Business Description
We are a provider of knowledge-powered support solutions that enable
organizations to deliver superior service for customers, employees and
partners
by transforming information into knowledge. Our solutions allow customers to
capture enterprise knowledge, solve customer problems, reuse solutions and
share
captured knowledge throughout the extended enterprise. Customers use our
knowledge-powered support solutions to achieve some or all of the following
benefits:
- Strengthen relationships with customers, partners, suppliers and
employees
- Decrease operating costs
- Improve creation, dissemination and sharing of enterprise knowledge
- Provide easy access to knowledge online on an enterprise-wide basis
- Integrate seamlessly with existing technology investments
With ServiceWare Enterprise(TM), our core software product line, our
customers can provide personalized, automated Web-based service tailored to
the
needs of their applicable users. ServiceWare Enterprise is based on our
patented
self-learning search technology called the Cognitive Processor(R). This
technology enables organizations to capture and manage repositories of
intellectual capital, or corporate knowledge, in a manner that can be easily
accessed by way of a browser to effectively answer inquiries made either
over
the Web or through the telephone to a customer contact center or help desk.
Through the self-learning features of the Cognitive Processor, our
ServiceWare
Enterprise products provide our customers an intelligent solution in that
the
solutions have the capability to learn from each interaction and
automatically
update themselves accordingly.
PRODUCTS
Our knowledge-powered service and support solutions enable organizations to
easily provide customers, partners, suppliers and employees with fast,
accurate
answers to inquiries across various communication
channels including the phone, e-mail, chat and the Web. Based on our
software
and Cognitive Processor technology, ServiceWare Enterprise software empowers
organizations to deliver superior service and support, while reducing
expenses.
ServiceWare Enterprise includes our ServiceWare Self-Service, ServiceWare
Professional and ServiceWare Architect software products.
ServiceWare Self-Service allows our customers to provide Web-based
self-service to their end-users. End-users can access the self-service
solution
through the Internet or a corporate Intranet. This Web-based customer
service
and support solution allows self-help users to access the knowledge base at
any
time, using an easy-to-use, intuitive interface using a natural language
query.
ServiceWare Self-Service can be customized to adopt the look and feel of our
customer's Web site.
ServiceWare Agent(TM) is designed for "Level 1" agents or for any company
that needs to provide a complete agent workstation knowledge management
center.
The functionality of ServiceWare Agent is similar to ServiceWare's other
agent-facing application, ServiceWare Professional, but with a portal-based
user
interface. Agent utilizes a side-by-side search capability, and
contributions
are made on the same page as the search results to ensure ease of knowledge
entry. Agent also includes additional portal-like features, including common
links, urgent notices and agent-to-agent collaboration capabilities via
e-mail,
instant messenger and expertise location.
ServiceWare Professional provides a Web-based application interface for
customer service professionals to more easily navigate through the knowledge
base, view various components of the knowledge base, capture and revise
additional knowledge, and provide accurate answers to end-user questions.
ServiceWare Professional includes a complete case management system that
serves
as a workstation for customer service and support agents. Agents have a
visual
queue of cases that can be viewed based on skills based routing. The system
also
contains e-mail and chat components that enable agents to easily communicate
with customers and employees without having to pick up the phone.
ServiceWare
Professional integrates with many types of customer relationship
applications to
provide a seamless interface for a customer service professional.
ServiceWare Architect provides a set of knowledge tools that allows
customers' quality assurance managers and system administrators to design,
manage and maintain knowledge bases. ServiceWare Architect provides quality
assurance and workflow capabilities as well as administrative tools for all
necessary product suite functions.
ServiceWare Express is a comprehensive product and services package that
includes browser-based applications, technical implementation, training
services
and customer support. ServiceWare Express is designed to enable midsize
enterprises or call center and help desk divisions of large enterprises to
effectively utilize corporate knowledge to improve customer satisfaction,
enhance service quality and reduce operating costs.
