    PlumChoice Helps MSPs Service PCs Without Getting Their Hands Dirty - A PlumChoice Service Call
    ( Page 3 of 3 )

    The assigned technician called promptly, introduced himself and explained what services he would be performing. Our assigned technician, Frederick, said he had been with PlumChoice for close to a year and is based in North Carolina. All of PlumChoice's technicians are based in the United States and must meet several requirements, including some industry certifications, before being hired by the company.

    Fredrick instructed us to go to the PlumChoice Web site and click on an icon to load the remote support agent application. PlumChoice recently changed over to Bomgar as its support application. Bomgar is an appliance-based solution that supports several major operating systems and includes multiple tools for remotely troubleshooting PCs.

    As Frederick worked on the system, he informed us of exactly what he was doing, explained the tools in use, gave numerous tips on how to prevent problems and proved to be very courteous. We felt that we were getting two services for the money: the actual repair of the system and an in-depth educational system. Frederick also recommended utilities that we should consider for maintaining the system ourselves and discussed the other services available from PlumChoice. The service call took about 45 minutes and at no time did we feel rushed or inconvenienced.

    Establishing a good relationship with the technician has advantages, and users can request that technician for other service calls in the future if desired, building a long-term service relationship with a known individual.

    One important element of the service is documentation. Technicians input copious notations to the user's account for future reference, which helps to speed future resolutions and keeps customers informed about the tasks performed on systems. At the completion of the service call, PlumChoice sends out an e-mail notification, an invoice and a survey. The company is clearly focused on customer satisfaction and values customer input to improve service.

    When it comes to remote support, problem resolution and customer satisfaction, PlumChoice is definitely a class leader for hosted problem resolution.
