Diamond Municipal Solutions and Genticity, Inc. form strategic partnership to deliver 311 solutions


Charlottetown, PE - November 10, 2005 - Today at the Red River Valley Government Summit hosted on the Microsoft Campus, Genticity, a leader in providing inbound, outbound and blended Client Interaction Management Solutions to the Contact Center industry and Diamond Municipal Solutions, a leading provider of Microsoft based revenue and financial management solutions for local governments, announced a strategic alliance that will deliver Genticity's Customer1 solution through the Diamond Municipal Solutions US partner channel network.

"Partnering with Genticity will allow Diamond Municipal Solutions to meet the 311 call center needs of our client base," states Rob Kirkey, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Diamond Municipal Solutions. "In addition Genticity's Customer1 solution is built on a .Net platform, which allows seamless integration with Dynamics GP financials, Diamond's revenue management and WorkTech's work management solutions. This enables Diamond Municipal Solutions to offer a more complete, integrated solution stack for local governments."

"Diamond Municipal Solutions has a wealth of experience in the public sector", said Gail Mercer-MacKay, VP Business Development at Genticity. "Their expertise and deep understanding of the needs of local government is invaluable as Genticity expands its customer base in this market. We are truly excited to offer our 311 solution to their existing and potential clients in North America."

311 is the newest trend in enabling municipalities and cities to provide the public with quick and easy access to all municipal and city services and information while maintaining superior levels of customer service. Directing calls to the right individuals and making information accessible and available across agencies enables public servants to focus on their core missions and manage their workload more effectively.

In addition to better information through the telephone, 311 allows constituents to interact with their local government using self-service to create requests, get questions answered and know at any time where their request is and how it is being addressed.

311 also provides government with accurate and consistent measurement and analysis of services across their portfolio so that they can respond to trends, set service delivery expectations, be accountable across their many different departments and continuously improve.
