Like in any other kind of relationship, what stands at the basis of a successful business relationship is good communication between the provider and the client. One of the best ways to maintain a good communication is through an online help desk that will help the client post any issues they encounter, as well as help the provider offer support. This way, the two parties will exchange information as fast as possible, almost in real time, as if they were in the same room.
