SALT LAKE CITY — April 20, 2009 — inContact, Inc. (NASDAQ: SAAS) (www.inContact.com), the market leader in on-demand contact center software and agent optimization tools, announced that Technology Marketing Corporation’s (TMC®) Customer Interaction Solutions® magazine (www.uc-mag.com) has named inContact as a recipient of its 2009 CRM (Customer Relationship Management) Excellence Award.  


inContact has integrated its call routing Automated Call Distributor (ACD), Interactive Voice Response (IVR) and outbound systems  with over a hundred CRM solutions, including Salesforce.com, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, and Right Now Technologies.  

CRM integration with the inContact platform improves both the agent and customer experience by automatically providing information to the agent about the caller.

“Our CRM integrations streamline the call flow process with intelligent screen pops, integrated call controls and click-to-dial capability, which vastly improves the customer experience and reduces call handle times,” said Paul Jarman, inContact CEO. “We are continuing to advance our CRM integration and will launch a new architecture in May to apply across all browser-based integrations.”

“inContact has demonstrated to the editors of Customer Interaction Solutions that their products and services have substantially improved the processes of their clients’ businesses by facilitating the flow of information needed for companies to retain their most precious asset: their customers,” said Nadji Tehrani, founder and chairman of TMC, publishers of Customer Interaction Solutions.

The Tenth Annual CRM Excellence Award winners have been chosen on the basis of their product’s ability to help expand the customer relationship to cover the entire enterprise and the entire lifetime of the customer.
