| News Release For immediate release Shrapnel Games Opens Customer Support Center Customer Service their "Number One" Priority Cary, NC, February 08, 2001 Shrapnel Games announced today the opening of their Customer Support Center. Top of the line help desk software combined with the reorganization of their customer service department will mean faster response times on customer related issues. Tim Brooks, President of Shrapnel Games, said, "We had to do something. Our growth has been phenomenal, we have grown over 800 percent faster than our best projections. We were dropping customer support inquiries on a regular basis in November and December. So, we invested a lot of energy and money into making our Customer Support Center the best in the industry. I want to apologize to anyone who hasn’t received stellar support from us. We are committed to making our fans and customers our number one priority. Please get in touch with us, again, if you feel you have been ignored. This was not intentional on our part and we will make things right." Richard Arnesen, Director of Covert Operations, added, "We are expecting to grow at double the rate of last year. Our new support software will allow us to keep up with customer service as we move into new avenues of distribution of our products." Among the features added to customer support is support request tracking, which allows the customer to log into the Support Center and view the status of the request as the technicians work on completing the service request. Other features include automatic update e-mails sent to customers when a technician works on the request, time and date stamps that show progress and, the ability to enter emergency requests that actually page the technicians, alerting them to the emergency.
