Gotta add one more Love-Love-Love WebEx...
Under the title a picture can paint a thousand words but more
importantly change the words from he said/she said into see this or do
that... I can't tell you how many times I have been on a tech support
call and had someone tell me how to do something using one set of
terminology and then when I call back to the same company using the same
technology and they use a different set of terms for the same thing.
With WebEx's <singing> "Do you see what I see" approach to tech support,
I think it cuts tech support calls in 1/2 and by in 1/2 I don't just
mean 1 phone call time, I mean the number of repeat calls are probably
cut at least in 1/2 as well.
Ok down off the soap box! /ALE
