Abstract Once a software product is delivered to a customer, the quality of service provided plays an important role in retaining that customer. In this paper, we identify certain key factors that impact the service quality in commercial software products.

Our results show that quick response to service calls and the quality of the solution provided to the customer are dominant drivers of service quality. We also find that the effect of these factors depends on the service providers and on the business area of the customer.
