Customer service and IT support staff now can connect to a customer screen from within a Zendesk ticket via TeamViewer
Tampa, Florida, (USA) – TeamViewer®, one of the world’s most popular providers of remote control and online meeting software, today announced full integration of TeamViewer remote support into Zendesk, the leading provider of cloud-based software for better customer service. Agents now can start secure TeamViewer support sessions directly from within a Zendesk ticket.
The integration is available for Zendesk customers. To use remote support with TeamViewer, customers need a valid TeamViewer license. Further information on TeamViewer licensing can be found at www.teamviewer.com/licensing.
The TeamViewer integration app can be downloaded at www.zendesk.com/apps/teamviewer.
The integration brings several benefits:
- Cross-platform support: IT support technicians can provide remote support for servers and computers running Windows, Mac and Linux from any Mac or Windows computer and even mobile devices.
- Improved resolution rates: Technical issues can be solved in collaboration with the customer in real-time. This reduces time spent with a support case, and results in better resolution rates.
“By being able to collaborate in real time through TeamViewer, customer support agents will be able to resolve issues more quickly and deliver a better service experience for customers,” said Conan Reidy, vice president of business development at Zendesk.
“The integration brings together the powerful remote access features of TeamViewer and the advanced ticketing workflow of Zendesk. As a result, IT agents now can remotely view and control an end-user’s computer. They are able to fix the problem at a much faster rate and improve customer satisfaction”, said Kornelius Brunner, Head of Product Management at TeamViewer.
