For this they chose the Cisco Connected Imaging solution built on its safe and secure Medical-Grade Network. Connected Imaging delivers imaging as a service from the Medical-Grade Network using Cisco Unified Communications and advanced data center technologies.

Bureau van Dijk Electronic Publishing's existing phone system could not keep up with the company's rapid growth in the Asia Pacific in the last two years. Staff had to remember extensive codes for each function on their phone, a feat that was becoming increasingly difficult as the number of staff increased. The company was also facing difficulty in adding new extensions quickly and holding multi-party conference calls proved a challenge. Bureau van Dijk Electronic Publishing decided to deploy Avaya systems in their new office, which would not only help them save on telephone bills, but also increase productivity of sales managers and support staff. The Avaya solution allowed BvDEP to add new extensions easily in-house.

Rethink customer service, however, and it can become a strategic weapon that fosters growth and competitive advantage.

If you've flown lately, you know the drill: long lines, delayed flights and higher ticket prices. Consumers have come to expect no less, and no more, from air travel. Even without the stress from a struggling economy, air travel in particular tends to bring about discomfort, dissatisfaction and anxiety, both for employees and for customers.

The joke used to be on the U.S. Postal Service. Indeed, jabs about the government's mail system may have driven business to private-sector competitors like United Parcel Service, Federal Express and DHL. That was decades ago; now, it seems, some of the same companies designed to outperform the USPS have attracted complaints about sluggish deliveries and failure to deliver.

Loyal customers can be tough to find. So why do some companies run them off with crappy customer service? Often because the employees who care have no authority to fix problems, and those with the authority don't care. Today, let's hear the story of reader Boyd, his Dell XPS420, and the data corruption problems he had when running a disk array. Then let's hear how two other small service companies do much better support.

Memo to telecom service providers: "We never thanked you, but you did a great job offering us consolidated billing.

Three bills for ISP, cable and telephone, and usually three different due dates as well."

When Bob Pinion and his son bought a small sports bar in Palatine last year, they hadn't counted on paying to have their electricity hooked up. So it was a bit of a shock when ComEd asked for a $2,850 deposit to get the power flowing. Pinion paid the money because he had no choice. But he eagerly awaited the day when he would get the deposit back.

As the economy is forcing companies to cut costs -- or at least scaring them into doing so -- one important aspect of business is being left behind in the panic: customer service. For the past few decades it has taken a backseat because of budget cuts, outsourcing, and the loss of talented staff. As companies go down to the bare minimums this coming year, sadly this trend might continue.

That a journey through deepest Transylvania should be a hair-raising experience is not that surprising. But it was the partially surfaced roads, seemingly non-existent speed limit and renegade horse-and-cart drivers – rather than shades of Gothic horror – that made our drive from Brasov to Zabola an alarming 45 minutes. Drawing up at the tall iron gates of the estate at dusk, however, our spirits lifted – this was the kind of entrance that would have made Dracula proud.
