Management Training Workshop
Is your organization out-growing it's existing
processes and in need of change? Have you
experienced a period of substantial growth and your
processes and tools have not kept pace with that
growth?
When a company's market expansion, sales levels,
new product introductions, and other key business
functions have grown at a rate substantially greater
than the evolution of the support organization, you
have a situation that likely can benefit from
reengineering.
At last year's SSPA conference, this workshop set
records. It was both the best attended (50+ people)
AND the highest rated workshop at the conference!
As a result, we've been invited back - times two!
Dave's very popular Reengineering Workshop is
being offered as both a pre (May 4) and post (May
7) conference workshop at the Technology
Services World conference in Santa Clara.
We hope you join us for this great conference.
If you can't get away from the office to attend the whole
conference, consider breaking away for one day to
attend a training workshop (you do not have to
attend the full conference to attend a training
workshop).

Greetings!
Now, more than ever, it is important that your support
operation be lean and run as efficiently as
possible. It's time to identify areas of inefficiency and
stop non value-added spending.
Smart
managers
are looking for proactive ways to optimize their
support centers now rather than wait until they are
told to cut headcount and do more with less.
This month's issue will provide valuable insights into
how to get your support operation running at
maximum efficiency, operating with minimum
headcount, and positioned for future growth.
Our two featured articles are in line with helping
support organizations 'lean up' in this economy.
The
first article is packed full of information about
operational assessments. The second article
is a case study sharing a software company's
transformation from a business with no hope of ever
meeting customer needs to a 'world-class' service
provider.

| Operational Assessments - What Can They Do For You? |
| |
When people start talking about "operational
assessments," I start thinking about the reasoning
behind those assessments. Let's face it, the reasons
for performing an operational assessment are pretty
similar to the reasons you'd head to your doctor for a
complete physical.
You may see your annual
physical
as sound practice and just good ol' preventative
medicine. Or, you might be experiencing some
disturbing symptoms that should be thoroughly
checked out. You may even want to get a check-up
before embarking on a new venture that could stress
your health and capabilities. Well, these are
essentially the same reasons management
might consider performing an operational
assessment.

| Case Study - How One Software Company Went From Sinking Ship to Smooth Sailing! |
| |
Solomon Software's technical
support
group
was drowning in calls! They were only answering
about 30% of their 500 daily incoming calls.
The
callers who did get through had been waiting an
average hold time of 45 minutes. The remaining
callers either left voice messages requesting a
callback or added abandoned calls to the daily
metrics!
Could the company navigate its way out of this
overwhelming chaos and into a status of 'world-class'
support provider? It could and it did! Read on to find
out how.
