Customer Support Management's Editorial Director, Katherine Grayson
comments, "The Users Choice Awards definitively identify the systems,
software, and resources that users think are best, based on their
'in-the-trenches' evaluations at customer relationship management
organizations."
Gary Lemke, President of RealMarket, added, "given the complexity of most
customer management solutions, a test environment cannot be as comprehensive
as the actual user installations. With the Users Choice Awards, users are
able to share how well the solutions have met expectations and helped
improve customer interaction.
"The Awards are a benchmark for customer support and service professionals
who are looking for solutions, and need to make the right choice the first
time," Lemke continued. "With customer management running at internet speed,
there's virtually no room for trial and error."
