Will our organisation have a dedicated Account Manager?

SupportAbility does not use dedicated account managers or customer service liaisons. 

We ensure that all members of our Customer Success team have an understanding of each of our subscribers, especially those in the implementation process. 

We provide all our customers with equal priority support via our helpdesk ticketing system.

Can any Staff Member contact SupportAbility for assistance? 

An organisation's Authorised Customer Representatives must provide first-tier support. In addition to this, system training must also be provided by the subscribing organisation. 

If an Authorised Customer Representative is unable to resolve a user request, they are required to escalate the issue/enquiry on behalf of the Staff Member via email to support@supportability.com.au

Unlimited second-tier email support is included as part of your SupportAbility subscription, provided all support queries are managed internally first and channelled via these individuals when escalation is required.

It is important that Staff Members understand who the best person is to go to if they encounter any issues with SupportAbility. 

To clarify, the 1800 number on our website is our sales hotline only, and the best way to receive prompt support is for your organisation's Authorised Customer Representatives to send an email to us via support, as this comes through to our helpdesk ticketing system which is actively monitored during support hours.
