New Support Website
New Moab® Technical Support Site
As part of our ongoing commitment to extend the value of your Moab solution, Adaptive Computing is excited to announce that we launched a new and improved technical support site in December. The new site features several enhancements designed to better support your organization in using Moab® and other offerings including:
- A new searchable knowledge base to help you find resolutions quickly and easily
- Faster response times to support tickets with improved routing and monitoring
- Simplified tracking of your support tickets to make it easy for you to see the current status and actions taken on your requests
- A single, easy-to-use web portal and login for both your support requests and the downloads you need (coming soon)
During December, your designated technical support contacts received a personalized email notifying them of the availability of the new site. This email also contained their personal temporary password, login instructions, and a quick tutorial document on how to use the new site. Access the new support site at http://support.adaptivecomputing.com.
You can contact your account representative or send an email to accountinfo@adaptivecomputing.com to request access.
