RWD infoMaestro(TM) Boosts Customer Service Representative Productivity with ECM Integration



RWD helps EMC and Oracle Customers Link Enterprise Content and Customer Strategies

BALTIMORE, Nov. 14 -- RWD Technologies, Inc. (RWD), a company that develops and implements organizational performance solutions, announced today the availability of RWD infoMaestro(TM) version 2.0 for the integration of customer relationship management (CRM) and enterprise content management (ECM) software, helping customers improve call center response time, ensure greater compliance, and automate the customer fulfillment process. RWD infoMaestro's "Dynamic Assembly Engine" can now enable customers to seamlessly integrate the CRM functionality of Siebel with EMC's Documentum -- providing greater productivity and a better overall experience for the ultimate customer.

"Too often, a customer service representative takes a call, logs the customer interaction and required response into a CRM application, and then has to access yet another system to get the appropriate content to fulfill the request," said Gary Walker, senior vice president, RWD Applied Technology Solutions. "However, if the representative can quickly locate and access the material while on the phone and automatically fax or e-mail complete responses within minutes, you have a much happier customer on your hands than if they have to wait days or weeks to get that same material. You also have faster time to fulfillment and greater compliance for industries like life sciences and manufacturing. It may sound like an obvious solution, but the norm is for CRM to be completely disconnected from content management. RWD infoMaestro changes that."

According to an August 2007 report from Forrester titled "Best Practices CRM," the CRM market will grow to nearly 11 billion by 2010, yet "less than 50 percent [of business and IT executives] were fully satisfied that the business benefits achieved met their expectations or felt they were able to quickly realize value from the applications. Moreover, Forrester's "The Right CRM Metrics for Your Organization," report (Oct 7, 2007), states, "We found that successful companies focus on five fundamentals: 1) promoting user adoption; 2) focusing on business processes; 3) establishing executive sponsorship; 4) practicing sound customer data management; and 5) defining the right metrics."

RWD infoMaestro's ability to deliver relevant Documentum content via Siebel customer applications supports three of these key fundamentals -- improving business process (by reducing time to fulfillment), supporting user adoption (by requiring training on just one system instead of two or more) and practicing effective data management (by having compliant material at the tips of an agent's fingers).
