If you have a large product offering, having the developer involved in support makes him/her more aware of what exists and where the problems lie. The developer will take a deeper look at the issue and create a well written bug report&

Don't insist on any drastic changes in your first 4-6 months. Don't bad-mouth the current set-up. Don't bad mouth anyones work, even if it is legacy. It shows bad form. Learn and do the current process. After that suggest tho
