Offer your users the ability to call one number to have their issues logged, tracked, dispatched and escalated to resolution. Inlet can set up a dedicated number for your users to call to reach your support center – Inlet’s Virtual Support Center!
As part of our partnership, you can be assured
services we deliver to your users will be completely transparent.
Through our Telephone system, we will answer callers
within 3 rings, greet them with your preferred greeting, and have our analysts
validate key information in the user database such as location and phone
number. Should the call need to
be rerouted to your staff, we will do so as a ‘warm transfer’.
Inlet’s objective is to resolve your users problem
on the first call. Our support
team has at their disposal a custom built knowledge base,
vendor databases and most importantly field experienced team leaders to ensure
problems are handled quickly and effectively.
Back-Line support services
Inlet’s
roots are in providing telephone support to resolve complex network problems.
Each of our senior technical support engineers brings over 15 years of
field support experience to your staff. Now
you get the added advantage of having one point for your field team to call
for problem escalation and support – without having to maintain separate
support contracts with individual vendors!
World-Wide Web based self-service tools
One of the key benefits of becoming an Inlet Virtual
Support Center client is accessing the knowledge base and support resources
through the World-Wide Web. Through
a password protected system, your staff can access critical support
information from any Web Browser. Additionally,
Inlet provides Web-Based call tracking and reporting services via our call
tracking system.
Often users have questions that are purely informational or are related to non-critical issues. For those instances, users may opt to use E-Mail or on-line Chat services to get those questions answered. Our on-line chat room is staffed from 7AM to 7PM Monday to Friday to answer non-critical issues. E-Mail service is also available Monday – Friday with a guaranteed 24 hour response to requests.
Inlet has invested in the systems and software to
log, dispatch and track support calls.
By leveraging our systems, you don’t have to make
that investment. Inlet will
ensure your service/support team quickly gets the information they need before
they go to users desk. And if you
have an existing system, Inlet will work with your team to integrate our
systems.
The end result is a seamless interaction with your internal support staff.
