-Improve call handling efficiencies and first-call resolution

?We have been looking for ways to efficiently integrate customer information and knowledge content from our different repositories,? said Marnie Loomans-Thuecks, Vice President of Customer Interaction and Investment Services of Thrivent. ?A big reason for choosing eGain was the open, standards-based architecture of its service management platform and its comprehensive product capabilities.

At the same time, we expect to cut training time in half ? from 13 weeks to six or seven.?
