This award marks Atlantic Tomorrow's Office's 13th year to be recognized for its accomplishments. This year's award was presented at a ceremony conducted at TABS' 2005 National Dealer Meeting held in Las Vegas last month.

"Atlantic Tomorrow's Office recognizes that the service and support we provide after the completion of a sale is the most important part of our customer relationship.

"Being recognized as a Toshiba ProMasters dealer is an honor that confirms to our customers that we are committed to providing them with the highest level of service and after-sale support."

The ProMasters Program and Award were specifically developed by TABS to ensure the highest standard of technical expertise and service in the industry. Only dealers that have surpassed rigorous standards and evaluations and an ongoing qualification process, as well as continually demonstrate an unwavering commitment to providing exceptional customer service and knowledge in support of TABS copier, printer and facsimile products, are eligible to receive the ProMasters designation.

"It gives us great pleasure to honor Atlantic Tomorrow's Office as a ProMasters dealer, and recognize their dedication to providing customers with the best possible purchasing experience," said George Colborn, vice president, Service, TABS. "The ProMasters Program demonstrates Toshiba's uncompromising commitment to providing its customers the highest level of reliability and satisfaction, and is intended to raise the status quo for industry service and support."

All TABS dealers nationwide are eligible to enter the ProMasters competition. Qualifications for receiving the ProMasters Award include the fulfillment of specific and demanding requirements, including:

Toshiba Trained Technicians - ProMasters dealers must maintain a number of technicians with authorized training on each TABS copier, printer and facsimile model. These technicians must be certified through TABS' training and service development programs.
Field Service Operation - ProMasters dealers must manage a comprehensive field service operation and possess proper service tools and manuals, and technical bulletins to ensure timely onsite repair and maintenance of customers' products.
Ongoing Customer Relations Program - To ensure all TABS customers receive responsive customer support, ProMasters dealers must maintain an ongoing customer relations and satisfaction training program for all technicians and customer support personnel.
Pro-Active Preventative Maintenance Scheduling - ProMasters dealers must maintain a preventative maintenance scheduling program for all customers' equipment based on TABS' periodic inspection policies and procedures, ensuring reliability of TABS' products and eliminating unnecessary downtime and operating expenses.
Equipment Appraisal - To ensure all ProMasters dealers are maintaining TABS' products according to prescribed standards, all dealers are subjected to a random, semi-annual field equipment appraisal by TABS Regional Service specialists. These appraisals ensure customers' products are adequately maintained.
Dealer Computer System Capabilities - All ProMasters dealers are strongly encouraged to maintain an online computer system to incorporate spare parts inventory control, field technician dispatching, maintenance agreements, service record tracking and service billing, ensuring more responsive and efficient customer service support.

In addition, TABS dealers that meet these standards are then scored and evaluated by Toshiba's Regional Service Department in a number of service, competency, efficiency and customer satisfaction areas. Detailed, onsite evaluations of customer equipment also are performed with grading on equipment condition, performance and overall customer satisfaction. Only those dealers earning satisfactory scores of at least 700 out of a possible 1,000 in the evaluation process receive the honor of a ProMasters designation.
