Sonic Solutions Selects eStara's Click to Chat

Market Wire, March, 2007

eStara, the leading provider of proactive conversion solutions for enhancing online sales and support initiatives, today announced Roxio, a division of Sonic Solutions, the leader in digital media software, has implemented eStara's Click to Chat across its support Web site to improve service efficiency and enhance the customer experience.

"As more and more customers gravitate towards online transactions they come to expect better online support options," said Garry Schultz, vice president of Global Customer Care, Roxio. "Click to Chat helps us bridge the gap between self-service tools and high-cost support options, and helps Roxio's customer service agents resolve basic customer support questions faster and more accurately."

eStara's cross-channel data passing ensures a continuity of customer experience by transferring information about the customer and the context of their online session directly to customer service agents at the time a chat session is initiated. Call center software can be configured to display this information directly on the agent's desktop screen, or it can use the incoming data values to trigger lookups into a company's own databases to retrieve related details such as customer records, transaction/service history, and billing information.

"With more than 250 million consumers using Roxio's applications worldwide, the company recognizes the importance of offering the right form of customer support at the right time," said John Federman, CEO, eStara. "Roxio wants to offer its customers unparalleled service without increasing the burden on its contact center agents, or forcing customers into long queues. eStara's Click to Chat provides an ideal tool to handle routine customer service inquiries promptly, or escalate higher-value sales inquiries seamlessly to a telephone conversation using Click to Call."
