inContact Platform Singled Out for Helping Clients Improve CRM
SALT LAKE CITY--(Business Wire)--
inContact, Inc. (NASDAQ: SAAS) (www.inContact.com), the market leader in
on-demand contact center software and agent optimization tools, announced that
Technology Marketing Corporation`s (TMC) Customer Interaction Solutions magazine
(www.uc-mag.com) has named inContact as a recipient of its 2009 CRM (Customer
Relationship Management) Excellence Award. 

inContact has integrated its call routing Automated Call Distributor (ACD),
Interactive Voice Response (IVR) and outbound systems with over a hundred CRM
solutions, including Salesforce.com, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, and Right Now
Technologies. 

CRM integration with the inContact platform improves both the agent and customer
experience by automatically providing information to the agent about the caller.
For example, if a customer calls into the system from a number in the CRM, all
of the information about the customer automatically pops up for the agent. 

inContact offers all of the benefits of a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) system,
and easily overlays an organizations` existing telephony system (switch),
enabling a number of functional benefits to the customer relationship management
process. 

"Our CRM integrations streamline the call flow process with intelligent screen
pops, integrated call controls and click-to-dial capability, which vastly
improves the customer experience and reduces call handle times," said Paul
Jarman, inContact CEO. "We are continuing to advance our CRM integration and
will launch a new architecture in May to apply across all browser-based
integrations." 

"inContact has demonstrated to the editors of Customer Interaction Solutions
that their products and services have substantially improved the processes of
their clients` businesses by facilitating the flow of information needed for
companies to retain their most precious asset: their customers," said Nadji
Tehrani, founder and chairman of TMC, publishers of Customer Interaction
Solutions.

Based on hard data, the CRM Excellence Award relies on facts and numbers
demonstrating the improvements that the winner`s product has made in a client`s
business. The Tenth Annual CRM Excellence Award winners have been chosen on the
basis of their product`s ability to help expand the customer relationship to
cover the entire enterprise and the entire lifetime of the customer. 

Customer Interaction Solutions has been the premier publication in the CRM,
contact center and teleservices industries since 1982. The 2009 CRM Excellence
Award winners can be found in the May and June 2009 issues of Customer
Interaction Solutions magazine.
