The existing customer facing web portal is simply too limited and complex to be of any real value. There are multiple "low end" help desk products that have a single customer facing web portal with the following features right out of the box:
ESSENTIAL FEATURES
1. Easy help tickets
2. Integrated customer Knowledge base
3. File downloads (secure https per customer account)
4. News
5. Customer self registration?
6. Integration with the customer support contracts
Many of these products provide a simple single user experience. Sage needs this capability out of the box! The omission of these features is unacceptable.
Secondly the web site is far too application centric, customers need something more intuitive - the buttons to submit, view, etc should all be at the top, there should be no learning curve required.
Other features that would also be nice
1. Interface to Credit card for purchasing (sell software and modules from the customer service portal)
2. Skins / branding capable
3. Ability to have an integrated project management plug in
4. Some customer facing reporting - incidents, durations etc
5. Dynamic searching of the knowledgebase as tickets are being created - perhaps this has already been solved so no ticket is created.
6. Built in forum
7. Knowledgebase and standard procedures management tools
8. Integrated wiki
We feel that this is inconsistant with a good user experience, and should not assume that the user would know to hit the Back button
We all know that IdeaLogix has not been easy to use and tends to be very frustrating. Obviously (some of) the other Sage Communities have had the same (miserable) experience.
The MAS Communities have now switched over to a much better mechanism than this forum. I suggest that the SalesLogix IdeaLogix be replaced with the same mechanism that the MAS community now uses ASAP.
This will provide for a consistent approach for all Sage Products/Communities.
