RightNow Receives "Shortlist" Recommendation in Datamonitor's CRM For Higher Education Matrix E-mail
by David Bass   
Friday, 29 June 2007
RightNow® Technologies (NASDAQ: RNOW) today announced that Datamonitor recommends the RightNow solution be placed on any higher education institution’s shortlist for Customer Relationship Management (CRM) technology selection.  According to the June 2007 report, Decision Matrix: Selecting a CRM vendor in the higher education market, “The combination of being exceptionally well regarded in the higher education market and having a robust solution makes RightNow a vendor that institutions should put on their shortlist when considering the purchase of a CRM application.”  

The Datamonitor report also states that RightNow, “offers institutions the benefits of attractive pricing and rapid deployment without undermining the ability to have a fully branded end-user experience. Institutions seeking to implement CRM in the most basic to even the most sophisticated ways will find RightNow Technologies to be an attractive vendor.”

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.”
