Collaboration across Support and Marketing over content delivery

Presentation Abstract

By nature, customer support for mobile devices should be mobile: Always accessible, regardless where you are with the device and whether you have an online connection up or not. It is from this premise that we at Nokia Care Content Management started working together with the Phones development team some five years ago to come up with a mobile app that would service the needs of both consumers and business alike.

While initially the key drivers for the new Care application were to enable consumers instant access to both self and assisted support, and in the process save resources by moving content from in-box printed material to the app, right from the onset it was clear that this means of direct interaction with the consumer could be used for several other purposes too. Suddenly this seemingly “dull support area” was at the center of much attention and excitement. This presentation is about that journey and how we were able to combine the best of both worlds, user guidance with marketing consumer engagement.

What can attendees expect to learn?

  • One approach to providing support content through mobile devices
  • How to work with different stakeholders to deliver on consumer expectations while also serving key business needs with regards to consumer support
