Fisher/Unitech Adds Chat App To SolidWorks

The Troy manufacturing software provider Fisher/Unitech Monday announced the release of SELive, an online chat application fully embedded into SolidWorks software. 

SELive allows technical support engineers to view a customer's screen and take control if needed for diagnosis and solution. SolidWorks users simply install the Web application and launch a chat session directly from the SolidWorks Task Pane.

Fisher/Unitech says it is the only reseller offering online chat functionality for SolidWorks technical support. 

SELive is available for download now at www.supportexpresslive.com.

"SELive offers our subscription customers a way to instantly connect with our technical support team," said Rich Nobliski, vice president of technical services at Fisher/Unitech. "It gives users yet another way to get support, in addition to our toll-free phone and online case creation options. Because SELive is a Web application, any updates to it are pushed via the Web to the local installation, meaning users will always have the most recent version."
