MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwire - September 17, 2007) - eGain Communications Corporation (OTCBB: EGAN), provider of the top-rated* customer service and contact center
software for in-house or on-demand SaaS deployment, today announced that
KMWorld magazine has named eGain OnDemand™ as a Trend-Setting Product
for 2007. Among the various criteria used to select winners, customer
feedback was the most relevant.
Hugh McKellar, KMWorld editor in chief, said, "More than 650 individual
products were considered by our team of editors, analysts, integrators and
users. Each and every company whose products were chosen for this year's
list of Trend-Setting Products is being acknowledged for its willingness to
listen and serve its customers in useful and innovative ways."
The hosted version of eGain Service™ suite, eGain OnDemand enables
companies to rapidly deploy enterprise-class customer interaction hubs
(CIH), without requiring extensive IT resources. The solution is built on
the eGain CIH™ Platform that centralizes multichannel interactions,
knowledgebases, business rules, workflow, analytics and administration in a
common foundation. Unlike most other customer service software vendors,
eGain provides a broad choice of proven deployment options -- on-premise,
on-demand and managed services, and a seamless transition across these
options.
"Customer focus and innovation have always been cornerstones of our
business strategy and operating philosophy," said Ashu Roy, CEO of eGain.
"We are pleased to be selected as a 2007 KMWorld Trend-Setting Product."
