Following Chris Shipley's opening remarks at the DEMO 2006 Conference, NetworkStreaming will provide remote technical support to a user during a live demonstration of SupportDesk 9.0. Developed in response to customer requests, SupportDesk 9.0 is the only appliance-based remote support software designed specifically for call center organizations. With the release of this product, the days of sitting on the phone through extended wait times to receive help desk support will soon be over.


Due to the increased number of PC consumers and the greater complexity of newer technologies, call centers are backlogging tech support requests to deal with the rise in call volume. SupportDesk 9.0 is designed to streamline incoming workflow through customized session controls and enhanced productivity features. These functions help call centers to increase their service quality and accuracy needed to assist and resolve the customer's issue on the first call. The customer benefits of SupportDesk 9.0 include:


Enhanced Customer Controls for Headache-free Help Desk Support


* On-demand connectivity allows the rep to be up and going on a troubled


PC in less than 10 seconds -- even through corporate firewalls.


SupportDesk 9.0's reboot/restart function gives the customer freedom


and flexibility from having to sit in front of the computer as it is


being serviced by the support rep.


* Since SupportDesk 9.0 connects via a secured Internet address, support


professionals can access any computer anywhere in the world.


* Zero pre-installation of software or preconfiguration allows the


customer to get help without hassle.


* Zero footprint provides the customer with peace of mind, that once the


session is ended the software is completely uninstalled from the user's


machine and cannot be re-accessed without the user's consent.


* Permission-based connection and a large, accessible 'stop' button


ensures that the customer easily retains overriding control over the


support session at all times.


Improved Incident Response for Fast, Accurate Resolution


* Improved session management that allows call centers to setup


specialized teams for faster, more customized response. The rep can


seamlessly share the call for training or transfer to another rep if


the problem escalates in complexity.


* A cleaner interface allows the support rep to quickly tab through


sessions to support more calls at once and cut customer wait time


significantly.


* The software also generates a customer exit survey to provide feedback


on the help session and support rep to ensure quality customer service.


"More than ever, individuals are making maverick decisions about their computing environments, connecting more devices, downloading software, and cruising a vast array of Internet sites. All of this activity creates chaos for call centers," said Chris Shipley executive producer of DEMO. "Support personnel are overwhelmed and providing low-quality service as a result. NetworkStreaming's unique approach to remote control software gives call centers the tools to quickly and securely connect to users and address their tech support requests. The result is a faster resolution of technical problems and happier customers."
