Quotes:

Kevin: The impact of training on the system

“As our knowledge base has grown, as our training has become more systematized, we've seen a kind of a corresponding decrease in support tickets, just overall volume across systems. I wouldn't say anything scientifically. But generally, as a trend, the training, and the upfront orientation have improved. We've seen the systems themselves start to operate on a greater scale, and with less moment-to-moment or day-to-day intervention.

Jessica: Being proactive, instead of reactive

“I think it gets back to people want to self serve. They wanna feel like they can either understand the system intuitively or they can find the answer really quickly. And it just goes to show, system administrators, and we've seen this within Pica9 itself as well, is that people wanna be proactive. They don't wanna be reactive. They wanna think, you know, within what am I reasonably going to get and how can I not get pecked to death with like one-off questions of, you know, 'hey, um, I don't understand this.'”
