Canon Professional Services Adds Third Support Center in Virginia
By 
July 2, 2010 – PRESS SUMMARY - Canon U.S.A., announced the addition of a third service support center to be located at the Company’s Canon Virginia Incorporated facility in Newport News, VA supporting the Canon Professional Services (CPS) program. In April of this year, Canon extended its CPS membership to qualifying videographers, cinematographers and filmmakers and the overwhelming response received from these new markets has prompted the need for a third CPS support center. The expansion of the CPS program is designed to extend Canon’s support assistance to these professionals with fast service, equipment evaluation loans, and a range of other benefits. This new service location is a Canon-owned facility with Canon-certified service technicians based here in the US.
Along with enhancing service, Canon U.S.A. will now extend its CPS hotline service to provide 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week technical support to all CPS members. A separate international customer support number will also be made available to US-based professionals traveling and working abroad. Also starting today, Canon will begin to offer its Professional Rush Repair service with expedited two-day and three-day turnaround for eligible video equipment, a tremendous benefit for professionals working under deadline.
The technical support hotline’s extended 24/7-support is an added benefit to all tiers of CPS memberships beginning July 1st. The hotline will provide the same level of support currently offered, including answering CPS membership questions, real-time technical product support and updates on repair status. The technical support hotline number for CPS members is available on the CPS website. The Virginia location will service the southeast region and help improve customer satisfaction for CPS members there by reducing turnaround time for service and shipping costs. The new facility will share repair services with the other two CPS facilities resulting in better service for all CPS members. Current CPS members located in a geographic region supported by the new facility will receive a packet in the coming weeks including Professional Rush Repair shipping labels with the address for the new service facility.
To see a comprehensive list of all eligible pro DSLR and Video equipment, and for more information on Canon U.S.A., Inc.’s Canon Professional Services program including qualification requirements and benefits for Silver, Gold and Platinum level memberships, please check the CPS web page at: www.usa.canon.com/cps.
