ELSA Expands Technical Support in the Internet

New knowledge base offers help around the clock

March 16, 1999 - ELSA provides all users of its products with a user-friendly and comprehensive knowledge base which is accessible via Internet. All necessary information about the products and support for ELSA solutions can be found under www.elsa.com/support. The intuitive menu navigation and database query functions guarantee the quick and simple discovery of the information required. By using these innovative web technologies, ELSA thus offers around-the-clock support for every user.

The information in the knowledge base goes into great depth to explain, for example, the installation and fine tuning of an ELSA graphics board for certain PC or games environments. Tips and tricks for the various products are also to be found, even including cleaning notices to extend the life of ELSA ECOMO monitors.

ELSA offers various access possibilities to the knowledge base so that every user can access the information as he prefers. Selection is based on product-specific lists of the latest FAQs (frequently asked questions), on search options based on product and application software, and a full text search engine of the entire knowledge base. Should the customer not find an answer in the knowledge base, personal aid is also available with the help of ELSA's interactive web query formulae, which guarantee a fast and efficient solution directly from ELSA support specialists.

Feedback is positively encouraged! By accessing "Please send us you feedback", ELSA presents every user of ELSA support with the opportunity to give helpful comments and constructive criticism, and so to help in the design of the services of the future.
