Ottawa, Canada (PRWEB) March 6, 2006

Customer Expressions, the leader in web-based complaint management software, announced today that it will join one of its clients, the General Insurance Ombudservice, in a presentation regarding the “Building Blocks for an Effective Complaint Management System” at the third annual Effective Complaint Management conference, to be held in Toronto, March 6-8, 2006.

General Insurance OmbudService (GIO) assists in the resolution of conflicts between insurance customers and their insurance companies. When disputes arise, GIO’s neutral and professional mediators and experienced Consumer Service Officers help insurance companies and customers work toward a solution that is in the best interest of both parties in a fair, independent and impartial environment.

GIO works with companies offering home, automobile or business insurance.

The conference, which is being organized by Federated Press Inc., will provide attendees with innovative complaint management strategies along with challenges, successes, and lessons learned at organizations such as Bell Canada, VIA Rail and Microsoft.

“Complaint management is becoming more and more important as companies begin to realize the practical and strategic importance.” said Joe Gerard, VP Sales & Marketing, Customer Expressions. “Practically speaking, companies need to manage privacy and other complaints effectively in order to mitigate risk. The Internet and more recently Blogs have provided consumers with a new avenue to express and share dissatisfaction with a corporation. Instead of telling their circle of friends about a bad experience, customers can tell the world. Strategically, product improvement and customer retention have become the focus. Effective complaint management is a way to save customers from defection and to gather feedback that can help improve business processes or product offerings.”
