Command Center - in Service Businesses

In Service Businesses

A command center enables the real-time visibility and management of an entire service operation. Similar to an air traffic control center, a command center allows organizations to view the status of global service calls, service technicians, and service parts on a single screen. In addition, customer commitments or service level agreements (SLAs) that have been made can also be programmed into the command center and monitored to ensure all are met and customers are satisfied.

A command center is well suited for industries where coordinating field service (people, equipment, parts, and tools) is critical.

  • Example: Intel's (TM) security Command Center
  • Example: Dell's Enterprise Command Center
  • Example: NASA's Mission Control Houston Command Center for Space Shuttle and ISS

War rooms can also be used for defining strategies, or driving business intelligence efforts

Famous quotes containing the words service and/or businesses:

    The ruin of the human heart is self-interest, which the American merchant calls self-service. We have become a self- service populace, and all our specious comforts—the automatic elevator, the escalator, the cafeteria—are depriving us of volition and moral and physical energy.
    Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)

    One of the first businesses of a sensible man is to know when he is beaten, and to leave off fighting at once.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
