news Customer Service Response Times

If you haven't subscribed to our Youtube Channel please click the link below, subscribe and also click the bell icon to get notified when we publish a new video.  Our goal this year is to significantly increase the number of videos we are publishing.  We currently have just under 200 videos with nearly 50,000 views.  Most of our videos are instructional product related videos, and a few are amusing.

Our latest coreCAST is about customer service which is SO IMPORTANT for us.  Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations.  We know it's been tough lately, we are adding more staff and if you know someone that you think would be a great addition to our team, please have them email me their resume directly to:  ezra.weinstein@coreware.com.

 

 

news Bug Fixes

We have many new customers so I wanted to let everyone know how we address bugs. Wait...did we just say bugs?  Yes BUGS!  EVERY SOFTWARE APPLICATION has bugs.  It's the nature of the beast.  The more features a software application has, the more bugs it has.  Our goal is always to squash those pesky bugs, but sometimes that's easier said than done.  The hardest bugs to squash are the ones that we cannot recreate.

Typically we categorize bugs based on priority.  Any urgent bugs are fixed and deployed ASAP, we do not wait for our regular update cycle.  We are fixing bugs every day, we don't list the bugs we fixed because many bugs are unique to a particular customer, and many are not experienced by most users.  But rest assured, we are always at work addressing these bugs.  Keep in mind, the longer it takes us to fix a bug, the more users report it, and the more tickets come in which of course frustrates our customer service team.  

Always remember - WE ARE NOT THE ENEMY!  We are doing our best, and a problem that affects you, affects us too, an issue that costs you time and money has the same exact effect on us.  We are in this together and our entire goal is to make your lives easier.  Please keep that in mind and PLEASE be patient with us.
