GWI Software Adds Customization and Flexibility with c.Support for Microsoft Windows version 2.5

November 12, 2003 - Vancouver, WA - GWI Software, a leading provider of web-based help desk solutions, today announced the release of c.Support® 2.5 for Microsoft Windows. Among other customer-requested enhancements, this new version includes easier navigation, custom views, and enhanced end-user search capabilities. Leveraging the .NET standard, c.Support version 2.5 continues to advance its integration with Microsoft® CRM.

"We continue to move our Microsoft® product forward, focusing on customer input above all else," stated Daren Nelson, Founder and CEO of GWI Software. "This release adds a lot of great time saving features that our users have asked for, as well as some great new features that improve overall call center functionality."

"GWI has done a great job of enhancing and expanding the functionality of the .Net product to reduce the time required to work an issue by technicians and end users," said Ken Chapman, Technical Support Manager for Desire2Learn Inc. "In addition, it includes some functionality that we specifically requested that wasn't in the original release plan. We couldn't be more impressed with the reactivity, service and support demonstrated by GWI for this release."

The new features in c.Support 2.5 provide customization and flexibility:

Custom fields for ticket creation improves information collection
Based on category (such as hardware, software, or department), administrators can customize the fields that need to be completed when creating a ticket, ensuring they have the information they need to support the customer.

Contract integration with Microsoft® CRM eliminates double-entry and reduces mistakes
Microsoft CRM case based contracts are now tracked by c.Support. When creating a ticket, c.Support will search CRM for the appropriate contract information and make appropriate deductions.

Custom notification templates add flexibility
Administrators can easily create custom templates for notifications that are generated by c.Support, allowing personalized correspondence to end users.

Custom View Builder filters information for quick analysis
The new Custom View Builder allows administrators to select asset, configuration, customer, FAQ, headline, incident or knowledge fields for a customized view to display to all support representatives.

New search functionality increases end-user satisfaction
End users can use a search engine to find their submitted tickets and view ticket status or resolution.

c.Support version 2.5 is available immediately. The system is fully web-based and requires only a web browser client. It can be installed on a Microsoft Windows® Server running IIS. The product includes all of the elements to become functional on your IIS machine.
