We’re living in uncertain times with the widespread of the coronavirus pandemic, and a lot of companies are struggling to adjust their business plans to this fragile situation. Now that we have no way to initiate manual workarounds, the common misconception amongst entrepreneurs is that their business is purely gambling on luck. Many organizations haven’t activated a new Business Continuity Plan (BCP) yet or actually don’t have a plan at all; it is more like a ‘business-as-usual’ situation for them despite the enormous unparalleled challenges that COVID-19 poses to their operations.
Our traditional business continuity plans revolved around shifting the manufacturing units or offices to a different location in case they were struck with a flood, hurricane, or any other natural calamity. However, this is different; it is an unprecedented situation. No one saw this coming; no one was prepared for this big change. Overnight, the entire world was forced to adapt to a new remote working environment and adjust to this new normal. It is time to change your definition of Business Continuity Plan and start recovering the activities that have been disrupted due to the pandemic.

With the sudden shift of businesses to a remote working environment, the Help Desks are overwhelmed with the sudden surge in redundant requests from customers seeking support. What if your clients seek details regarding the past collaboration? What if they need support post office hours? Of course, you wouldn’t want your clients to keep pestering your team to seek trivial details, while they are struggling to adjust to this new remote working scenario.
What if we tell you that you can offer your customers self-advantage capacities to suffice complex needs most conveniently? A customer portal is a digital self-service support channel that helps your clients to find solutions to their requests and resolve their issues without using the Help Desk. It enables you to diminish caseloads by allowing the clients to get a login and view the progress of the case details by themselves.
