June 1, 1992, Colorado Springs, Colorado. HelpDesk software developer Bendata Management Systems began shipment today of a new version of HEAT; the HelpDesk Expert Automation Tool. Version 2.0 expands on HEAT's already impressive list of HelpDesk automation features and capabilities, and is recognized in the HelpDesk Industry as the standard of HelpDesk automation software. New feature highlights include a completely new report writer, enabling users to capture more information quicker and easier, and streamlined call logging processes, allowing users to access information up to 75% faster, with crucial call history data available on the same screen. A rolodex card file interface allows the operator to see which of the screen elements contain helpful information regarding the caller. Call Types can be added from the Call Logging screen "on the fly" and the system has no limits on the number of Customer Types that can be designated. Boolean logic has been implemented in the call logging and reporting areas and allows enhanced search and retrieve capabilities. Enhanced navigation of the knowledge base makes it even easier and quicker to reach the knowledge and solutions in HEAT's "ExpertAssist". Completely rewritten in Clipper 5, the new database structures have reduced memory requirements which have reduced network traffic and increased performance in nearly every facet. HEAT is still the only PC/LAN HelpDesk automation software with mainframe interface capabilities, as well as being the only HelpDesk software that is almost completely user-defineable and customizeable to each HelpDesk's individual specifications. HEAT streamlines internal efficiency, while at the same time improving external customer service operations by automating the HelpDesk and providing expert assistance to all HelpDesk staffers. HEAT was developed by Bendata and the input, efforts and financial interest of 28 major North American corporations in 1989-90. This original consortium of companies contributed HelpDesk-specific goals and objectives toward the original design of the software. As a result, HEAT is the only HelpDesk software designed by HelpDesk professionals for HelpDesk professionals. Bendata Management Systems, Inc. is a developer and marketer of products for HelpDesk Customer Support Centers.
