This enabled 30+ internal users to author content that was published weekly for thousands of customer support call center representatives and store employees in the United States and internationally. It consisted of 600+ articles and pages and became the primary source of information concerning products, services, policies, procedures, customer account management, and technical support. Later certain sections of information were provided on the company website for customer self-help. + Supported multiple successful product launches of mobile phones and broadband devices on an average of one device monthly—including training delivery and assessment, and technical support reference materials. Device manufacturers included Alcatel, Apple, Huawei, HTC, LG, Motorola, Samsung, and ZTE. + Following AT&T purchase of Cricket Communications, I was personally retained for six months to support seven new mobile device launches, and to complete a manual migration of 100+ knowledge base articles’ content to the new support section of the corporate website built on the Adobe Experience Manager platform. I worked closely with the new QA and Customer Support Director (and team!) to transpose content in order to properly align with the new company culture and policies. Show less
