HDI Tip of the Day
Very short abandon times suggest customer impatience either due to the
availability of other competitive options or due to disgust from repeated
unsuccessful attempts to reach your callcenter. Either are cause for
concern and action.

products designed to consolidate or even "out-task" help desk and customer
service functions across a large enterprise.
