Wireless Woes:
A Leading Wireless Hardware Provider Relies on Inforonics 
to Keep End-users Connected
By: Inforonics, LLC
 
The Industry:

Wireless Internet connectivity has quickly become the preferred method of Internet access for business, education and home users. This has created an increasingly complex support scenario for the manufacturers of the access points and routers and Wireless Internet Service Providers. The freedom and flexibility that wireless connectivity provides allows users to access networks wherever and whenever they want through a heterogeneous mix of vendor hardware, security and operating systems. Technical support is now an around-the-clock requirement since users expect resolution whenever they have issues connecting to the Internet.

The Situation

A leading manufacturer of access points and concentrators was growing sales rapidly with a limited staff of engineers. End-user technical support was delivered by the internal engineering organization. Releases of new products were slipping. Many of the calls were repetitious set up and end-user “how to” questions. As is frequently the case, the answers were in the documentation or on the wireless technology provider’s website but their clients continued to place calls. Like many growing companies, the manufacturer went above and beyond to resolve customer issues thereby fostering a high level of end-user satisfaction. In order to protect their product reputation, they went as far as having to provide support to customers that had purchased their product through a reseller, even though the reseller had been given substantial discounts to provide tier 1 support. Senior management determined that having development engineers take Tier 1 calls was not the proper use of an expensive resource and was significantly impacting the organization’s ability to bring new products to market in a timely fashion.

                                                                   
 
How Inforonics Helped

The manufacturer selected Inforonics to provide Tier 1 support, initially during off-hours, weekends and holidays. Detailed scripts were developed that allowed Inforonics Technical Support Representatives to open support tickets, properly determine the issue the end user was having, triage the problem and either close the case or escalate to the manufacturer’s Tier 2 support organization. The manufacturer realized immediate benefits as they were quickly able to reduce the number of open tickets in their backlog (which had been multiplying daily), increase their customers’ satisfaction with their support offering and, most importantly, allow their development engineers to focus on what they did best: develop new products. Based on their satisfaction with Inforonics’ efforts, they quickly moved to utilizing Inforonics technical support center on a 24-hour basis every day.
