Customer Service: EMC Corp.
- by Fast Company
Of course, the best way to address a customer problem is to fix it before it happens. And for every hour that EMC spends mending faulty hardware and software, it spends nine hours anticipating and preventing such meltdowns. "Most of the time, we address problems before the customer even knows that there's an issue," says Walton.
EMC likes to call it "service and support mind reading." Sensors that are built into its storage systems monitor things such as temperature, vibration, and tiny fluctuations in power, as well as unusual patterns in the way data is being stored and retrieved -- over 1,000 diagnostics in all. Every two hours, an EMC system checks its own state of health. If everything is running smoothly, the log file is stored away. If the machine spots something that it doesn't like, it "phones home" to customer service over a line dedicated for that purpose.

They Sell Suits with Soul
- by Eric Ransdell
The only thing worse than a pushy salesman in a slick suit is a salesman pushing a slick suit. In 1973, that insight led George Zimmer to open a store that would sell suits differently from how they'd been sold before. Much has changed since he opened that first store in Houston: The Men's Wearhouse Inc. is now the country's leading discount retailer of men's clothing, with 6,000 employees, more than 400 stores, and annual revenues of $630 million. But Zimmer's basic idea remains the same. "The average man enjoys shopping for clothes about as much as going to the dentist," says Zimmer, 49, the company's CEO.
