performance, expectations or perception, requires formal escalation to provide additional resources to resolve the issue and/or enhanced customer communication.

• CSO PURPOSE
Customer Satisfaction Opportunity (CSO) process is an organized systemic method of identifying, measuring and managing Customer issues. Goal is to achieve end-user Customer satisfaction as well as obtain acknowledgment of issue resolution in a minimum amount of time.
• CSO SCOPE
The CSO process will be initiated as soon as the Partner will escalate to the regional CSO Coordinator the issue raised by the end-user Customer. The CSO will be closed when the Partner acknowledges resolution of the issue.
• CSO RESOLUTION TEAM
The CSO structure consists of the regional CSO Coordinator and Resolution Team (RT) assembled for the purpose of resolving the CSO.
