Crow Canyon Software – Outlook Help Desk Software

Outlook Help Desk 3.0 brings order and efficiency to the demanding world of end user and customer support. No longer is the Help Desk a chaotic blend of pages, voice mails, post-it notes, stops in the hallway and random emails. The Help Desk can know at a glance what tickets are open and what work has been done on them.

Outlook Help Desk 3.0 leverages the power of Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft Outlook, and the Web to bring you a simple, efficient and effective help desk, customer support and ticket tracking system. It is ideal for companies and organizations that are overwhelmed by user or customer requests and issues.

Support requests are entered through Outlook, the Web or email, and then are assigned and tracked. The resolved tickets are kept in an Exchange public folder and can be reviewed if a similar issue arises again.

How many times have you said, “I know we fixed that last month, but don’t remember exactly what we did….” Now, you can just refer back to the completed ticket, which contains a record of who fixed it, when and how.

Outlook Help Desk 3.0 will bring you an organized and efficient Help Desk for substantially lower cost than those massive, full-blown systems. Those programs are often overkill for many companies. If you don’t need and aren’t going to use the features, why pay for them?

    Data Sys – Help.i

    HELP.i is a customer support system that can be used in various areas of businesses, services, government agencies, financial institutions or industries. The product can be used to support a client’s own employees or end users of the client’s product who encountered problems and seek a solution via the clients usual customer support facilities.

    A significant advantage of this system is exact problem tracking: the problem can be submitted either in electronic form (by filling a form on a web site of product provider or by e-mail), or by the customer via “green” line or through an operator. The submitted problem then has an exactly defined life cycle that can be tracked either by the user who submitted it or by the problem solver or by a manager, any time and from anywhere. HELP.i provides a significant help in a form of access to knowledge base of similar resolved problems including procedures how to handle them.

    Deployment of HELP.i results in a substantial improvement of quality of customer services, customer satisfaction and thus higher return of investments in relatively short time.

    HELP.i enables rapid implementation of support system and low installation costs for both internal and external end users. The design of the product allows the use of an ordinary web browser (without support of Java, ActiveX etc.) on client workstation (users, customers) and all activities are performed on your own internal server. The reduction of requirements on a client computer to a minimum considerably affects the price of successful implementation and ongoing application performance.
