- May 18, 1992, Colorado Springs, Colorado. HelpDesk software developer
- Bendata Management Systems has solidified it's dominance of the PC/LAN
- HelpDesk automation market with the announcement of a dynamic new version
- of HEAT; the HelpDesk Expert Automation Tool. Shipment of HEAT version
- 2.0, is scheduled to begin June 1.
-
- This new version expands on HEAT's already impressive list of HelpDesk
- automation features and capabilities, and has been lauded by current users
- at a preview demonstration at the annual User's Meeting in New Orleans, as
- the best HelpDesk automation tool on the market.
-
- "Our customers are the driving force behind the continued development of
- HEAT" stated Jim Parker, VP of Bendata Management Systems. "They asked for
- certain changes and improvements in the system, and we implemented them.
- Judging from the overwhelming response from our Users, it's safe to say
- that we have the cadillac of HelpDesk automation softwares."
-
- One example of the improvements in version 2.0 is in the reporting function
- within HEAT. The reporting was completely rewritten to enable users to
- capture more information quicker and easier. Nintendo of America's Kathy
- Rigney, an original HEAT user, sums it up.." We asked them to redesign the
- report writer and they did. They also redesigned the screens to make them
- easier to read." Nintendo has improved productivity in the support
- department 95% by automating their HelpDesk with HEAT.
-
- In addition to the phenomenal success of the new report writer, other new
- features include streamlined call logging processes, allowing users to
- access information up to 75% faster, with crucial call history data
- available on the same screen. A rolodex card file interface allows the
- operator to see which of the screen elements contain helpful information
- regarding the caller. Call Types can be added from the Call Log screen "on
- the fly" and the system has no limits on the number of Customer Types.
-
- A "Quick Close" option enables the user to close a call at any stage.
- Boolean logic has been implemented in the call logging and reporting areas
- and allows enhanced search and retrieve capabilities. And enhanced
- navigation of the knowledge base makes it even easier to reach the
- knowledge and solutions in HEAT's "ExpertAssist".
-
- Even HEAT's standard features are head and shoulders above the rest. HEAT
- is still the only PC/LAN HelpDesk automation software with mainframe
- interface capabilities. HEAT is also the only HelpDesk software that is
- almost completely user-definable and can be customized to each individual
- HelpDesk's specifications.
-
- Quality, service, efficiency, do more with less, do it better and faster
- than before. These concepts are the buzzwords that can make or break a
- company competing in the increasingly service oriented marketplace today.
- HEAT increases the productivity of HelpDesk personnel by speeding problem
- determination, reducing paperwork and down time, as well as improving
- response time. HEAT streamlines internal efficiency, while at the same
- time improving external customer service operations by automating the
- HelpDesk and providing expert assistance to all HelpDesk staffers. And
- improving efficiency and service are key ingredients to improving a
- company's bottom line.
-
- HEAT was developed by Bendata and the input, efforts and financial interest
- of 28 major North American corporations in 1989-90. This original
- consortium of companies contributed HelpDesk-specific goals and objectives
- toward the original design of the software. As a result, HEAT is the only
- HelpDesk software designed by HelpDesk professionals for HelpDesk
- professionals.
