Chat Highlights
- Christina Roosen | Akamai | California: We’re in the process of integrating our web case management tools into our community platform. Because of the profile of our users, community is actually the least-used of our self-service resources and we’re working to transform our site into a complete online services and support hub with the community as only one part of the ecosystem.
- Adam Mullen | athenahealth | Remote, Maine, US: sourcing community blog posts via community writers (or support agent writers) – very cool idea! Thanks for sharing!
- Kendall Brenneise | F5: Food for thought regarding an unwillingness to host a community for worry of users talking to each other…X (twitter), Reddit, stackoverflow, etc. will fill that void of a lack of a community.
- Jason O’Donnell | Lam Research | PDX: One of the reasons why “Trust” is one of the core principles for KCS and the Consortium. 🙂
- Kelly Murray | Consortium | Seattle: We have so many opportunities to let go of our illusion of control! 😂
- Lynette Ledoux | SearchUnify | New Orleans: And opportunities to recognize valuable contributions, both from employees and customers!
