use our online “meeting place” to engage with others to
debate, share knowledge and communicate with others about a wide
range of topics they are interested in discussing. As it
relates to overall user experience, our forum is a type of
self-service support where customers can find a resolution to their
problems. As they say, the best number of contacts is zero. Customers

"Self-service usage is fast rising—increasing from 67% to 76%. Unfortunately, only 52.4% of customers find the information that they need on an online community forum." [Referenced Quote: Forrester]
