Zimbra Customer Wins 2014 Constellation SuperNova Award
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) November 12, 2014 -- Zimbra, a global leader in unified collaboration software, today announced that Rackspace® (NYSE: RAX), a customer and a solution partner of its Zimbra Social platform, is the recipient of the 2014 Constellation SuperNova Award for Next Generation Customer Experience. The category analyzes how organizations are making the shift from systems of engagement to systems of experience and mass personalization at scale.
Rackspace chose to implement a global online community that provides its customers with a central place to share questions, discuss challenges, rate content and provide feedback. The Rackspace community focuses on scaling the delivery of Fanatical Support®, educating core customers, increasing customer engagement and sharing Racker knowledge. Since implementing the community, Rackspace has seen a 10 percent increase in self-service utilization across all channels, and its human based support channels have reduced on average 50 percent for phones, 15 percent for tickets and 20 percent for chat. While the quantitate metrics are important, it is the qualitative metrics around customer satisfaction that are invaluable to Rackspace.
“I am truly humbled by the recognition of our community team and commitment to customers,” said Ian White, manager of support for Rackspace. “We thank our customers for supporting the Rackspace community and our wild ideas,” continued White. “And, thank you to Zimbra for powering the experience.”
