Parature is at work helping diverse organizations the world over support more than 15 Million end users every day. Here’s what our customers have to say about how Parature Customer Service software has enabled them to better and more efficiently serve, support, engage with and retain their customers in today’s Web world.

Angel Learning

"Parature is light years ahead of other service software in terms of ease of use and offering a complete solution. We like its flexibility in workflows, routing and alerts. Unlike other software solutions the real power behind Parature is that we can fit it around our people and processes rather than the other way around. Parature represents a new way of thinking about customer support, where proactive support and self-service are made simple."

- Support Center Team Lead


Brenau University

"Parature has allowed us to adapt a customer focus that we've never had before. It lets our students, faculty, staff, and most importantly, our alums use our knowledgebase to gain information they need to be successful. Thus, we build relationships that we know will continue forever."

- Director of Web Strategy, Solution & Support


BuilderMT

"Parature has completely revolutionized the way we do business. It's enabled us to streamline our internal customer support operations, which has freed up time to focus our entire efforts on providing top notch software to our home builders."

- Chief Technology Officer


Caselle

“The reports are fabulous. It’s great having both high level and detailed views into all of our support activities, with the ability to track results and improvements over time.”

- Senior Vice President of Support


CenterStone Technologies

"Parature allows us to start out simple and grow. It let us quickly launch the basic system so people could begin using it and then build out additional areas and advanced customization over time. Parature fits where we are now, and has enough capabilities to match where we are going in the next four to five years."

- Sr. Vice President of Technology


Colorado CustomWare

"As a growing enterprise, we needed a consistent and cost-effective way to support our customers. Parature provides the best value for the money when setting up online support operations. Our customers like our new support site, our staff is comfortable using the software, and our response times and quality of responses to customer inquiries have improved. If we had to do it all over again, we would still select Parature in a heartbeat."

- Chief Operating Officer


Coremetrics

"Parature Customer Service™ software has quickly enabled Coremetrics to increase client satisfaction levels by providing clients a self-service portal with 24/7 access to information and ticket history. Coremetrics has also been able to service twice the number of clients without increasing the size of our service levels. Additionally, Parature Customer Service software has increased the efficiency at which our teams work within Coremetrics by allowing us to have improved processes among customer support, operations, development, and sales."

- Director of Global Accounts


DBM

"We’ve leveraged Parature's Web self-service features to empower our customers to get support when, where, and how they want it. This has led to a 36% decrease in tickets submitted and improved customer satisfaction, ultimately adding value to our online presence."

- Global Support Manager


e-MDs

“Parature has been a great fit for us, particularly due to its customization to fit our needs, the high level of functionality, ease of use, and the very affordable pricing.”

- Executive Vice President, Practice Management


ExtendMedia

"ExtendMedia has been using Parature Customer Service™ software with excellent results. We've minimized our inbound calls from approximately 100 per month to 20 or less. We've reduced our wait times by up to 80%. We’ve maximized our knowledge growth through the knowledgebase system in terms of transforming tickets into knowledgebase articles, which allows users to manage and access data, and find their own solutions to known issues."

- Support Manager


Florida State University

"When Parature assured us they could deploy their software in a matter of weeks, we assumed they were providing us with a marketing pitch to gain our business; however, Parature delivered on their promise, and had us up and running in three weeks."

- Director of User Services


Havok

"Before Havok began using Parature, we supported our customers and deployed our products through many different systems including ftp sites, a custom ticketing system and custom FAQ Web pages. Combining the use and maintenance of these disparate systems in a single interface, by way of Parature, has been a real boon for Havok. It has allowed us to grow our support system, while increasing our efficiency and decreasing turnaround times for our customers."

- Support Lead


Idiom Technologies, Inc.

"Parature Knowledgebase™ has enabled our customer support team to work more efficiently. Our support reps spend less time responding to repetitive customer inquiries, and more time solving tougher customer issues. It also allows our support team to work more collaboratively, tapping into the knowledge of our entire team to solve problems faster."

- Vice President of Professional Services and Support


IGN Entertainment

Parature is everything to our department, it makes us shine and stand out to our customers. They find our support easy to use and it provides a very pleasant experience.

“Parature’s hosted model enabled us to focus primarily on supporting our community of users without having to maintain any hardware or software, and was able to provide the customization we needed at a competitive price."

- Office of Information Technology Help Desk Manager


JobFox

"With Parature, JobFox has been able to gain better visibility into the types of tickets that were being frequently asked. Not only we can go back to our knowledgebase and improve the articles we have there; I can get the information I need to go back to our product team, and really help them think about the types of enhancements they can make to our site, to ensure the questions never get asked in the first place."

- Client Services Manager


Minerva Networks

“Parature has enabled us to not only implement better processes and organization, but to also begin offering clients innovative and time-saving customer support tools. This combination of an upgraded infrastructure and client-facing enhancements has taken our support to the next level, and ensures we are meeting, if not exceeding, customer expectations.”

- Director, Technical Support


Passport Health Communications, Inc.

"With our previous solution we had to continuously update well over 120 pages worth of support information. With Parature, we can match the look and feel of our support portal to that of our website, and effectively communicate changes to our products through their robust knowledgebase."

- Vice President of Customer and Technical Support


Premiere Global Services

"The great thing about Parature is that it makes it possible for us to provide that self-support model. It allows us to cut costs, and it allows our reps to spend more time actually providing better service to our customers. It's critical to us that we are doing that and we're also understanding what our customers are saying about us -- we leverage the forums and the surveys to understand what they are saying about our products, and Parature allows us to do that."

- Director, Web Strategy & Strategic Web Initiatives


Seven

“In deciding to use Parature we have given our customers a leap forward in their problem management. We went from simple ticket listings to offering our customers a knowledgebase, glossary, troubleshooter, discussion boards and sophisticated ways to search their tickets. Prior to Parature we were getting requests to improve the support features and access. We now receive praise from our largest of customers."

- Director, Customer Care and Training


The Weather Channel

“Parature has become a trusted partner, and has consistently delivered on their pledge to help us meet our customer support goals by providing dedicated staff and excellent technology. The comprehensive, integrated nature of Parature’s software enables us to provide a very positive support experience and meet customer needs quickly.”

- Manager, Customer Data and Systems


TMA Resources

"Within the first year of using Parature, in just customer service alone, we saw a 25% increase in productivity, mostly in reduction of administrative overhead. Being able to roll this out across our organization with transparency among departments and to see what is going on with individual issues has been key for us as an organization to improve our processes and customer service satisfaction."

- Director, Customer Service


Water Environment Federation

"Parature has allowed us to better service our customers through the tracking and accountability features for email to ticket conversion and submission of questions. It has also allowed us to involve our entire staff in the service of our customers. We were able to create an online knowledgebase for our staff that includes the procedures manual and frequently-asked questions from our members. This has lifted a huge weight off the shoulders of our support center."

- Director, Association Services
