eGain Lands 2011 “Rising Star” Honors from CRM Magazine
Also named a “Leader” in Web Support category, eGain cited for introducing its innovative Social Experience Suite in 2010
Mountain View, CA, March 05, 2011 --(PR.com)-- eGain (EGAN.OB), the leading provider of cloud and on-site customer interaction hub software, today announced that it has been named a “Rising Star” by CRM magazine, a leading Customer Relationship Management industry magazine.
CRM magazine also named eGain a “Leader” in web-based customer service management. This year’s recognition came in Web Support, a new category that encompasses both web self-service and web interaction management.
In its March 2011 issue, CRM took note of eGain’s comprehensive Social Experience Suite, calling the company “The One-Stop Shop” for customer interaction and knowledge management. Released in October 2010, the new version of eGain® Social Experience Suite™ empowers contact center agents and community managers to handle customer inquiries across traditional and social channels. Included is a social-blended agent desktop; integration with Facebook® to complement available integrations with Twitter® and Web search; and a single-sourced knowledge publishing capability for proactive social engagement.
The article also mentions eGain® Multisearch™, describing it as an “all-in-one search solution that is designed to dramatically improve the user experience.” eGain Multisearch puts the combined power of diverse knowledge access methods—natural language processing, intent-based search, faceted navigation, and case-based reasoning—behind a simple search box.
According to Esteban Kolsky, principal and founder of CRM intelligence and strategy firm ThinkJar, “eGain has evolved its product to include a new model of search that allows it to deliver better service to users. They can find information faster and easier and with a better overall experience.”
“It’s exciting to be acknowledged by CRM magazine as a Leader and a Rising Star,” said Ashu Roy, CEO of eGain. “We thank our clients who help us push the envelope to build rich customer service and sales engagement applications in a multichannel, social and mobile world.”
In citing eGain as a Leader in Web Support, CRM magazine rated the company’s products high in depth of functionality. It quoted John Ragsdale, vice president of technology research for the Technology Services Industry Association, who believes eGain’s recently announced intelligent search platform has given the company best-of-breed status within knowledge management, incident tracking, multichannel management, and enterprise search. Stated Ragsdale, “You will see a lot more of eGain in 2011— they have the right product at the right time.”
