The COPC® Family of Standards is a globally recognised performance management framework that enables you to measure and improve all operational activities that support the customer experience.
COPC is an acronym for Customer Operations Performance Centre.
Who is COPC?
COPC is a management consulting business originally founded in the USA in 1996.
Privately held, COPC specialises in customer experience transformation and they provide a range of services including consulting, training, certification and benchmarking.
With specific regards to CX, their Family of Standards include:
- CSP Standard for Customer Service Providers (for internal operations)
- OSP Standard for Outsourcer Service Providers (for outsourced operations)
COPC Standards and Certifications
COPC has developed their own standards which comes in three versions:
- Customer Service Providers
- Outsourced Service Providers
- Vendor Management Organisations
COPC is not an industry association. As a private company, they offer training and certification courses with all the training provided by their COPC certified trainers.
They have developed their own standards, guidelines, processes etc and as a business, its objective is to make a profit.
Whilst traditionally more contact centre focussed, COPC now offers Customer Experience (CX) training and certification.
If you are looking for a not-for-profit organisation also offering global standards and certification you may be interested in the Customer Experience Professionals Association (CXPA).
