More accurate reporting: Since system information and error logs are
automatically uploaded to the IBM Support center in conjunction with the service
request, customers are not required to find and send system information, decreasing
the risk of misreported or misdiagnosed errors. Once inside IBM, problem error data
is run through a data knowledge management system and knowledge articles are
appended to the problem record.
Customized support: Using the IBM ID entered during activation, customers can
view system and support information in the "My Systems" and "Premium Search"
sections of the Electronic Support Web site at
My Systems provides valuable reports of installed hardware and software using
information collected from the systems by Electronic Service Agent. Reports
are available for any system associated with the customer's IBM ID. Premium
Search combines the function of search and the value of Electronic Service Agent
information, providing advanced search of the technical support knowledgebase.
Using Premium Search and the Electronic Service Agent information that has been
collected from your system, customers are able to see search results that apply
specifically to their systems.
