(NASDAQ:VERX) (“Vertex” or the “Company”), a global provider of tax technology solutions, has earned HDI Support Center Certification for six years running. This prestigious recognition, awarded by the HDI, the premier global provider of support center certification and consulting services, highlights Vertex’s continued ability to consistently provide excellence in customer support. As the only tax technology provider to achieve this distinction, Vertex reaffirms its ongoing commitment to maintaining a customer-focused approach as the pillar of its business success.

“I congratulate the entire Vertex team on achieving HDI Support Center Certification,” said Tara Gibb, Senior Director, HDI. “As an HDI-Certified Support Center, Vertex is part of an elite circle of organizations who are dedicated to innovation, quality operations, continuous improvement, strategic vision, a positive work environment and high levels of customer service.”

Today’s customers have high expectations for support. According to McKinsey, 71% of customers expect personalized interactions, and 76% of those customers express frustration when they don’t receive them. Vertex scored high marks across the core areas of the HDI Support Center Certification program – including customer satisfaction, leadership, strategy and performance – with notably high scores for people satisfaction, management and leadership, revealing success in supporting both the customer and employee side of the organization. “We firmly believe that fostering collaboration and innovation within the organization empowers Vertex to pass that benefit to our customer base. We see HDI’s certification as direct proof of that effort – one we strive to maintain and evolve,” said Tanya Craig, VP, Global Support, Vertex.

“At Vertex, we take pride in providing an exceptional customer experience by meeting clients where they are in their journey and proactively anticipating and addressing their needs,” said Craig. “With over 4,000 customers globally and a longstanding trust from more than half of Fortune 500 companies, we are proud to hold this HDI certification and remain committed to the user experience as part of our value system. We know this starts with unmatched customer support and acting as an extension of the customer’s own team.”
