CRMConnect Solution Announced

Automates Call Center Measurement Process

Mountain View, CA - October 24, 2000 - CustomerSat, Inc, specialists in measuring and managing customer experiences online, today announced the release of CRM Connect™ as part of their Customer Experience Management System. This fully hosted solution seamlessly integrates with CRM systems creating a 360o customer feedback environment for the contact center, providing automatic and continuous connections to customers.

As an extension of the contact center, CRM Connect™ integrates with the most popular CRM systems, including Siebel, Vantive, Remedy, Peregrine, Onyx, SalesLogix, Clarify, and others. When deployed, CRM Connect provides immediate feedback from call center or contact center customers immediately after a service call is completed.

"Traditional CRM systems are excellent at tracking and measuring 'what' has occurred with each customer, but they really don't address 'why' it has occurred", explained John Chisholm, CEO, CustomerSat. " CRM Connect's integration allows customers to extend the reach of their CRM system to gather real-time, actionable feedback from their existing customers creating what we call a 'customer experience management' solution."

Datasets from the customer's CRM system are automatically uploaded to the CustomerSat Web Hosting Center, where personalized email invitations are immediately sent asking the customer to provide feedback regarding their experience via online response forms. Once submitted, customer feedback is available at any time to authorized personnel through a wide variety of function-specific reports. Real-time alerts, built into the system, are designed to notify specific users or user groups when immediate action needs to be taken.

"We are excited that CRM Connect has already been implemented by several early adopters including Ariba, Inc., a leader in B2B eCommerce. Companies are using CRM Connect to give them the data necessary to consistently deliver excellent customer service. This is vital to building true one-to-one customer relationships - key to expanding eBusiness success," continued Chisholm.

CustomerSat's CRM Connect is designed to automate personalized communication between the client and their customer to help measure and manage customer experiences in an online environment. Customer-specific information, such as product used, case description, and virtually any other piece of data can be used to personalize and completely customize both the email invitation and feedback form to enhance responsiveness. Personalizing the message helps to increase response-rates enabling clients to receive more direct customer feedback.

Since CRM Connect is managed through a fully hosted software application, clients can begin to view real-time reports designed specifically for individual or group functions. Online reports include mean rating scores, distribution trends, pair-wise cross tabs, summary rating scores, verbatim responses, and more all available by region, division, product, date range, and any other attribute appropriate to the customers business environment.
