Trapeze Networks Selects Parature Customer Service™ Software

Parature Enables Leading Wireless Management Software Provider to Empower Customers with 24/7 Self-Service

Vienna, VA (Vocus)-- Parature, the global leader in on-demand customer service software (http://www.parature.com/customer-service-software.aspx), announced today that Trapeze Networks has selected Parature Customer Service™ software to efficiently manage their customer service and support. Trapeze Networks is the leader in enterprise wireless LAN equipment and management software.

Trapeze Networks empowers its customers to access their business applications anytime and anywhere, so their customers expect anytime, anywhere answers for their network challenges, according to Sandeep Moza, Sr. Customer Advocate. Their search for an on-demand software application arose from a business goal to have self-service support capabilities 24/7. Their existing application lacked the customer-facing component to meet this need, requiring their support team to manually create a ticket from customer emails and Web forms; increasing resolution times for customer cases. Parature Customer Service™ software (http://www.parature.com/customer-service-software.aspx) provides Trapeze with an integrated customer portal, knowledgebase and trouble ticket software, as well as a host of other modules to efficiently manage all of their growing support needs. "With Parature, our customers now have anytime, anywhere access to a knowledgebase, software downloads, forum, and tickets," said Trevis Schuh, VP of Worldwide Customer Service.

"We evaluated half a dozen customer support applications and Parature Customer Service software rose to the top primarily because of the simplicity of having multiple modules rolled into one," stated Moza. "Parature is a one-stop shop, providing us with a hosted software solution of integrated modules for effective customer service and support. Seventy percent of all new tickets are created by our customers on the portal, reducing support email interaction by 40 percent. Those that use the knowledgebase to resolve their issues never create tickets, further reducing the support team's workload. Additionally, we are handling a twenty percent higher ticket load, without additional resources."
