Looking beyond the numbers
Support performance is not only about how quickly we respond. It is also about understanding why issues happen in the first place.
During July, we are focusing heavily on root cause analysis. This means looking more closely at repeat problems, recurring support themes, and areas of the software where customers are seeing the same kinds of issues more than once.
The aim is simple: to reduce avoidable tickets and give our customers a smoother, more reliable software experience.
Where we identify repeat issues, we will be working with the wider development team to improve processes, update guidance, enhance training material, and, where needed, make changes to the software itself.
Release 42 is now live
We have also recently completed and deployed Release 42 of Alpha Tracker.
This release includes a wide range of improvements and should help reduce ticket volumes over time, particularly in areas linked to performance. We know that software speed and responsiveness have a direct impact on day-to-day user experience, so this has been an important focus for the team.
As more customers move onto Release 42, we expect to see fewer performance-related support requests and a better overall experience for users.
Thank you
As always, thank you to our customers for continuing to work with us, report issues clearly, and provide feedback. Your input helps us improve Alpha Tracker and our other systems month by month.
And thank you to the Support Desk team for another excellent month, especially during a busy period.
We are pleased with June’s results, but we are not standing still. July is about digging deeper, fixing repeat problems, and continuing to improve the experience for everyone.
