Reston, VA - April 26, 2004 - Parature, a leader in online support software, today announced CyberLearning Labs, developer of the ANGEL Learning Management System used by schools and organizations to support teaching and learning, has selected Parature as its customer support solution. Since signing on with Parature, CyberLearning Labs has been able to achieve their corporate support goal of responding to 75% of tickets within 2 hours, and resolving 75% of tickets within 8 hours. "We were able to achieve this goal by an increase in productivity that was facilitated by using the Parature software," noted Helen Follett, Vice President, Product Programs at CyberLearning Labs.
CyberLearning Labs selected to implement Parature's internal scheduling tool, an integrated contact management piece, self-service web portal consisting of knowledge base references and an online discussion board, a trouble ticketing system, web chat and real-time monitoring, download capabilities, and report functionalities. "I found the Parature system to be very easy to customize to my unique needs without having to contract a third party vendor. After experiences with other install based support solutions, the added cost and time required is a burden that was avoided by going with Parature. The Parature team was willing to work through my particular needs to make this the best solution for me at half the cost and time it would traditionally take," commented Follett.
"CyberLearning Labs is a great example of how when using Parature's robust and flexible infrastructure, you eliminate the need to work with multiple vendors to provide your customers with top notch support.
