"Developing a service infrastructure that yields quick, satisfactory resolutions to customer complaints is not easy to do in an industry with high-tech problems and complex solutions," states Tamara Zemlo, Ph.D., MPH, Vice President of Advisory Services. Dr. Zemlo adds: "However, not figuring it out is not an option for most suppliers. One key finding in the report is that when making a purchasing decision about an instrument, 73% of the respondents place a high degree of importance on the supplier's customer service, and 90% of the respondents place a high degree of importance on the supplier's technical support."
