Burlington, MA - December 8, 2008 - Mzinga (
http://www.mzinga.com/pr/), the leader in
on-demand social software solutions for marketing, customer support, and
learning, today announced that
QuickArrow has chosen Mzinga’s social media platform to power
an online community for users of its
Professional Services
Automation (PSA) solution.
More than 300 services organizations and
30,000 subscribers worldwide use QuickArrow to streamline operations and achieve
better visibility to optimize their services delivery. With the deployment of a
user community, the company aims to further enhance its offering by enabling
professionals across multiple disciplines to connect, share ideas, and engage in
peer-to-peer discussions about solution and industry best practices. For
QuickArrow, the collaborative environment will also provide more direct insight
into customer interests and needs and help reduce support response times and
costs.
“Our clients have always shared ideas and best practices with
each other, so the development of an online user community was a natural next
step for us,” said Baker Johnson, marketing director at QuickArrow. “Mzinga
stood out as the clear provider of choice because of their robust social
technologies, as well as the proven experience and strategy expertise that other
vendors seemed to be missing.”
QuickArrow will be launching the first
phase of its user community later this month, which will include a myriad of
social applications, including role-based discussion forums, polls, idea
rankings, blogs and more. The company will open the community to its existing
client base to improve the overall experience for current QuickArrow users and
provide more interactive communication with company experts and each
other.
“We are thrilled to have QuickArrow as a customer because they
truly see how socially enabling a community can impact their business,” said
Rick
Faulk, CEO of Mzinga. “As QuickArrow continues to engage users for
innovation and mutual support, we expect this community to become a strong
competitive advantage for them in their space.”
