Help 2.0: Understanding The Role Technical Support Content Plays In Developing Meaningful Customer Experiences

Adobe Events - Tue, 08/09/2011 - 10:00am

When we started our well-intentioned move from providing users with paper-based documentation to providing them with electronic access to technical support content, we used the web as just another channel: Help 1.0. We populated websites with digital copies of printed documentation—downloadable, keyword-searchable PDF files. And, we repurposed content from printed manuals, pushing it to other digital formats (e.g., online help, CD, DVD). While these were all steps in the right direction, and at the time, the best methods for helping customers find information they need, they are no longer acceptable support solutions.

During this Adobe eSeminar, TCS Evangelist Thomas Aldous will interview content strategist Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler, about Help 2.0. You'll learn how letting go of old school, preconceived notions about technical support have helped some of the world's biggest brands create engaging customer experiences. You'll find out how leveraging the knowledge of the crowd is helping users find the right information quickly and easily, regardless of who created the content. And, perhaps most importantly, you'll discover how adopting a Help 2.0 approach helps these organizations increase sales, reduce customer frustration and build meaningful customer relationships.

About Scott Abel

Scott Abel, aka The Content Wrangler, is an internationally-recognized content management strategist and social networking choreographer whose strengths lie in helping global organizations improve the way they author, maintain, and deliver information.

In addition to his popular business blog, TheContentWrangler.com, an online resource for content professionals with an interest in content management, content standards and content technologies, Scott maintains several online communities on Facebook and Linkedin, and is a popular and influential technology blogger on Twitter. He also manages the social networking activities for several software and services firms in the high technology and digital mobile publishing arenas.
