The company I'm at is trying to bring Documentation and UI more into the forefront, with onboarding of new customers and usability being top priorities. He's looking for a documentation strategy as well, but I need to ask exactly what direction he wants to go, because--Magid's Law--"It doesn't matter how you get there if you don't know where you're going."

I just got back from vacation and discovered that my boss gave me an assignment (there will be more) of coming up with _a list of ways enterprise software companies offer help_: online, offline, and every way in between. I'm thinking that I know many of the options available, but I don't know everything (you heard it here first!), so I really want to hear from you, too. You're welcome to cc: me at john -at- hedtke -dot- com, but for the good of the list, please post things here as well.


Many thanks!
