Ortivus Support Rocks!


 

Ortivus believes that in this era of automation and minimal human contact, successful companies will find customers craving support services that actually involve human contact. How many times have you been on a voice-automated telephone system and just wanted a human to answer so that you could tell them exactly what you needed…which was not covered in any of the previous options listed (i.e. “If you would like…push 1”)? Or, perhaps you’ve had an immediate need and just wanted a simple answer, but the process of getting that answer seemed analogous to running a marathon? How many times have you just wanted to speak with someone knowledgeable who understood your question or wanted the assurance that a human was following through on something for you? Ortivus is dedicated to providing the type of customer service that our customers want. If you’ve read the Customer Spotlight article in this edition of OrtivusTALK yet, you may have noticed that Jim Isbell, Director of IS, Northstar Paramedic Services, Tuscaloosa, AL, speaks with great wisdom when offering his advice:

“Too often companies are compelled to own technology for technology’s sake and not with an eye to what the organization’s goals are, and that leads to a lot of ‘forgotten’ or ‘ignored’ systems. We believe it is very important to not only look at what you want from technology in terms of use and ROI, but to also look at who stands behind the product. Can you talk to them? Are they genuinely interested in solving your problem in a timely manner? If you can’t trust who is selling and supporting your solutions, then you may as well plan on trashing your investment and moving on to another vendor.”

With so many software companies flooding the market in this era of technology, a trend is becoming apparent: the actual software programs themselves are looking more and more alike while the people standing behind the technology is the differentiating force that separates the ‘good’ from the ‘not-so-good.’ We realize that the most credible source for rating and defining the superiority of Sweet software support is our customers:

“I have dealt with a lot of support departments and Ortivus’ is by far above any I have worked with previously. Each person I have spoken with has been very personable and knowledgeable. I had anticipated this support project to be such a tremendous job and the Ortivus Support team made the process very smooth. The Ortivus website has an over abundance of information and I’ve never seen anything quite like it. I am very impressed.”

Mike Sloan, IT Coordinator
Rochester Police Department, Rochester, MN

“I would like to commend Calin Foale for the outstanding customer support he has provided to us.
Calin has done an excellent job supporting your products/our system and has also made us aware of application options that we were not aware of that have proven to be very beneficial to our organization.”

So, we’ll leave you with our slogan – ensuring that it is more than just words…it’s what we strive for daily:
Commitment to industry knowledge – commitment to superior customer service – and commitment to the latest advancements in technology are all foundational components of the Ortivus vision. In addition to development of the best software in the Public Safety and EMS industries, Ortivus continually searches for ways of improving the ‘customer experience.’
