Cobblesoft Launches New Customer Support Solution
PHELPS, NY, December 01, 2003 - CobbleSoft International Ltd. ™, developers of web-based helpdesk, customer support and process management software solutions, today announced the North American launch of COIGNTM Enterprise.

COIGN Enterprise is a 100% web-based, hybrid CRM/BPM solution, incorporating features such as helpdesk, process and project management, self-service, and knowledge management. Leveraging the powerful process engine originally developed for CobbleSoft’s first product (COIGN Corporate Edition, released October 2002), COIGN Enterprise benefits organizations through a wealth of features enabling next-generation support.

One such example is the capability for dynamic, real-time integration to internally developed applications and also enterprise solutions from vendors such as Oracle, PeopleSoft and SAP for ERP, CRM, HR, and Manufacturing. In addition to the benefits gained from rapid auto-population of data fields, integration promotes data integrity and consistency throughout an organization, thus enabling superior business intelligence.

Also key to client success is the Survey Manager module. Survey Manager offers totally flexible capabilities for soliciting support-related feedback, running quick polls with instant results, and for developing multiple instances of completely independent surveys.

“Helpdesk and customer support isn't just about technicians fixing computers any more,” said Richard Stevenson, CEO, CobbleSoft. “It's about providing a solid foundation of intuitive, comprehensive channels for finding answers, resolving issues, and soliciting feedback. CobbleSoft solutions not only provide the means for educating and supporting employees, they also enable you to directly support your customers. Customers that want to enjoy doing business with you.”

COIGN Enterprise provides for internal, external, and automated support. Internally, support staff can automate processes such as database monitoring to create issue tickets. Externally, the Public-User module enables organizations to effectively build their own support application by designing web pages around powerful APIs. Regardless of the source, all data flows into a centralized repository and benefits from system-wide features such as automated routing utilizing the integrated workflow.

“Few solutions today truly enable support for greater productivity throughout an organization,” said Pamela Follett, President, CobbleSoft. “With COIGN Enterprise, companies can finally step up to, and successfully meet, their support challenges. More importantly, they will communicate to customers that their requests are a priority.”

CobbleSoft has also recognized and addressed the increasing trend towards impersonal support. Individual personalization options are available, including user photographs and role biographies. Putting a face to a name, even on the other side of the world, generates a customer comfort factor which has an increasingly positive impact.

Key features and benefits:
  • Surveys, Polls and Feedback with wizard-driven setup
  • Graphical analysis with drill-downs through departmental and team hierarchies
  • Solutions Center for self-service and knowledge management
  • Broadcast Center for support alerts, current news and e-mail

Inherent flexibility and scalability, combined with no per-seat or per-agent licensing, enables organizations to grow more successful without worrying about increased support costs.
