If you are an academic institution looking to improve the quality of customer service provided to your students online EdQA is an hosted solution that provides a very cost-effective high-quality solution.

Based on the WebQA dynamic frequently asked questions engine and knowledge base software, EdQA allows students or customers in any sector to get faster and more precise answers online.

WebQA provides the ability to share knowledge using your Web site. This can include answering customer questions and sharing knowledge throughout your organization.

A system as WebQA/EdQA reduces customer support work and need for many dedicated human resources, reducing the stress load and the costs involved.

The system also helps prioritise the most frequent questions as well as the suggested answers. WebQA can even auto suggest answers before a customer or student starts submitting a manual request.

From a troubleshooting standpoint the system can also help immensely by simplifying the process of pinpointing repetitive problems or issues which maybe part of the release of a new Intranet, the availability of a new software, a new enterprise application or a newly designed web site.

WebQA can be fully integrated with the design of your web site and its management is completely browser-based. There is absolutely no hardware or software to install.

In summary WebQA allows organizations to:

· Instantly Answer and Track customers questions through your website

· Build a Knowledge Base of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) and their answers

· Create an on-line Personal Relationship with new and existing customers

· Reduce Cost and Frequency of incoming phone calls and e-mails
