OpenText Customer Self-Service 
Facelift

Last year, we launched the first phase of updates to the Cusomter Self-Service site. All features and functions were created or improved on based on feedback from you and our support staff. 

Stop Repeating Yourself

Then, we introduced the crazy idea of "knowing you better than your pizza joint" by launching an Environment tab so you don't have to answer the same questions over and over and over and over and....

 

CSS Phase 2

Today, we're happy to announce the next phase of improvements!  There's quite a few, so sit back and enjoy the show!

Today's Celebrity Interview topic is really cool, but I have a couple of disclaimers that I would like to note before you sit back with your coffee and watch:

  1. This was my first time using Skype™ for an interview, so the quality is not quite perfect. I'll have to practice a bit more to get these types of interviews right.
  2. Secondly, and most important, I recorded this on Monday morning, and when I was editing the video I realized that my level of enthusiasm is a bit low and I'm not quite awake yet .  
    So, I kindly ask you not to view this in full screen mode .  (Note to self….don't produce videos on Monday mornings!)

I work on the Knowledge Center team and have to confess that I’ve been holding back a big secret!  Over the past few months, the team has analyzed customer feedback about the usability of the site.  Based on this, we came up with a prototype design and invited many customers, partners, and staff to preview the proposed changes.  The ideas and suggestions we got from the preview prompted many updates to the prototype, and we’re finally ready to announce the big news!

I’m just one of the team members that worked on this update and upgrade, so I wanted to give my boss a chance to blog about all of the great things that her team, and other key supporting teams at OpenText, has done to improve the customer experience on the Knowledge Center.

So, let me introduce you to our guest blogger!

On October 15, 2011, The Knowledge Center (KC) - which is powered by Content Server—will be upgraded to version 10.0.0.

With the upgrade, we are introducing many exciting and dynamic features in response to customer and employee feedback, which will help improve the KC experience. For now, we wanted to share the first of many changes you can expect to see over the next year.

 
Simplified interface

We have cleaned up the interface and removed irrelevant clutter.

Streamlined navigation

Improved navigation to the available resources.

Enhanced features

We have added features that improve findability and interaction.

Social capabilities

We have enabled KC users to comment, rate, and share information.

 
Get a sneak peek of the upcoming improvements by watching the video.
