Re: [Avid-L2] Positive Avid support experience

I have had the same experience! SNAFUs with updating a dongle, had sincere, courteous, responsive, friendly service from a rep named Ashi. I was very pleased.

I think they are still saddled with a glitch- and failure-prone licensing system, though.

Rick Lowenstein, who is head of this sort of thing at Avid, is trying very hard to ensure this sort of experience is more and more the norm. He gave a presentation at the Avid Sales Conference which was very sincere, straight shooting and humble. They have every intention of getting the wait times down to a few minutes and to clean the stables in general. I am sure they / he would appreciate any and all positive feedback. Marianna is no longer alone!

I did a last minute update (actually, after the last minute) on a client's 3.x dongle - purchased through VideoGuys.

There was a problem with mis-matched serial numbers, and, although I 'pinged' Marianna to let her know I might be bugging her about it eventually, I tried dealing directly with Avid support - and got great service. The problem was solved with just one phone call and a few emails. (I originally tried just to email about the problem after the trouble updating, but eventually had to call.)

I know this should not be a surprise, but it was, and I wanted to say that Marianna may not be alone in sincerely trying to take care of customers. Or, more likely, she's setting the shining example that others are starting to follow.
