“Kongsberg Digital is honored and very proud to receive the NorthFace Scoreboard Award for exceptional customer service and support.We see the award as a recognition of the value of our focus on collaboration and communication on every level, with our customers as well as internally, across continents, time zones, and departments,” said Hege Skryseth, Executive Vice President, KONGSBERG and President, Kongsberg Digital.“We take pride in understanding our customers’ needs and pain points, and to this end, we focus on direct communication and interaction.

Omega is an expert in customer experience management (CEM) strategy and helps companies boost revenue and profits by consistently exceeding customer expectations for service quality. Omega's methodology measures customer satisfaction and loyalty levels on a five-point scale (or equivalent) four times during the year in such categories as technical support, field service, customer service, and account management. NorthFace ScoreBoard Award recipients are companies who, based solely on survey responses from their customers, achieved a 4.0 or above out of a possible 5.0.
"Due to its unique 'customer-only vote' criteria, the NorthFace ScoreBoard Award has been viewed from its inception as the only objective benchmark for excellence in customer service," Maraganis said. "Our research indicates that companies that consistently achieve a 4.0 rating or above, which we call the 'Loyalty Zone,' are succeeding in locking in profitable, long-term customer relationships, and this significantly raises the bar on their competitors."
