What does CSA do?

Customer Service Alerts for iMIS is an add-on for iMIS. Users keep CSA open while they work. Whenever a user starts working with a person or organization record in iMIS, CSA displays "alerts" with information about that record. Alerts are often used to call attention to details buried deep in iMIS or easily missed.

The alerts your users see, and they order they are ranked are completely under your control. When configured to your liking, CSA helps your organization staff to be more aware of problems and more responsive to opportunities for outstanding customer service.

Customer Service Alerts FAQ's

CSA documentation CSA.pdf

What kinds of information can CSA alert me to?

Just about anything which can be connected to the ID of the current record. This often starts with iMIS data, but can include non-iMIS tables in your iMIS database or data in other databases on the same server.

Customer Service Alerts includes several predefined alerts, and can be tailored by you or your Authorized iMIS Solution Provider to increase your staff's productivity.

Set up additional alerts to show:

  • Total member lifetime value
  • Certification status
  • Cross-sell opportunities
  • Recent contracts and changes
  • Missing demographic information
  • Data integrity problems
  • Unresolved member complaints
  • Approaching deadlines
