 November 14, 2000, Annapolis, MD -- ServicePower, the leading provider of field service scheduling software for the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) market, today announced that they have expanded their presence into the Asia-Pacific region by signing a reseller agreement with CRMSmart.  

In response to growing market demand within the Asia-Pacific region, ServicePower has signed CRMSmart as an authorized reseller for their intelligent field service scheduling product, SERVICEPower.  Based in Melbourne, Australia, CRMSmart has proven skills in the CRM space, with a particular focus in field service technology for utilities, telecoms, and other organizations with a large number of field service personnel.

“The catalyst for this agreement was the increasing demand from a number of field service organizations in Australia who were already in contact with CRMSmart,” said Paul Oliver, vice president of worldwide sales for ServicePower.  “Organizations are beginning to realize that by optimizing their field service scheduling processes, they can reduce the cost of running a service operation, increase productivity, improve customer service, and gain better management visibility.”

Oliver continued, “We have been impressed by the professionalism and knowledge of CRMSmart.  We are confident that they will represent us well in the Asia-Pacific region.  The service marketplace in that area represents a significant incremental opportunity for ServicePower, and we are excited to have found the right partner in CRMSmart to tap that opportunity.”
