Eniro Turns Over a New Page With eGain
Leading Search Company Selects eGain for Increased Efficiency and Superior Levels of Customer Service via Intelligent Email Management Solution
| Source: eGain
SLOUGH, UK--(Marketwire - April 2, 2008) - eGain (OTCBB : EGAN ), the leading provider of
multichannel customer service and knowledge management software, today
announced that Eniro, the Nordics' leading directories and search company,
has selected its email management products to improve the quality and
efficiency of its customer service. eGain Mail™ is set to alleviate the
pressures and demands of email communication between its multiple contact
centres and its customers. It is replacing existing Microsoft Outlook
programs that were unable to cope with the company's increasingly high
volumes of customer demand.
Eniro -- Finland's answer to Yell.com -- is driven to deliver quality
services to a wide-ranging customer base so demand for efficient customer
service and near-instant response times is of the utmost importance. After
a competitive tender process involving twelve other providers, eGain's
powerful and robust solution was the only one that could provide the
comprehensive information that Eniro needed for assured customer service
management. Juha Saarinen, Eniro's System Architect explains:
"Our primary concern was improving our email processes, as too much time
was being wasted by agents sifting through emails -- and Outlook only
seemed to exacerbate the problem. We receive an incredible mix of enquiries
and cherry picking them simply isn't an option. It was imperative that our
solution could differentiate between each and every enquiry to improve our
handling times, and by ticketing each and every mail we receive, eGain
Mail™ has made our whole communications process faster and a lot more
efficient."
In addition to improving email handling, Eniro needed a solution to ease
the strain on its marketing department, which is tasked with producing
regular customer service reports.
"Compiling the information and necessary statistics from Microsoft Outlook
was proving time-consuming and increasingly difficult. We required a
better understanding of our customer base and wanted the ability to profile
customers that phone in; not only to better the customer experience, but
also enable our agents to adjust marketing and sales to promote additional
suitable products," Saarinen comments.
Since implementing eGain Mail™, Eniro has seen a notable difference in
its customer service operations and enquiry handling times were improved
significantly during the pilot alone. Email handling and customer response
times have been notably improved whilst the company is benefitting from the
automatic generation of periodic reports for customer service management.
Saarinen concludes:
"The easy-to-use user interface has proved a great success across the
company and the results speak for themselves. We rely heavily on our back
office systems for information and databases, and the next step of our IT
strategy will address how we can utilise and integrate eGain's Knowledge
Management solutions to further improve our customer experience."
