LiveOps Wins Best of SaaS Showplace Award
On-Demand Contact Center Platform Provider's End-to-End Solution Helps
Organizations Better Support Their Customers |
Wellesley, Mass. - December 21, 2009 - THINKstrategies, Inc., the leading strategic consulting company focused on the business implications of the on-demand services market, announced today that LiveOps has been named the latest winner of the Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Awards program, which is aimed at promoting the measurable business benefits being delivered by today's Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions. The BoSS Awards program was announced in January 2009 as the latest initiative by THINKstrategies to bring attention to SaaS and cloud computing companies that are producing tangible business benefits for specific user organizations. These benefits include increased sales, lower costs, higher customer satisfaction, faster operations and greater profitability.
LiveOps On-Demand Contact Center Platform applies the benefits of cloud computing to the contact center, enabling enterprises to rapidly deploy a scalable contact center infrastructure on a pay-per-use basis to achieve greater operational and cost efficiencies. LiveOps' on-demand contact center platform provides a complete, end-to-end solution - including call routing, agent management, workforce optimization, call monitoring, and real-time analytics. It also provides mission-critical availability and no maintenance windows with multi-layered security features and PCI Level 1 compliance to meet every aspect of enterprise security and availability requirements.
VForce is an example of the business benefits derived from LiveOps' On-Demand Contact Center Platform. VForce is a virtual outbound call center, which exclusively services AAA Clubs across the U.S. VForce places tremendous emphasis on call center responsiveness and effectiveness to meet AAA Clubs' service quality standards. By leveraging LiveOps' On-Demand Contact Center Platform, VForce has been able to improve agent productivity by 20%, and increased expired member renewal rates by 15%.
In recognition of these measurable business benefits, LiveOps has been named a Best of SaaS Showplace Award winner. A summary of the company's winning BoSS Award submission can be found at http://www.saas-showplace.com/awardSummary.php?key=1095. "We are pleased to be recognized by THINKstrategies and the SaaS Showplace for the business value our SaaS solution brings to enterprise customers," said Maynard Webb, chairman and CEO of LiveOps.
