Consona CRM Suite Recognized by Customer Interaction Solutions and CRM Magazine for Outstanding Solution
Prominent Industry Media Outlets Select Consona CRM as Recipient of Excellence Awards
Indianapolis (May 05, 2009) –
Consona CRM, a leading provider of total customer management solutions for the enterprise, today announced that both Customer Interaction Solutions and CRM magazine have chosen the Consona CRM Suite as a recipient of the 2009 CRM Excellence Awards and 2009 CRM Service Awards, respectively.
CRM magazine’s sixth annual CRM Service Awards honor the vendors, consultants, and end-user companies focused on high-quality customer experiences through the sophisticated integration of people, processes and technologies. With this year’s awards, CRM expanded its scope to a record eight categories, with one Service Winner, denoting the highest score compared to its peers, two Service Leader awards and a “One to Watch” recipient in each category. Winners were determined through an extensive three-month process and proprietary rating formula that involves industry analysts, financial and corporate information, product and functionality assessments, and scores reflecting customer satisfaction. The Consona CRM suite received top honors as a Service Winner in the Contact Center Search category, and was also recognized as a Service Leader in the Web Self-Service category.
“CRM magazine is pleased to present the 2009 CRM Service Awards to those companies and individuals who are raising the bar in their service-related customer relationship initiatives. These efforts are helping companies streamline business processes, maximize profitability, and provide more value to customers,” said David Myron, editorial director of CRM magazine.
Awarded by Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) and presented by its flagship publication, Customer Interaction Solutions, the CRM Excellence Awards are based on hard data, facts and figures demonstrating the improvements that each winner’s product has made in a client’s business. Consona CRM and the other award recipients were chosen on the basis of their product or service’s ability to help extend and expand the customer relationship to become all encompassing, covering the entire enterprise and the entire lifetime of the customer.
“The companies selected have demonstrated to the editors of Customer Interaction Solutions that their products and services have substantially improved the processes of their clients’ businesses by streamlining and facilitating the flow of information needed for companies to retain their most precious assets…their customers,” said Nadji Tehrani, founder and chairman of TMC.
“It is an honor to receive recognition from industry leaders like Customer Interaction Solutions and CRM magazine, and we’re very pleased to be acknowledged for the hard work we put into bringing successful solutions to our clients,” said Tom Millay, general manager of Consona CRM. “The climate of the CRM market today is increasingly more demanding and competitive, and Consona CRM’s continued presence on the leader board is a testament to the quality of our product, the support we put behind our customers’ initiatives, and the cutting-edge technology that we utilize in building our solutions.”
