14. What now?
 We send updates if there is progress with any of the issues
that a customer has raised.
 We participate in a customer survey to measure document
satisfaction:
 Satisfaction and neutral returns are currently at approximately 95%
 We get in contact if a customer states that they are dissatisfied and
wishes to discuss their concerns
 We seek possible enhancements if the dissatisfied customer does not
wish to discuss the issue
 We react quickly to errata when our customers raise them
 We are collaborating with other parts of the business to
standardize our deliverables,
 We are discussing delivery and format of source files.
