PORTLAND, OR, JANUARY 22, 2008 –Opus Interactive announced today that it has received accreditation under the MSP Alliance’s (MSPA) Managed Services Accreditation Program (MSAP). MSAP is the first program of its kind, specifically designed and created to provide customers of managed services providers with the assurance that the service provider they hire meets or exceeds the highest principles of quality. Quality is measured in areas such as financial stability, facilities, managed services practices, and customer satisfaction.
"The Managed Services Accreditation Program is a rigorous program that benchmarks and verifies the quality of the managed services Opus Interactive is providing,” said Charles Weaver, MSP Alliance president. "We are very proud to have Opus Interactive as a part of this prestigious body of MSPs.”
The MSAP was created, using a wide base of criteria that will properly encompass a wide range of managed services providers. By covering service delivery and buying criteria that matter to customers, the MSAP certification program tracks and measures a satisfactory level of professional business practices, helping MSPs to consistently deliver superior services to their clients.
