 Support Center Enhancements

Due to increased business and call volume, we are implementing a new call center program starting May 1st.

Instead of dialing directly through and ringing the entire support center, your call will be placed in a dynamic queue. The dispatcher will answer the call and get information from the caller. The dispatcher will need the following:

·         Customer Key Number

·         Agency Name

·         Caller Name

·         Caller Email Address

·         Suspected Problem

Once the dispatcher has this information it will be placed in the call center and assigned to a technician depending on the type of problem. The technician will then research the problem and contact the caller via phone or email with solutions to the problem.

Direct lines and extensions will no longer be available. All calls must be directed through the dispatcher.

We feel that this will help technicians resolve problems faster, minimize "dead" phone time. It will also enable them to prioritize support calls in case of emergency situations.

 

 Remote Assistance Software

Recently, Advantage Information Systems purchased a very helpful and efficient software program. ‘Go To Meeting’ is a remote assistance program that allows us to connect to your computer via the web. It allows us to dig a little deeper on those hard to fix or hard to understand problems.

Not only does it allow the support team to help you faster, it enables us to provide additional training on processing downloads or various other functions within the program. 

It works like this:

You go to http://www.gotomeeting.com. Click on "Join a Meeting".

You'll be asked to install a small file and then enter in a "Meeting ID" that will be given to you by your support technician.

After you join the meeting you'll give control of your computer over to the technician and he will work on the issue at hand while you watch! Its very exciting and such a time-saver! Who knows, you might even learn by watching.

 

 Web Based Support

Don't have time to fool with a phone call? Need an answer but don't need it NOW? Instead of emailing the support address you can go to the website:

·         Enter in your customer key - found on the lower right hand corner of the main menu of WinAA

·         Enter in your information & description of the problem or suggestion

·         The request is sent to our new call processing system so we can take care of your problem as soon as possible.

New Utility Available...

WinAA BatchFile

This new program functions like the BatchScan program, except it does not scan.


It is designed to work with scanners that produce PDF, TIF or JPG files. After scanning the files you can use the BatchFile utility to import them into your AA database.


You can find this utility in the user only downloads section of the customer support site.
