Integration with RightNow Technologies and Salesforce.com Enables 360-degree views of community members

Waltham, MA — September 2, 2009— Awareness, Inc., the leading provider of on-demand social media marketing software, today announced integration from itsPeer Support Best Practice Communityto leading CRM systems.

Awareness' Peer Support BPC allows community members to get assistance from other members and benefit by getting quick answers to support issues directly from their peers. Brands benefit by reducing costs associated with higher priced support channels (like phone and email) and facilitating a positive customer experience. Extending peer support communities to allow organizations to assign, route and prioritize support issues as they arise, while tying the details back to a single customer record, is a critical requirement for most brands. To meet this need, Awareness has integrated with leading CRM solutions—specificallyRightNow Technologies,Salesforce.comandClarify—to support customer service issues that originate within a peer support community and can be escalated.

Issues raised within a Peer Support community are routed directly to a CRM/trouble ticket system (as defined by the community administrator) for immediate follow up by a customer service representative. This ensures issues are resolved in a timely fashion and users benefit from an enhanced customer experience.

The integration is based onAwareness' standard integration frameworkand additional integrations are planned with other CRM solutions, includingNetSuiteandSugarCRM, in the coming months. The Awareness widgets and API allow for further development of the platform through the ability of other community developers. The framework gives developers the tools to mold the community and it's features to fit their needs.

"We're excited to be offering our customers another way to enhance customer experience," said David Carter, CTO and Co-Founder of Awareness."We've incorporated the integrations into our peer support community, so clients who are using CRM to handle support requests can utilize the service out of the box."
