That’s why we’re introducing our first customer charter. It’s our commitment to outstanding customer service and providing the best online diagramming experience - that’s the Creately experience.

It covers many of the things that will help make your Creately experience as enjoyable as possible, from how to access assistance 24/7 and what our privacy policies are, to how often we will fix bugs and update the Creately service.

What you can expect from us

Unfortunately, there are times for every startup when things don’t go to plan. If you are inconvenienced as a result, we think it’s important to know what you can expect from us, and that you know we will always be helpful, fair, open and consistent.

Enjoy Creately!

What’s going on @Creately

As Twitter becomes more popular and pervasive, it has become an essential tool for start-ups to engage with their customers. Here at Creately, we actively engage our users, supporters and even the occasional detractor on Twitter.

Recently, we wanted to understand what our customers say to us on Twitter so @Indu went through our Twitter archives and put together this simple connections map of our @Creately Twitter account to capture some of our more active users and what they’re been talking to us about.

Who’s Talking to Creately & What are they Saying.

As @Indu worked on the diagram, she decided to pull together some recent Tweets about Creately to share with the team and you - our customers.

  • b3nw: saved by a javascript app creately - http://creately.com after MS Visio just refused to link things, whew. Best $5 i’ve spent in along time.
  • UrbanHaiku: learning how to use creately.com to make a flowchart for my blog. I like it.
  • JasonStoddard: Highly recommend @creately & checking out their mindmapping/diagram solution. Hosted. Elegant. Stupid-simple. #FF
  • megormi: I made some interesting graphic organizers today using creately.com thanks to the suggestion by@socratech
  • nocash: Been looking for something like this for a while: Create and Collaborate on Online Diagrams - Creately -http://creately.com/
  • Rohlund: I highly recommend checking out creately.com if Microsoft Visio is not your friend. #ittools

Thank you for all your tweets. We try to respond to each and everyone of them - so if you’ve enjoyed using Creately - tell us - we’re always listening on Twitter.

If you’re not following Creately on Twitter - now’s the time.

Unscheduled Downtime - We’re now good to go.

We have just had some unscheduled downtime with the Creately service due to a database change not going as intended. The issue started at 5pm GMT and was resolved at approximately 11pm GMT.

The change was tested in our development and testing environment and even with the best change management it seems things still go wrong. The issue affected a change to the main diagram database structure that was required to facilitate our recent introduction of Team Projects to Creately.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused and rest assured that we have found the root cause of the problem. We have put steps in place to ensure this doesn’t happen again in the future. We will also be introducing extra redundancy to ensure that next time the switch over to the backup database is even quicker.

Creately is now back to normal, but if you face any issues, please do let us know.

Happy Diagramming and thanks for your support.
