In today's digitally driven world, accessibility is no longer a mere option—it's a necessity. As technology continues to permeate every aspect of our lives, ensuring that digital tools and services are accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities, is paramount. Accessible Help Desk emerges as a groundbreaking solution, building upon the capabilities of Remote Incident Manager (RIM), to provide fully accessible remote technical support tailored for blind and disabled end-users.
Accessible Help Desk is designed to bridge the gap in remote technical support for users with disabilities. By leveraging the only fully accessible remote desktop product, RIM, it offers a cost-effective and efficient solution for companies aiming to provide inclusive support services.
Scenario: A software company needs to provide technical support to blind users experiencing issues with their applications.
Solution: Accessible Help Desk enables agents to remotely assist blind users by directly controlling the user's screen reader or other assistive technologies. The system's fully accessible interface ensures that blind end-users can easily initiate support sessions without barriers.
Benefit: Enhances user satisfaction by providing immediate, effective support tailored to the needs of blind users, thereby fostering trust and loyalty.
Scenario: An organization with an established support system wants to incorporate accessible support without overhauling its current processes.
Solution: Accessible Help Desk can be seamlessly integrated into existing workflows through its robust API. Agents can initiate remote sessions within their familiar environment, and end-users can receive support without navigating new platforms.
Benefit: Saves time and resources by enhancing current systems rather than replacing them, while expanding support capabilities to include users with disabilities.
Scenario: An international software company aims to provide remote support to users across the globe in various languages without facing significant setup challenges.
Solution: By utilizing RIM, the company can leverage the thousands of users who already have RIM installed in many languages worldwide. Accessible Help Desk provides a one-click support experience, enabling immediate assistance regardless of language barriers.
Benefit: Reduces the need for extensive software distribution and language localization efforts, allowing for efficient global support and improved customer satisfaction.
Scenario: A customer service center employs both sighted and blind agents who need to provide remote support.
Solution: Accessible Help Desk offers two agent app options: a web application for sighted agents and the RIM desktop app for blind agents or those requiring specialized keyboard access.
Benefit: Promotes an inclusive workplace by accommodating agents with different needs, enhancing overall service quality and employee satisfaction.
Scenario: A multinational company needs to support end-users operating on various platforms without complicated installation procedures.
Solution: For view-only sessions, end-users do not need to install additional software, as sessions can be initiated through their web browsers. For full remote control sessions, the RIM desktop app supports multiple operating systems and offers straightforward installation guides.
Benefit: Reduces technical barriers for end-users, leading to quicker resolution times and improved user experiences across diverse environments.
Accessible Help Desk provides an out-of-the-box solution that can be embedded into a provider's website or application with minimal coding. End-users can initiate support sessions through a simple interface, selecting their preferred communication methods (text or voice) and the level of support needed (view-only or full control).
