Cornerstone Information Systems, Inc. is a technology company helping the world’s largest companies in the travel industry solve complex problems through their data management, automation, and analytics solutions.
Service Agents at Cornerstone were inundated with trivial issues that had already been solved in the past, hindering them from providing solutions to unique, complex, and critical issues in a timely manner. At a conference, Cornerstone made the promise to their customers that they would provide faster support.
Vicasso implemented an online customer community for Cornerstone, empowering their customers to find answers to their questions in a knowledge base before submitting a case to the service team. Product ideas are exposed through the customer community, enabling customers to submit and comment on feature requests and enhancements. Furthermore, customers now have access to their account details and case history resulting in higher engagement.
As a result of implementing self-help resources, Cornerstone decreased the number of cases created. By implementing a customer community, Cornerstone delivered on the promise they had made of providing faster support.
