We didn’t just fix it. We taught them.

Advanced Iron Worx needed 3 business email accounts set up and configured. We provisioned them, connected remotely via TeamViewer, and had the customer completing his own setups live on the call — all in under 15 minutes.

The situation

A customer stuck before they even started.

Advanced Iron Worx needed 3 new business email accounts set up on the AHS server. Getting the accounts provisioned was straightforward. The problem was what came next.

The customer had no idea how to configure the email accounts on his PC. His wife’s laptop also needed setting up, and she wouldn’t be home until the evening. Without hands-on help, he was looking at a frustrating night of trial and error — or a second support call the next day.

AHS didn’t hand him a help doc and wish him luck. The team stepped in with a remote session and walked him through it until he could do it himself.

How AHS resolved it

Step in. Don’t just solve it. Show how.

The goal wasn’t just to get three email accounts working. It was to make sure this customer never needed to call about this again.

1

Accounts provisioned immediately

All 3 email accounts were created on the AHS server within minutes of the call. Credentials were communicated to the customer straight away — no waiting, no ticket queue.

2

TeamViewer installed in under 2 minutes

Rather than talking the customer through a complex setup over the phone, AHS advised him to install TeamViewer — a free remote access tool. He had it up and running in 1 to 2 minutes and provided his session ID and password.

3

Remote session: learn by watching, then by doing

Once connected, the first email account was configured while the customer watched. The second, with each step explained. By the third, control was handed back to the customer to complete it himself while AHS observed. He got it right on the first try.

4

Customer leaves ready to handle it himself

All 3 IMAP accounts were configured and working within 8 to 10 minutes of the remote session starting. The customer had the confidence and knowledge to set up his wife’s laptop that evening — without needing to call back.

The difference

Hand them a guide. Or hand them the skills.

Most hosting support points you at documentation. AHS shows you exactly what to do and makes sure you can do it yourself next time.

Standard hosting support

Here’s a help article. Good luck.

  • Create accounts, send credentials, close ticket
  • Customer left to configure devices alone
  • Phone walkthrough with no visual guidance
  • Second call needed when it doesn’t work
  • No skills transferred to the customer
  • Repeat requests every time staff changes happen
Australian Hosting Solutions

Watch. Learn. Do it yourself from here on.

  • Accounts provisioned immediately on the call
  • TeamViewer remote session — no phone fumbling
  • First two accounts done live, with explanation
  • Third account handed to the customer to complete
  • Customer self-sufficient after a single session
  • Zero follow-up calls — wife’s laptop done that evening
What changed

From stuck to self-sufficient. One call.

This wasn’t just a support call. It was a skills transfer. The customer went from having no idea how to configure an IMAP email account to completing one himself, live, on the call.

Full resolution in one call

No callbacks. No follow-up tickets. No frustration. Everything was sorted in a single 15-minute interaction from accounts created to devices configured.

💻

Customer became self-sufficient

He completed the third account setup himself during the session and had the confidence to handle his wife’s laptop that night without any assistance from AHS.

Zero friction onboarding

Three business email accounts were live and configured on real devices within minutes. No delays, no documentation maze, no back and forth across multiple channels.

🤝

A genuinely grateful client

The customer was vocal about how thankful he was for the hands-on approach. Not just that the problem was solved, but the way it was solved — showing him, not just doing it for him.
