  • BCD's Marcel Sarrasin wins Extra Mile Award for WebSmart!
  • "I’ve not seen anyone as concerned that a user understand its product as BCD’s Sarrasin was. BCD’s support group often uses Web-meeting capabilities, which allow them to show you in real time, on either your box or theirs, whatever you need to do. This beats dealing with a voice-only response and being told over the phone which buttons to push. Having tech support suggest a Web-based meeting to introduce a product is a great idea. I’d like to see this approach more often in tech support. I give Sarrasin an Extra Mile award for tenacity and patience."
