Enhanced System Delivers Customer Value from Day One

"We were extremely pleased with EDL's ability to deliver a quality solution that met our aggressive timeline," said Tim Maskrey, Sr. Manager Service Operations, Citrix Online Division. "EDL leveraged their extensive knowledge of our business to drive the project to a go live in just ten weeks, and ensured the use of best practices."

EDL leveraged their extensive experience in Enterprise Integration to put critical customer information in the hands of over 120 agents working to assist customers. The infrastructure put in place allows agents to recognize customers requesting support and provides visibility into key support and operational data agents use to resolve customer issues. EDL put in place a unique solution that allows agents to modify certain support parameters for customers and automatically keep a history of the changes for further reference.
