This is the crux of the problem. The information systems that support teams
use can make the difference between superb customer support and the kind of
experience you've related to us.
>From my experience the best systems:
- give a unique identifier to each customer incident so emails and phone
calls are all noted in the same place
- have the ability to link the incident to a service, location, device
and/or product
- in turn allow staff to see other incidents linked to same for correlation
- allow creation of a master ticket which is then visible within the same
view as the individual customer tickets
- the creation of a master ticket should ideally trigger an entry on the
public status page of the provider
