CRM Headline News

RICHARDSON, TEXAS (October 5, 2004): IEX Corporation (Company Profile, Past Stories, Case Studies), a Tekelec company (Nasdaq: TKLC), today announced it has been named the winner in the Sixth Annual Users Choice Awards for its TotalView Workforce Management system. IEX is a leading provider of workforce management and business optimization technology for contact centers.

“Being named the winner, by TotalView users, is like passing the ultimate litmus test,” said Debbie May, president of IEX. “We’re very proud of this customer testament. It shows that our functionality and commitment to service continue to consistently meet and exceed customer expectations.”

CRMAdvocate sponsors the Sixth Annual Users Choice Awards program, which provides best-of-class recognition for customer management products and services. Unlike other industry awards where a panel comprised of industry experts determines the winners, Users Choice Awards selections are based solely on end-user input.

“In these days, where proving ROI is imperative, there is no greater testimony than this,” said Gary Lemke, president of RealMarket. “These winners are obviously doing a number of things well to receive such high praise from their customers.”

In their sixth year, the Users Choice Awards were the first CRM industry awards to utilize end-users as the judges to identify the products providing the most value. RealMarket was an original founder of the awards and now serves as the program administrator.
