LiveSupport(TM) Software Enables IT Help Desks and Contact Centers to Control Customers' Computers Remotely

SALT LAKE CITY, UT -- Feb. 23, 2005 -- Blue Squirrel, Inc., a pioneer in online information management technologies since 1995, today announced the availability of LiveSupport. A technician's dream, LiveSupport enables support personnel to control customers' computers remotely and resolve issues.

A simple problem resolution technology for IT help desks and contact centers, LiveSupport, lowers total call volumes due to fewer repeat calls, speeds up process to handle more complex incidents, and increases first-call resolutions. With LiveSupport a customer downloads a small file, and the customer screen appears on the technician's computer screen with the technician in control. The customer watches while the problem is fixed, the technician disconnects, the software is automatically uninstalled and a message appears letting the customer know the software has been safely uninstalled.

    LiveSupport Features:
     *  Direct Connect -- LAN/WAN or Internet connection is made directly from
        the customer to the technician's workstation.  No third-party servers
        can go down, or have reliability problems.
     *  Multiple Sessions -- A technician can have multiple sessions with
        unlimited customers.
     *  File Transfer -- A technician can transfer files either to or from the
        customer system.
     *  Clipboard Support -- Copy and paste to/from the customer computer.
     *  Chat -- A technician can open a chat window and converse with the
        customer to give additional instructions or answer questions.
     *  Automatic Uninstall -- The program is removed from the customer's
        computer when the technician disconnects.
     *  Security -- The connection can only be initiated outbound by a
        customer to a technician's workstation.
