The Company, the Journey: COPC Inc.
COPC Inc. was founded in 1996. The journey began with helping call centers, helping them achieve maximum and efficient results, but keeping priority towards the goal of improving their performance and enabling their clients to achieve the same. COPC Inc. provides consulting, training, certification, benchmarking, and research for operations that support the customer experience. COPC Standards are a collection of performance management systems for customer experience operations, customer experience management, vendor management, and procurement.
Today, COPC is an innovative global leader, empowering organizations to optimize operations to deliver a superior service journey. COPC is persistent and is relentlessly working towards enhancing its performance and services.

COPC goes a step beyond traditional service and support norms, with utmost standards of delivery, and customer care. These factors aided them in establishing a strong dominance in the industry and commanding a respected position amongst their competition.
COPC faced a lot of challenges in its formative years. It is owing to their resilience, hard work, and team effort, which has kept them together and propelled them to create a mark in the industry as one of the best. Some of the challenges faced by COPC were just like with most start-ups, i.e., selling the services to the first few clients is always a tussle as people always are hesitant to put their trust in new companies and services. The next challenge was to build a brand in the industry which required the introduction of a rigorous management discipline as the industry at that time was a pretty unstructured industry.
Factors Pushing COPC to the Heights of Success
Their best-in-class services made their brand name popular, resulting in a staggering growth and success rate.

Services offered, new additions, and COPC’s plans to take these services ahead into the changing times and trends.
They focus on consulting, training, certification, and research. What sets them apart is the relentless focus and dedication towards performance improvement for operations that support the customer experience.

In 2020, COPC Inc. introduced a full-service consulting based on the customer service journey, named Service Journey Thinking. They are now helping organizations take a holistic view on improving the customer experience from both the frontstage operations (customer-visible) and backstage operations (behind the scenes). It consists of helping organizations understand how to view transactions from a multi-channel approach rather than analyzing one service channel at a time and helping them create an all-encompassing service blueprint to identify performance and process gaps.
COPC never stops innovating, and thus, they have created a new CX Research department to meet the expanding needs of their clients for industry trends, customer-centric reports, consumer studies, and much more.
Constantly monitoring industry trends as they continue to evolve their CX Standard and perform research for customers. Always welcoming a change, ever ready to adapt their services based on the needs of the clients and ever-evolving changes in consumer preferences and behaviors.
