SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - June 22, 2010) - ServiceMax will showcase Product Chatter, its cloud-based solution for real-time product intelligence and field service collaboration, at the Salesforce.com Cloudforce conference today. Product Chatter lets products "talk" directly to customer service and field service teams -- enabling products to communicate malfunctions as they happen, rapidly alerting service professionals to potential downtime.
Product Chatter is part of the ServiceMax suite of field service solutions that allows companies to better manage customer needs through increased visibility. Product Chatter will be demonstrated today during Marc Benioff's keynote speech at Cloudforce and at the ServiceMax Booth (#24).
Built with Axeda® ServiceLink technology on the Salesforce.com ChatterExchange platform, Product Chatter captures live, up-to-date information from remote connected products and adds intelligence and collaboration to business processes. Companies receive unprecedented levels of insight into how their products are running at customer locations and no longer need to rely on the customer to request a service call. Product Chatter effectively allows companies to better anticipate customers' repair and maintenance needs so that they can head off downtime before it happens, ensuring happier customers and increased revenue.
"At ServiceMax we're reinventing field service through our suite of cloud-based solutions that leverage cutting edge technologies such as Axeda and Chatter," said Dave Yarnold, CEO of ServiceMax. "Innovations like ServiceMax Product Chatter will change the way companies collaborate and interact with their customers. Imagine a product issue that is serviced and fixed before a customer even knows they have a problem. We're enabling our clients to deliver those unprecedented levels of service, and the proof is in their customer delight."
"Through our alliance with ServiceMax we've contributed to a new approach to how companies interact with customers," said Dale Calder, president and CEO, Axeda. "Product Chatter extends the value of connected product data through better collaboration and automated field service process to change the way companies think about post-sales customer service."
