Jacada Announces Details of Second Material Agreement With O2 UK
ATLANTA and LONDON– July 22, 2008 – Jacada Ltd. (Nasdaq: JCDA), a leading provider of unified desktop and process optimization solutions for customer service operations, today provided details of a material contract previously announced on June 11, 2008. Jacada has expanded its relationship with O2 UK by signing a second material contract with the mobile communications services provider.
O2 UK is a leading provider of mobile services to consumers and businesses in the United Kingdom. The first Jacada project, which was announced via a press release on November 17, 2007, is ongoing within the company’s prepaid division. This new agreement is for a project with the retentions group in the post-pay consumer area of the O2 UK business.
O2 UK’s retentions group is a key part of the company’s post-pay consumer business. The group’s 850 advisors focus on serving customers who have announced their intention to discontinue service by finding additional offers or rewards to incent them to stay with O2 UK. The Jacada solution will facilitate and streamline these key customer interactions by automating call processes across several existing applications.
“Our company is very focused on continually improving the service we provide our customers and we are always looking for solutions that will help us streamline our operations and provide our advisors with the tools they need to give the highest possible level of customer care to our customers,” said Cheryl Black, Customer Service Director, O2 UK. “We are experiencing great results with the Jacada solution in our prepaid division and are very impressed with the quality of the solution and the expertise of the Jacada team.”
“For a variety of reasons, telecommunications providers have found themselves struggling with chaotic customer service processes for some time. This has a profoundly negative impact on their ability to increase their share of wallet with their customers through cross-sell and up-sell opportunities,” said Guy Tweedale, senior vice president of European operations for Jacada. “So much potential revenue is lost because customer service agents are forced to spend their valuable time struggling to navigate cumbersome processes and complex technology rather than nurturing the customer. We have really helped O2 UK with this issue in their pre-paid division and are truly thrilled to be expanding our partnership.”
