The support load on mobile devices is increasing dramatically as the devices get more complex with more applications, services, features and configuration options and this is a headache for mobile phone vendors, mobile operators and end-users.

Tific launches new solution - Tific MAP (Mobile Acceleration Platform)
– a ground-breaking support automation solution for mobile phone vendors and mobile operators
The support load on mobile devices is increasing dramatically as the devices get more complex with more applications, services, features and configuration options and this is a headache for mobile phone vendors, mobile operators and end-users. For mobile phone vendors and operators this results in increased support costs and decreased customer satisfaction and for the end-users it results in increased frustration which negatively affects loyalty.
Tific has addressed this urgent need by extending its world leading support automation platform to support mobile phones and devices. The new solution is named Tific MAP (Mobile Acceleration Platform) and it helps mobile phone vendors and operators:
Remove the majority of NFF:s (no fault found) by automated and dynamic trouble shooting
Reduce the support load through automated solutions (mass- and self-healing) to known problems
Increase end-user adoption and usage of services by dynamic configuration and information automatically tailored for each individual end-user
Reduce support load by providing timely, updated and intelligently targeted training and information material
All of the above boost customer satisfaction and loyalty to a new level.
Tific MAP is based on Tific’s world leading support automation technology which has been deployed to millions of user globally in both consumer and enterprise environments.

Tific releases a new version of its leading support automation platform
The software company Tific releases the seventh generation of the leading platform for IT support automation and self service, the Tific Automation Platform.
Tific Automation Platform version 7 is the most significant upgrade in Tific’s history and it features several new functions, for example within security and performance. Release 7 contains a number of improvements in existing functionality which further simplifies creation of automated support content and administration of the solution. Version 7 is also a much more flexible and configurable solution.
Customers and partners to Tific have had the opportunity to suggest and recommend features and improvements to version 7 and many of them have been addressed in this release.
Highlights from release 7 include:
- Security Framework – a number of new security features has been added including signing of content and the client application. The extended number of packaged security features makes it possible for customers to use the Tific Automation Platform in all possible implementations such as supporting internal enterprise users, external enterprise user and consumers.
- Tific Creator – the unique content production tool Tific Creator, which makes it possible for people with no programming background to create automated solution, has been significantly improved which further simplifies the creation and maintenance of support content. The improvements include a new graphical interface that can be adapted for each user, a new content search function and new debugging features.
- Performance Toolkit – a lot of effort has been invested into making the platform even faster. The platform in itself has been improved which has resulted in great performance improvements but there are also a number of new functions that make it possible for customers to test and optimize the performance of the content that they build themselves. Tific has also produced a handbook, Tific Performance Handbook, that describes how to build fast content and how to scale the Tific solution.
- Tific Client – new features have been added that increases the flexibility of the client application. More possibilities to change the graphical design of the interface allow for customers to tailor it to their own graphical preferences.
Tific Automation Platform version 7 is fully compatible with Windows Vista and it has been tested and is certified according to “Works with Windows Vista”.
Tific will go one step further in the decision process for what will be included in release 8. Tific will invite interested parties in a public forum to suggest new features and improvements of existing features. This is a step towards Tific’s goal to become the most open and transparent company which will help Tific maintain and strengthen its position as a market leader in support automation solutions.

Columbitech, a leading wireless security software provider, signs an OEM-agreement with Tific, leading provider in software for automated IT-support. The purpose is to use Tific’s platform to complement Columbitech’s offerings to add unique functionality for automated user support that will decrease customers’ costs for support, maintenance and deployment of new services. Through this cooperation Columbitech offers Tific’s world-leading technology as an integrated component of its offering.
The use of mobile solutions is growing very rapidly. Meanwhile, both suppliers and customers experience an increasing need for support as the technology used is complex and the market requires solutions where one single client supports all available networks and all different types of mobile devices. To meet this need Columbitech introduces Tific’s solution for automated support as an integrated part of its offering. Through the integration with the Tific platform, Columbitech is able to:
- Simplify installation and configuration
- Proactively solve errors before they occur at the end-user – so called self-healing
- Solve users problems faster by giving customer care access to relevant information
As a result, customers who choose Columbitech’s solution experience a lower cost of ownership throughout the product lifecycle. Columbitech offers a unique solution for easy connectivity and wireless security combined with a very cost efficient solution for support and maintenance. Columbitech’s customers also benefit from significantly increased customer satisfaction as their end-users are relieved from technical challenges and difficulties.
”Long experience from large scale deployments and the complexity associated with wireless technology has taught us that everything can’t be solved by products alone. Making our customers successful requires a holistic view that includes all underlying software and hardware, the infrastructure over which the service is delivered and the people that use the solution” says Ola Jonsson, VP of Sales Columbitech. ”The integration of our solution with Tific’s technology follows our strong view that usability and simplicity is extremely important for mobile services”
”I am very pleased over this cooperation where we add significant value to Columbitech’s solution as our technology clearly meet customers’ demand.” says Pär Ribbner, CEO Tific. ”I have a strong confidence in Columbitech as a company and I hope that we with our solutions can contribute to their global expansion which through this agreement benefits both of us.”

CenterBeam selects Tific’s IT support automation solution to anchor its robust customer support suite
Today, Tific, the leading provider of IT support automation solutions announced that CenterBeam, a North-American managed IT services provider, has selected Tific’s support automation solution to serve as the next-generation platform for its powerful customer support suite. Automation and access to information are key to CenterBeam’s industry-leading customer satisfaction and operational excellence, and the Tific tool will serve as the anchor for existing and future desktop and support applications.
Automation + Knowledge = Satisfaction
With CenterBeam’s dramatic growth, the keys to its continued success include the ability to reduce errors and issues on the desktop before they impact the user (thereby reducing support calls); and having the tools available to agents that increase their effectiveness when a support call is generated (thereby making the time spent with the client more productive). Tific’s Support Automation Suite extends mass- and self-healing capabilities to user desktops to ensure they are configured correctly, eliminating issues that could impact user productivity. It also accumulates a comprehensive knowledgebase over time, providing the customer care agent a wealth of information both on the specific PC as well as the entire enterprise, dramatically increasing the productivity and effectiveness of CenterBeam’s customer care operations. The net result: increased customer satisfaction and greater operational efficiencies, all of which contribute to business growth.
CenterBeam was able to customize the Tific Support Automation Suite to meet its specific needs, and is private labeling the tool as CenterBeam Continuous Configuration (C3). The tool integrates with the existing enterprise-class applications CenterBeam has in place to support and manage its wide range of mid-market clients, including BMC Remedy AR System.
“It is CenterBeam’s promise to our clients that we will be proactive, effective and consistent in the management and support of their IT operations,” says CenterBeam CTO, Shahin Pirooz. “The Tific Support Automation Suite is best-in-class, increasing our ability to automatically diagnose and repair errors. In this fashion we not only make our operations that much more efficient, which is good for our bottom line, but our user community experiences fewer IT issues, which has a significant impact on their satisfaction with our service. With the rich set of information aggregated by Tific, CenterBeam can be incredibly proactive and knowledgeable when interacting with our user community. It is good for business. It is good for our clients.”
“I am very excited about this implementation for two reasons; first because this is our first US-based opportunity with a managed service provider (MSP), and second because we could very quickly demonstrate that we add significant value to a sophisticated, world-class organization that already delivers extremely high satisfaction to its user community” says Johan Attby, VP Business Development at Tific.
CenterBeam considers this only the beginning of the benefits they and their customer base will reap from the Tific Support Automation Suite. The scalability and interoperability of the tool will enable it to be integrated with future support and management applications, thereby increasing both the knowledge base and the range of issues it can automatically isolate and heal. With Tific as the anchor through which all tools will report in and through, CenterBeam will continue to drive the efficiency and proficiency of its operations that contributes to its industry-leading customer satisfaction.

New solution from Tific and Teleca makes it remarkably easier to install broadband at home
Teleca has launched a new solution aimed to broadband suppliers that makes it possible to substantially decrease the work needed to install and configure broadband at home. The solution is based on Tific Broadband Suite.
The solution automatically configures the broadband for the end-user, something that many customers today experience as a problem. These problems results in many calls to the supplier's helpdesk.
By using this solution, broadband suppliers can automate large parts of their support. As initial configuration and continued support often results in huge costs for the broadband supplier, the Tific Broadband Suite makes it possible to decrease costs by using the new automated solution.

Tific - Remedy Action Request System Integration Now Available
The Swedish software company Tific AB releases integration between Tific Digital Support System and Remedy Action Request System. By integrating Tific Digital Support System with an issue management system, support automation and self-service becomes an integrated part of the support process which simplifies the information flow and reduces the support costs even more.
With the Tific - Remedy Action Request System integration, support is taken to yet another level. A number of large enterprises have implemented the Tific Digital Support System as a platform for support automation and self-service. In parallel they are running an issue management system for registering tickets that are solved manually by the helpdesk. The need for an integration between those systems has been great and Tific is now releasing the integration with Remedy Action Request System. This integration is the first in a series of integrations with complementary systems to the Tific Digital Support System.
Tific - Remedy AR System Benefits
Lowered resolution time through better knowledge - the Tific Client automatically gathers the end-user's current system configuration and settings and attaches it to the ticket generated.
Better understanding through enhanced statistics - the end-user's history of actions in the support automation and self-service framework is stored and can be viewed in the issue management system.
Improvements in the ticket generation process - the end-user can generate tickets from the Tific Client and view the status of existing issues there. The system configuration is automatically attached to the ticket and it can be routed based on the user's actual situation.

Tific launches new platform for IT-migration projects - Tific Migration Suite
The Swedish software company Tific has developed a packaged solution for IT migration projects, the Tific Migration Suite. The solution is a tailored solution of the successful support platform, the Tific Digital Support System. Tific Migration Suite makes it possible for companies reducing migration costs and minimizing risks involved in the migration.
The Tific Migration Suite is a software platform that makes it possible for companies to automate several steps in an IT migration process. Automating migration processes reduces the need for manual work and minimizes the repetitive work needed to be carried out by desk-side technicians. Examples of processes that can be automated are, save local files and settings on a central server, check that the computer is ready for migration, and restore local files, links and settings.
Tific Migration Suite also contains an intelligent self-service solution that guides the user through the new environment, answers questions and solves problems that can occur. This cuts the peak in the support load that usually follows a migration. After the migration is carried out, it seamlessly transforms into a self-service solution for IT-support that helps relieving the pressure on the traditional IT help desk. Tific Migration Suite targets medium and large sized companies that have plans for IT-migrations.
