We really want to know how we’re doing…so we’re going to start asking

We really want to know how we’re doing…so we’re going to start asking

Posted: 29 Nov 2012 11:20 AM PST

Last year, we began to ask you a simple question on a quarterly basis: “On a scale of zero to ten, how likely is it that you would recommend OpenSRS to a friend or colleague?” This was a global survey that related to OpenSRS as a whole.

This one simple question is the cornerstone of the Net Promoter Score model currently in use with many global brands and industry leaders such as Intuit, Zappos and Apple.

Starting on December 4, 2012, you will be asked to answer this question after every interaction you have with Reseller Support.

Your answer to the question will provide us with valuable feedback concerning how you feel about your interactions with Reseller Support, whether it is by phone, email or chat.

Why are we doing this?

  • To identify what we do well
  • To find out where we are coming up short
  • To follow up and fix issues in a timely manner when things go off the rails
  • To give you a chance to voice your opinion and help us improve future support interactions

How will it work?

Beginning December 4, 2012, you will start to receive an email a few hours after your support request is closed.

This email will ask that one simple question: “On a scale of zero to ten, how likely is it that you would recommend OpenSRS to a friend or colleague?” based on your most recent support request. It will also provide a free form text field for any comments you may wish to add. We ask that you score the support interaction and provide any relevant comments.

We understand (based on feedback from past surveys) that the question seems a bit odd to some of you. Putting aside the notion that you’d be suggesting that someone start a business that might be in direct competition with you, we ask that you consider it hypothetically and honestly. Assuming it would have no impact on your own business and you would like the other person to be successful, would you suggest to them that they use OpenSRS?

What happens to the data?

Management or support staff will review each and every response. Depending on the your response, follow up communication may occur.

Thanks in advance for your help and honest responses. We really do value your opinions and we look forward to providing an improved support experience to you.

New Webmail Transition Update

New Webmail Transition Update


New Webmail Transition Update

Posted: 27 Nov 2012 10:27 AM PST

It’s been about three weeks since all users of OpenSRS Email Service were moved to the latest version of our webmail application.

Since the switchover, we’ve heard some great feedback from you and your customers. We know from experience that users are generally resistant to change, so we always go into these webmail upgrades with a bit of trepidation. Forcing change on people who might not immediately see the benefit can result in some unpleasant feelings for the users, and often has an impact on you and your support staff as users are supported through the change.

As hard as change can be, we knew that webmail was getting a bit long in the tooth and the new version brings some ease-of-use features and other changes that we feel makes it worth the effort.

Thanks for the great feedback

As mentioned, we’ve received great feedback over the last few months when the new webmail was first made available to users. Now that we have many more people using webmail as the default, we’ve identified a few bugs that weren’t exposed in the months of limited release and by our extensive internal testing. Some of the minor bugs (small visual or usability issues) have already been fixed.

We’ve also learned about some bigger issues including things like a printing bug that was discovered in certain situations when using IE8, some problems with Scandinavian language display, and a visual issue with the Address Book when performing certain tasks. Additionally, we’ve identified some performance and speed issues in certain circumstances.

Our development and operations teams are working hard to fix these bugs and issues – fixes will be implemented in a matter of days in some cases, and over the next few weeks in other cases. Overall speed and performance is something that we are continually working to improve and we’ve made that a high priority in the near term.

Let us know what you think

Thanks again for the feedback – keep it coming! Drop by the Help & Support site and let us know what you or your users are seeing (good and bad), or get in touch with Support via email or phone.

Happy Thanksgiving to our US Friends

Posted: 21 Nov 2012 05:10 AM PST

Thursday, November 22, 2012 is Thanksgiving Day in the US. While we’re definitely thankful for a multitude of various things up here in Canada where OpenSRS is based, tomorrow is not a holiday for us. As a result, we’ll be staffed as usual in all departments.

We wish our American friends a Happy Thanksgiving and we hope you have an enjoyable day of rest and relaxation with family and friends.
