The Customer Service Centre is the hub for customer enquiries whether they be via email, phone, or fax.
The Centre covers Technical Support, Software Registrations, Sales Desk, and literature ordering.
Staff have access to a variety of support tools which allow them to simulate customer applications and access on-line global support databases.
