KNOVA Customer QLogic to Present Best Practices in Service and Support at the 2008 SSPA Conference

KNOVA, a Consona CRM solution and worldwide leader in service resolution and knowledge management solutions for the enterprise, today announced that QLogic, a leading supplier of networking solutions for storage and high performance computing, will speak on its experience and results using KNOVA software at the Service & Support Professionals Association (SSPA) Best Practices 2008 conference in Santa Clara, Calif. on May 6.

QLogic Senior Manager of Technical Support, Mike Carter, will present the session, "Exploiting Knowledge to Meet (and Exceed) Customer Expectations," based on the company's significant results using KNOVA as its knowledge management platform for self-service and agent-assisted customer service initiatives. QLogic chose KNOVA to help build a world-class support Web site by consolidating solutions and documents into an easily searchable knowledge base and streamlining call center and online service resources for faster response times and accurate answers.

"We knew that the KNOVA suite's flexibility would provide focused results that quickly lead our customers to the right answers. We were particularly interested in the forums capabilities," Carter said. "Our online forums have become an important part of the customer experience, allowing our tech-savvy customers to share their own solutions that can be searched within the knowledge base."

"QLogic came to us with a strong mission to improve customer satisfaction by making access to answers more efficient," said Tom Millay, general manager of Consona CRM. "KNOVA's award-winning functionality and proven success in service resolution management is ideally suited to QLogic's goals. The many benefits the company has seen since implementing the solution is proof positive that aligning a best-in-class solution with a customer-focused company philosophy is a recipe for success."
