  6. “Express Service” for Software Developers Issue: Desire for Direct Communications with the e-help Desk Update: • Implementation of a Silent Prompt from November 03, 2009 through January 31, 2010 for Software Developers Only • E-mail response times will improve through more efficient routing of e-mails. Long-term Strategy: • Investigate chat capability - This is still a couple of years away as security concerns still need to be addressed.
