In evaluating RightNow’s higher education CRM solution, available through the software-as-a-service (SaaS) deployment model, Datamonitor noted: · RightNow had the highest score amongst all of the profiled vendors in four of the eight user sentiment categories, including product quality, customer support, service capabilities and client engagement. · RightNow supports the entire student lifecycle with considerable multi-channel and analytics capabilities. Channels include web self-service, email, web forms, mail, phone, in-person interactions, live chat, surveys and an interactive knowledgebase. · Using “drag and drop” functionality to create reports, the analytics tool offers even the most novice end users the ability to segment or drill down into student data easily. · A particularly compelling feature of RightNow’s CRM solution is the ability to embed other applications, such as a student information system (SIS) or document management system, using a “custom tab.” As a result, end users have a more unified desktop experience and reduce the need to toggle back and forth between applications. “We are excited that RightNow’s higher education solution received Datamonitor’s high ranking,” said Alison Higgins-Miller, vice president Asia Pacific, RightNow Technologies. “RightNow Higher Education provides a tailored solution that leverages extensive industry experience and best practices from our more than 100 higher education clients to help institutions recruit, retain, and inform students.” A free copy of the complete Datamonitor report featuring RightNow is available online at rightnow.com/datamonitorHE2007.
