RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
MAXIMUS (NYSE: MMS), a leading provider of government services worldwide, announced today that two of its customer contact centers in Texas have achieved re-certification as a Center of Excellence by BenchmarkPortal. These customer contact centers provide support for the Texas Eligibility Support Services (ESS) and Texas Enrollment Broker Services (EBS) contracts. This is the eighth consecutive year that the Company’s health services operations in Texas have achieved this important distinction.
The BenchmarkPortal Center of Excellence distinction is based on best practice metrics drawn from the world’s largest database of objective and quantitative performance data from thousands of contact centers. Performance data collected from the MAXIMUS contact centers achieved BenchmarkPortal’s rigorous standards of efficiency and effectiveness in areas such as operational efficiency, service-level standards, customer satisfaction and employee training.
