HDI Tip of the Day
“Get a commitment to resources: Symantec’s Steve Cheeseman points out that building a Web support site usually creates lots of unexpected costs—including temporary reductions in productivity for phone technicians who had to create knowledgebase content and expensive hardware upgrades to support new desktop and server-based tools. “It’s a huge change—not just for the executive level to buy into on the resources, but for the technicians, too.”” – The Year’s Ten Best Web Support Sites, produced by Soft?letter & The Association of Support Professionals
