LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Support.com, Inc. SPRT, makers of cloud-based Nexus^® software for Support Interaction Optimization (SIO) and a leading provider of tech support and turnkey support center services, today announced the launch of their Nexus Self-Support cloud application at the ICMI Contact Center Demo & Conference at the Rio in Las Vegas. Nexus Self-Support allows software, IoT, device, and other technology manufacturers to embed easy access to customer self-service in their mobile apps, websites and software programs. By doing so, companies can increase customer satisfaction, product value and brand loyalty.

Nexus Self-Support stands out in the customer self-service market because:

• It is an embeddable solution that allows end users seamless access to support as part of the product experience, rather than as a separate process.
• It relies on intuitive Nexus Guided Paths^® technology to speed up and optimize self-service interactions.
• It uses contextual information to reduce customer effort and frustration, and increase customer satisfaction.
• It harnesses analytics across all support interactions to continuously improve the customer experience.

Nexus Self-Support helps product and support teams guide users through the installation, configuration, use, troubleshooting and upgrading of technology products. Nexus Self-Support also works in tandem with the Nexus cloud application for agents (now called "Nexus Agent Support") to provide self-service customers with the ability to seamlessly escalate to a live professional support team when needed.

Demonstrating the need for this product strategy and development, a recent Support.com proprietary survey of more than 1,000 U.S. consumers found that 49.6% of "Connected Consumers" (defined as frequent to heavy users of technology in everyday life) indicated they prefer a self-service approach when addressing product issues post-purchase. That figure rises to 60.2% among consumers aged 18-29. Additionally, 32% of Connected Consumers stated they want the flexibility of both self-service support and access to a live customer representative when necessary.*

Nexus Self-Support offers exactly this flexibility. The customer is guided through a self-service experience and, when professional support is desired, the customer also has instant access to a representative. To save customer effort and increase the efficiency of that interaction, the representative receives a full data record of the steps already taken during the customer's self-service attempts.

Nexus Self-Support is being demonstrated at booth #422 at the ICMI Contact Center Demo & Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, through Wednesday, October 21.
