How can site visits help us?
I’m sometimes asked by customers about the value of the service, and whether they should add it on to their support contract.
Customer site visits are a vital component of the support service we provide. They involve a qualified Sysmex staff member
spending time at your site to review how our software is performing and offering assistance with any specific issues.

“ Site visits offer a variety of benefits and customers often tell us thatthey have provided valuable insight into how they could use our products
more effectively.”

Site visits offer several benefits over and above a standard support contract. Their main
objective is to make sure our products are functioning at their optimum level. Seeing
the software operating in your environment is the best way for us to do this. During thevisit, we can observe how you use the software and any specific areas or functionalitythat may not be working for your organisation or workflow. Sometimes problems
are difficult to communicate over email or phone, and users may have figured out aworkaround rather than logging a support request.
Site visits also provide an excellent opportunity to capture any ideas or suggestions you
may have for future enhancements to our products.
Site visit agendas are individually planned at the beginning of the year to ensure you get the most benefit out of the visits.
Activities that can be undertaken during a site visit include identification of future training requirements, training to help withparticular issues, auditing, requirement gathering, workflow analysis, problem-solving or other specific requests. Being on-site, wecan check that the software is configured correctly for your workflow, and may be able to suggest improvements. For example, amulti-day site visit could incorporate time allocated to resolving a particular problem, followed by training on the subject so thatend users are able to manage the same situation themselves in the future.
Following each site visit, a comprehensive report detailing the events of the visit, andany recommendations for improvements or software configuration changes can becompiled and provided to you for future reference.
From our perspective, site visits increase our knowledge of the unique workflows
and processes that may be specific to each individual site and help us build better
relationships with the end-users of our software. Both of which assist in improving ourin-house support processes so that we can provide more beneficial responses to future
support requests.
Site visits offer a variety of benefits and customers often tell us that they have provided valuable insight into how they could use
our products more effectively. They also allow us the opportunity to build a stronger working relationship with you and make sure
we continue to meet your needs into the future.
