NextNine�s Remote Support Automation Platform Acknowledged for Significantly Improving How Companies Provide Customer Service and Support
New Orleans (October, 1, 2007) � NextNine, the leading global provider of remote support automation solutions, today announced it has been named a Fall 2007 "Recognized Innovator" by the Service & Support Professionals Association (SSPA), the largest and most influential association for technology services and support professionals. NextNine, honored for Innovation in Proactive Support, was showcased at the SSPA Services Leadership Conference today in New Orleans.
Winners were selected by a panel of judges, including industry experts, SSPA members, and SSPA Vice President of Research, John Ragsdale.
�Customer expectations and product complexity continue to rise and only by embracing innovation can companies deliver breakthrough customer success. NextNine embodies this spirit by delivering a truly unique and differentiated offering in service and support technology,� said Ragsdale.
NextNine was named the winner in the SSPA�s Innovation in Proactive Support category. A key element of value-added service is moving from the traditional break-fix model to one of proactive and preventative monitoring and support. As technology becomes even more ingrained in personal and work lives, customers are becoming even less tolerant of technical problems and any subsequent downtime. This award is presented to the SSPA Partner whose innovative solutions best enable companies to proactively support customers.
�Our mission at NextNine is to provide organizations with avenues for leveraging proactive support, empowering them to dramatically improve support efficiency, customer satisfaction levels and by extension, customer retention, as well as effect a positive paradigm shift in problem prevention and resolution� said Gil Levonai, VP Marketing and Strategy, NextNine.
