Gartner analysts Michael Maoz and Johan Jacobs underline the importance of first-rate customer service: “As customers interact across more communication channels, providing consistent and satisfying customer service becomes more challenging. (…) Key to customer satisfaction are great customer experiences, such as intuitive websites, engaging content, and fast, convenient and accurate service.” (“Hype Cycle for CRM Customer Service and Support”, published: 18 July 2011)
TRICENTIS provides customers with diverse support opportunities. In addition to free telephone and e-mail support, ticketing system and remote support sessions, TRICENTIS offers the TOSCA Live Chat, which is available for customers, prospects and partners. In the TOSCA Support Portal customers can find the latest product updates and downloads and share best practices with members in the interactive TOSCA support forum.

According to ASP Executive Director, Jeffrey Tarter, "web-based support has evolved far beyond its origins as a low-cost channel for delivering break-fix solutions. The trend-setters now use their support sites as a platform for hosting large user communities, for delivering skills training, and for interacting with customers over the whole life-cycle of product ownership. In turn, customers tend to reward these companies with higher satisfaction scores and long-term loyalty."
Wolfgang Platz, CEO and founder of TRICENTIS, states: “TRICENTIS invests extensively in our software testing and support expertise and delivers a world class Support Portal to our 300+ customers and partners. The measure of excellent service is not only when things go well, but even more so when incidents and problems arise. The TOSCA Support Team makes it possible for our customers to save time and effort and to improve the quality and efficiency of software testing. We pride ourselves on providing both excellent software and support.”
