Types of Help and Support

Today’s technology provides the software vendor with a variety of methods in which to dispense Help and Support to its users.  We have found each method to have its own unique qualities that make it better suited under certain circumstances.

In general we appreciate and acknowledge the fact that most people do not enjoy reading technical manuals. With that in mind, we have decided here at TT&P Corporation to use several of these methodologies that we believe will provide you with the best service.  To list just a brief example of these methods:

 

  • Written Text -  The typical manual with text and illustrations.  Used when a verbose or conversational approach to a subject is needed.
  • Images with Callouts – Basically screenshots from the working program with “Balloon” type “short descriptions”.  Used when the subject can be quickly understood by showing a picture of the item with a   brief annotation.
  • Running Videos -  This type of help is gaining greater and greater acceptance as people realize that seeing a moving video image of a complicated process best conveys an understanding because it “mimics” real life situations that people can relate to.
  • Online Help – Software companies are well aware of the advantages that providing online help can offer.  For one thing, if everyone goes to the same place to receive help on the varied subjects, the vendor can update that source of help in one location and everyone from that point on is receiving the latest and greatest information about the selected subject.  We plan to provide you help online using some form of the three methods listed above.
  • Email Support -  Not everything you will need will be in a help file.  Under those circumstances you may email us with your question.  Our email address is  
                                     support@ttpcorporation.com
  • Telephone Support – You may also call us to receive answers to your questions. A certain amount of support is provided to each office and we simply request that you do not attempt to abuse it.  Extended support to offices that tend to ask for a inordinate amount of support will be assessed separate support fees.  Currently that number is (323) 292-0235.

 

Since access to most of our help will be provided via the Internet, you will need to have a working connection to the web.  Almost everyone nowadays has access to the Internet but if you work in an office where your “specific workstation” is not connected, you may need to temporarily ask a co-worker if you may borrow their terminal in order for you to look up a solution.

We wish the best of luck with our software.  We trust that you will find it to be a hardworking and reliable partner in your personal injury practice.
