Support is a Privilege, Not a Right
QUOTE: Support is a Privilege, Not
While InstallAware support often goes above and over the call of
a Right
duty to provide knowledgable, timely assistance to all our
potential and current clients, support is not your right - even if
you are a paid user of InstallAware.

As explicitly stated in the InstallAware EULA which must be
accepted both when installing a product trial or a purchased
version, your purchase comes with NO SUPPORT
RIGHTS whatsoever.

Your access to any and all InstallAware support resources,
including but not limited to peer forums, community
center, email based support, and phone support may be revoked
at any time, with or without reason.

#sdec11

Recognize

Our customers are whole people.

#sdec11

Users are dumb

#sdec11

The operating moral premise of information
design should be that our readers are alert and
caring; they may be busy, eager to get on with it,
but they are not stupid.

Edward Tufte, Envisioning Information. Cheshire, CT: Graphics Press, 1990

#sdec11

#sdec11

It is not a question of whether users
are capable of overcoming complexity and
learning an advanced user interface. It is a
question of whether they are willing to do so.

[Our users] are just like anybody else: they just
want to get their work done. They have neither
the desire nor the time to learn the
idiosyncrasies of individual websites.

#sdec11

When people have problems using a design,
it's not because they are stupid.
It's because the design is too difficult.

Let’s start designing
from the outside in.

Customer Experience Mapping

#sdec11

Customer Experience Mapping
• Represent the journey of a customer
including the before, during, and after using the service.

• Include:
– phases that span the interaction (e.g. Anticipate, Enter, Engage, Exit, & Reflect)
– triggers
– touch points
– interactions
– customer motivations
– customer goals / business goals
– potential frustrations
– opportunities for delight
– anything else that helps your team picture the experience you are creating
