Customer Services

Regardless of the industry or customer size, Spirion delivers personalized ongoing relationship support by assigning every customer to a Customer Success Management team-member. Our commitment to our customers’ success and satisfaction is paramount. We look for meaningful ways to deliver stellar support with our online portal, technical and advisory user groups, ongoing educational programs, and are just a phone call away.

To ensure that our customers receive an excellent product experience, we instituted, “Spirion Listens,” which is a brief questionnaire sent to customers to provide insight into the customer’s opinion about our products, services, and employees. Every response is read by our executive team to ensure satisfaction.

Spirion offers a range of service offerings to ensure customers get the help and guidance needed to secure and transform their business.

We help companies implement Spirion products; offering onboarding services to teach users the application and mentoring to achieve organizational goals. Our experts work alongside customers to set up priorities, search strategies, classifications, workflows, and criteria; providing the right amount of guidance for testing that enables a successful production experience to help customers realize a faster time to value.

Technical support for Spirion users is another extension of our Customer Success philosophy, and we are available to help, and address needs related to product functionality. We manage our support tickets on a triage method, and all support inquiries are acknowledged in a timely fashion, with most cases resolved the same day. We offer an online community that includes our support portal with access to product documentation, our knowledgebase articles for additional guidance, online forums, as well as trained technical staff available to help with issues or questions.
