The time your customers spend with tech support might be the only direct contact they have with you. Customers that are helped promptly and effectively remember that your company was there for them. And sometimes, that’s the difference between the next sale going to you or the competition.
Consider a few key points that set us apart from virtually all other Technical Support Centers…
A US based agent will have the cultural awareness to read your customer’s signals and better assess the situation, knowing that there are times when it is appropriate to dispense with overly formal language and prioritize your customer’s immediate needs.
There are no contractual changes needed to add products or make changes, nor are there any fees that have to be paid. Even if you forget to tell us that you are launching them, we will add them to our system the first time a customer calls.
You will never talk to a sales rep who says he is there to help you, but doesn’t know the details of your product line. You can talk to any of your agents, your Lead Agent, Operations Manager, or the President of our company at any time.
Our comprehensive tracking of customer issues gives you insight needed for more reliable product improvements. The data is available to you live, and our flexible, real-time reporting tools are there to keep your stakeholders informed.

The reason is simple: your reputation is on the line. Our Quality Assurance team wants to work with you to make sure that the issues in your software are found and fixed before they ever reach your customers. We design our test plan with your products and your end users in mind.
When a programmer tests his own work, or creates the test plans that inexperienced staff will use for testing, he will naturally focus on the areas of the program that he knows and has worked on. He can’t test for use cases he’s overlooked in development, simply because he doesn’t know about them. If he knew to include those areas in testing, those errors wouldn’t have made it into the software at all.
Software developers frequently complain of overwork and struggle to meet deadlines. Testing is far too often overlooked in the effort to release the product on time; this can be a costly mistake to your reputation when the software does not meet expectations. A flexible, third party testing organization can make all the difference in managing your time during the last, crucial stage of development. With an outsourced group focusing their efforts on testing, developers are free to work where you really need them: making fixes.
Often, developers are limited in the number of different operating systems or devices they can use to test. Your software vendor may be blind to errors that will affect key segments of your user base, because the programmers don’t have access to the newest iPhone or latest version of Windows. Or, you may have developers working on custom-made, cutting edge systems, who never think about the struggles of your end users on more modest computers. An outsourced quality assurance partner has the ability to test in a variety of environments.
