ATLANTA, Feb. 18, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- H2O Overgroup, the leader in innovative billing back-office solutions for Technology Service Providers, announced today that its Enterprise Customer Portal was selected as a winner of the Best of Show Award for Best Customer Service Solution at ITEXPO, at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Winners of the prestigious Best of Show Award program are reserved for products or services that demonstrate raw creativity and technological innovation.

H2O's Enterprise Customer Portal was a collaborative effort with Spectrotel, Inc., a Competitive Local Exchange Company (CLEC) serving customers throughout the United States. The Enterprise Customer Portal helps technology service providers solve customer relationship challenges by equipping customers with self-managed tools, robust data reporting, and the ability to personalize services. Providers can offer Enterprise Customer Portal as a value add to new customers and increase customer stickiness without the investment to build and manage an in house solution.

"As Spectrotel strategized its future technological needs for all its target markets, we understood very early on that having very robust and simple self-serve tools and reporting is an absolute necessity for our customers to ease administration," said Mitch Wright, CIO of Spectrotel, Inc. "We are proud that our vision combined with the outstanding technological design and programming of H2O Overgroup resulted in this award."

Said Ross Artale, President and COO of Spectrotel, Inc., "The response from our customer and agent base has been tremendous. The H2O Enterprise Customer Portal gives Spectrotel a clear competitive advantage."

"Enterprise Customer Portal was built to win and retain multi-location customers and attract top agents," said Brent Maropis, CEO of H2O Overgroup. "It's an honor the Enterprise Customer Portal has been recognized by TMC at ITEXPO as being the Best Customer Service Solution."
