Neocase Newsletter | Winter 2008-2009


Dear Customers and Prospects,

We are approaching the end of February and it has already been an interesting 2009 for Neocase. Among the exciting news was our certification for Microsoft Dynamics CRM - a rigorous process that demonstrates the software development quality and compatibility of Neocase solutions.

We were proud to host our 1st Annual EMEA Customer Event in Paris, which was a huge success based on the customer feedback. We are currently planning a similar event in North America and will be sharing event details with you shortly.

In this first quarter of 2009, we will be releasing a new, unique solution to manage and optimize your business processes (BPM). The solution will integrate with your Customer Service Contact Center across the entire enterprise, using one single platform, knowledge base and self-service portal. Customers in EMEA and the US have already capitalized on this new Neocase Business Process Management (BPM) solution to streamline their business processes. Take a look at our portfolio of solutions!

Last but not least, please check out our new website at www.neocasesoftware.com. We will continue to make significant enhancements to this valuable resource for our customers and prospects.

Kind regards,

Julien Dahan

MARKET TRENDS: Do more for less money 
A recent leading article in the Economist stated: "There is strong demand for technologies that do the same for less money, rather than more for the same price".
Same for Less

With one of our recent customer wins - a large US chip manufacturer - Neocase Software has taken this trend of "same for less" a step further. Here, the chip manufacturer faced the option of:

1 - Upgrade its current legacy systems at an extremely high price point while accruing additional professional service fees

OR

2 - Purchase best-of-breed functionality at half the price point, including professional services.

The choice: The chip manufacturer chose Neocase at half the price point with even more functionality than the legacy upgrade would have delivered.

If you are facing a similar challenge, don't hesitate to contact one of our sales reps to learn more about these costs savings through Neocase! Email us at info@neocasesoftware.com.


SNEAK PREVIEW: Best Practices in SLA Management
Service Level Agreements are becoming increasingly important across all customer service domains. The SLA may specify the levels of availability, serviceability, performance, operation, or other attributes of the service delivered to either an employee or customer. It aids in managing customer or employee expectations, otherwise customer will set his own expectations for reasonable service. This may lead to customer dissatisfaction if these expectations are not met.
Service Level Agreement Response times

Based on research by ServiceXRG, customers covered by SLAs are more likely to receive better service performance, and therefore have a better service experience than customers not covered by SLAs. For example, customers under SLAs have received 200 times better response rates than other customers, and have a much better service experience (positive experience for SLA customers vs. Non-SLA customers: 71.2% versus 53.75%).

RECORDED WEBINAR: Neocase CS in a SaaS environment

The IDS Success Story - Using Case Management Technology to Streamline Inbound Customer Support Calls.

Guest Speaker: Doug Schick, Director of Global Support, International Decision Systems.

Like many others, IDS has been affected by the economic downturn.  If they hoped to maintain a high standard of customer service, they needed to improve their productivity, but with limited resources. In addition, IDS needed to replace an outdated and expensive to maintain case management system.

IDS achieved some impressive results after implementing Neocase CS:

  • Reduced total number of open cases with lapsed SLAs by 50%
  • Achieved a 20% reduction in total number of cases
  • Increased customer satisfaction levels
