I have been following service technology for quite a while and have not heard of them. Their web site has info about their product & technology, but little about the company. It looks like they are a spin-off of, or at least related to Bitflow Software Inc. 60 Bullock Dr. Unit # 7, Markham, Ontario, L3P 3P2 Canada (same address as LiveAdvisor).
My guess is that LiveAdvisor is a newcomer to the market and is planning to take on companies like Citrix Online (www.citrixonline.com) and LivePerson (www.liveperson.com)
Bottom line I have never heard of them, but would be interested in knowing more. I suggest you learn everything you can from them and get some reference accounts that are using their technology.
Good luck

does anybody know about this company. We are considering to use it for our support. It has an online helpdesk.
Our core product is a technology called OmniView, which will allow users to share the screen of any Windows 98. 2000, or XP based PC through a webpage link to customers with PCs, MACs, and Linux based computers. In addition, our Windows based client is capable of two-way and multipoint application sharing at the desktop and application and session level. The beautiful thing is that this is accomplised through NAT and Firewalls as we are a service and the two devices will connect to our server.
We are contemplating providing this as a service or to OEMs as a feature within their application.
I would like feedback to see if people think that this could be useful. Also, if anyone is interested in being a Beta Tester and providing feedback.
Please let me know.

If you have not yet added web based interactive support to your portfolio of services it time to take a look at this type of technology. Web based interactive support (remote control, live chat, etc.) is gaining acceptance in the user community as an effective support delivery medium. In fact, we (ServiceXRG) just concluded a study and one of our findings is that customers identified remote support as one of the most effective web support capabilities offered today. We have also developed some interesting data on case closure rates and costs using this type of technology and the numbers are encouraging.
While I am not advocating this or other vendors, this type of technology is something you may want to consider looking at it in 2005.
I second Tom's input. I use Webex for our interactive web support and I'll tell you that it is sometimes a real pain and I would switch if I found another VNC type product that didn't require me to help my users install or configure it on their machine. I have very non-technical users.
Webex is constantly updating their software and when they do this a new download of a viewer is required and with some customers that download is taking more than 30 minutes, which is ridiculous because it takes less than one minute on my machine. And these are cable modem users. Webex says it's an ISP issue and the ISP says that it's fine and round and round.
Then when SP2 started getting installed, I had to search Webex extensively to find the port to open. Pain in the rear! The Support Center is just not as good right now as the Meeting Center.
