question
grammar translation
Use of 「として」in this sentence
「として」is a set phrase meaning "as, in the role of", derived from the
continuative form of 「とする」+ conjunctive particle 「て」.

「窓口として」means "as a window". This sounds a bit weird, doesn't it? Let's put it
back into the context. The noun phrase modified by 「として」is actually
「お客様との対話の窓口」, not just 「窓口」. 「窓口」is used figuratively here.

お客様との対話の窓口として: as a channel of communication with the customers

> 今後もお客様との対話の窓口として、より充実していくべく努力してまいります

A rough rendition of this in English goes something like this:

> [We] will continue to work hard as a channel of communication with our
> customers, making it even better than before.
