The Siemens Healthcare service organization in the United States includes more than 1,300 Customer Service Engineers (CSEs) in eight regional zones. CSEs are supported by a parts distribution network headquartered in Memphis, Tenn., which replenishes inventory daily at five regional parts depots and 12 local depots. The UPTIME Service Center, located in Cary, N.C., operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and handles more than two million calls annually.
"Our U.S.-based customer care model integrates technical support engineers, applications specialists, and an engineer dispatch model that's built for speed," said Westerhold. "When a call comes in, customers are immediately referred to experts familiar with their institution and their system. If an on-site engineer is required, they arrive with an optimal action plan to get the system running quickly."
