Should You Upgrade Your Support
Tools? (Françoise Tourniaire)
Before you spend more money on technology, look closely at
process and implementation issues.
Getting Approval for New Support
Tools (Kristin Robertson)
Gaining approval from management for a support tool purchase
can be a major hurdle.
Customer Tracking
Solutions (ASP)
An ASP survey explores three key CRM issues--database
solutions, migration trends, and implementation lessons.
Screen-Recording Software Makes Support
Jobs Easier (Carla Wardin)
With screen recording tools, you can record videos of on-screen
activity from any application.
Animation as a Web Support
Tool
For hard-to-explain concepts like Boolean logic, the best
e-learning tool may be simple animation.
FORUM POSTINGS
VoIP for support?
"Does anyone use VOIP for sales/support? And if so, how is
the quality? Who is your service provider? Do you use it
internationally? What problems have you encountered? Is it
tied into your CRM?"
