Frank Leo, senior manager of IT for Canon Latin America, and his team, use HelpSTAR software for IT purposes to track day-to-day actions and provide automation of service requests.

We couldn't ask for more from HelpSTAR. Its software has taken our collaborative workflow to the next level."

HelpSTAR software has unique features including a rich array of collaborative objects that range from instant messages between representatives, documents (including encryption, check-in/out, searches and preview functionality) and integrated appointments and meetings. Canon Latin America utilizes these features in sales and marketing to send, receive and view communications relating to projects within one consolidated view.
