Support system

21.04.2022

It turns out that Dew-X is also suitable for handling support requests.

One of the interactive agencies decided to use it for this purpose.

Business background

The company has made hundreds of websites for its clients. Many of them also decided to use support services after the warranty period. Support applications are different types.

The most popular are:

  1. Change the content of the page
  2. The need to update (server, wordpress, plugins etc.)
  3. Errors
  4. Matters related to e-mail

The goal was better control over applications and their implementation, setting priorities and forwarding to appropriate employees.

Solution

To help manage this process, a new Organization has been added in Dew-X, separated for this purpose. It is, incidentally, a very good procedure, because it allows you to separate the company internal affairs from customer service.

As part of the new Organization, a process was created based on the available template called “Report Error”. It required a significant development, but at the beginning of work with Dew-X it is much easier to base on a ready-made pattern than to build the process from the very beginning.

After testing, all you have to do was start adding users on the clients’ side.

Note: In the case of processes, such as described above, it is worth using two hints:

  1. Create an additional Technical User (or users), e.g. support@mycompany.com so that customers can always submit tickets only to them.
    This user should be Inside the organization (more about Users)
  2. When adding outsiders (clients), always define their status as Outside the organization so that they only see users from Inside and they did not see each other. In this way, reports can only be sent to this technical user (or users) from point 1. He will be able to forward them to everyone, including those outside the Organization.

2023 Global Software Buying Trends Gartner Digital Markets
The Gartner Digital Markets report identifies Top 9 software investment trends to watch in 2023. It’s all interesting, but Trend No. 3 caught our attention in particular, which shows that 69% (a sample of over 1,500 companies in five countries) of buyers struggle to justify and fund new technology investments. In a broader context, this may be closely related to economic uncertainty, which has been identified as the biggest business challenge in 2023 (Trend No. 1).
