Develop & Deliver Support Center Training for Global Publisher



The publisher of the world's most vital business and financial news and information. It is the pre-eminent publisher of business and financial news and information in printed and electronic forms. Its name has been synonymous with accuracy, integrity and trust for over a century.



The global, real-time information business is an exceptionally demanding environment for all publishers. At this firm, the demands are even more exacting, as it has built a reputation for editorial quality and leadership even in the midst of rapidly developing, complicated news. This creates very real challenges for support professionals.

Crushing production demands require the highest levels of support and rapid acclimation of new staff, with no room for error. The firm needed a training solution that would quickly educate support professionals on how to immediately and effectively communicate with their customers, the editorial staff of these publications. Results were especially critical, as the firm’s employees perceived the support group to be useless and non-responsive to the needs of its customers.

Using an innovative approach, IHS developed a “News Business Analyst Course” to educate support professionals to understand and satisfy a special and demanding customer. The firm’s new support professionals moved up the learning curve and contributed more rapidly and effectively in their new environment. The stigma of the “helpless” desk was quickly demolished, yielding the following impressive statistics:
  • First call resolution increased 47%
  • Support approval rating increased 32%
  • Surveys have shown that customer confidence in the support function has increased nearly 80%

IHS Support Solutions developed a course specifically tailored to this firm’s needs:
  • Provides the support center and other IT support staff a better understanding of the customer they would be servicing
  • Dynamic and interesting content provided through a multimedia presentation
  • Includes an immersion into industry-specific terminology, removing what had been a significant barrier to effective support
  • Identifies the inherent stress and energy level required to support this customer base
