Inmagic Technical Support

Last month we introduced to you our new Customer Service Desk and manager Bob Duncan. This month it's time to meet the Inmagic Technical Support team and gain an understanding of how the customer service desk and technical support team work together to support our customers. Two key differences between the customer service desk and technical support team are the audiences they serve and questions answered. The customer service desk is here to serve as an information desk to either point you in the right direction to answer your question or provide you with basic information whether or not you are a maintenance customer. Whereas technical support is strictly for our customers on maintenance to provide support on issues directly related to Inmagic products.

The Inmagic Technical Support team is available specifically for our maintenance customers to help them with technical questions or problems encountered when using their Inmagic products. Typically, it is best to contact technical support when you have a question or there is an issue with how the software works. This can involve configuration, installation, upgrades and general use of the software. Additionally, Technical Support provides assistance in understanding how the products work or how to use them.

Introducing you to the members of Technical Support
Together the Technical Support team – Michael Segur and Michele Murray – bring over 20 years experience providing technical support in the software industry. Michele Murray has 18 years combined technical support and pre-sales support experience in the software industry. In the 6 months that Michele has been here she has proven to be a valuable member of the team. Michael Segur holds an MLS degree in Library Science, and has over 7 years experience in supporting library applications. Mike has been with Inmagic for nearly 2 years, and his philosophy of always helping others where possible has made him a great resource for us. Michael says, "I derive satisfaction from being able to help customers - always striving to be better at it."

At Inmagic, Technical Support falls directly under the supervision of Lourdes Engel, Vice President of Engineering and Technical Support. This allows for communication not only from engineering to technical support with the most up-to-date product information, but also provides our customers with a voice directly to the development team. Michele and Michael serve a valuable role in not only supporting our customers, but also in communicating with development about issues or new feature requests they are hearing from customers.

Contacting Technical Support
If you have a technical question or problem, you may e-mail details to support@inmagic.com (please include the full text of any error messages you receive and what you were doing when the error occurred). Alternatively you can call Technical Support at 1.800.229.8398 (+1 781.938.4444) and Press 3 to speak with a Technical Support representative. Remember, technical support is only for our customers with an up-to-date maintenance contract.

Escalation Process
Should a technichal support question not be resolved to your satisfaction, after talking with Michael or Michele, you may take your question up with Lourdes Engel, Vice President of Engineering and Technical Support, directly. Her e-mail is .

Inmagic ODBC Driver for Content Server Now Available

We are pleased to announce the release of the Inmagic® ODBC Driver for Content Server version 1.30, available to our Content Server customers as part of their current maintenance contract. Available for both the desktop and servers, the ODBC Driver for Content Server can be used to develop custom or vertical applications that retrieve and manipulate data from Inmagic® Content Server textbases. Customers can combine data from multiple textbases, combine data from Content Server with data from other databases, or use third-party applications. The ODBC Driver allows customers to create Web-based applications, such as editing database records from a Web browser, or build Web applications using third-party Web development tools.

We recognize that not all our customers use or even need the ODBC Driver for Content Server - that is why we are announcing the release here. Content Server customers, on maintenance, as part of their maintenance contract, may request the ODBC Driver by contacting advantage@inmagic.com. Include your company name and Content Server serial number. Once we receive this information, we will send you an e-mail with the appropriate information for downloading the driver.
