JETFORM "TAKES OFF" WITH SERVICESOFT's INTELLIGENT eSERVICE SOLUTIONS

JetForm to Leverage Servicesoft Solutions to Provide Best-of-Class Customer Service


Natick, MA/Ontario, Canada - October 13, 2000 - Servicesoft, Inc., a provider of intelligent eService solutions, today announced that JetForm Corporation (Nasdaq: FORM; TSE: JFM), a global provider of e-process solutions, has adopted the Servicesoft® 2001 suite to significantly reduce costs, while providing its customers with extraordinary and expedient service - ultimately leading to increased customer satisfaction.

Specializing in enterprise workflow solutions, JetForm provides services and products to more than 7,000 corporations and government organizations worldwide. JetForm had been relying on a toll-free call center, e-mail and fax to handle all of its customer needs. As the company grew its customer base, the cost to answer basic questions and issues raised by a customer via phone increased significantly, and with the increased volume, the company's high standards in response and turnaround time became more and more difficult to achieve. The company looked for a solution that would allow for an intuitive and searchable knowledge base to be made available directly to its clients, removing the need for customers to wait in queue for one of JetForm's customer service representatives to respond to any issues or concerns.  JetForm chose Servicesoft 2001.

"Out of all of the eService options available today, the Servicesoft 2001 suite is, by far, the best choice around," said Ted Capes, senior vice president, customer satisfaction and business processes.  "The intelligence that is inherent in the suite enables JetForm to proactively address customer issues, while keeping costs at a minimum. The Servicesoft 2001 suite is exactly what we were looking for."

"JetForm's decision to go with Servicesoft truly validates Servicesoft's value proposition," states Massood Zarrabian, Servicesoft president and CEO.  "JetForm needed a cost-effective solution that encapsulated a comprehensive knowledge base, and Servicesoft delivers the most robust product on the market.  As a result of choosing Servicesoft, JetForm will provide its customers with the best customer service possible, while saving money at the same time."  

Based on an industry leading, intelligent, multi-channel knowledge platform, Servicesoft solutions enable optimized communications - for both proactive and agent-assisted service.  Servicesoft will provide these capabilities, found within the Servicesoft 2001 suite, to JetForm through the following components and features:

Servicesoft Self-Serviceä allows an organization to easily create, deploy, and maintain a knowledge base of consistent, accurate advice. It also delivers intelligent self- service via the Internet and assisted service to customer service representatives delivering consistent, high quality and easily accessible answers.
      Servicesoft Email Responseä enables organizations to manage and monitor the growing tide of inbound and outbound e-mail by leveraging the existing e-mail infrastructure with automated response and report generating capabilities to improve customer satisfaction.
Servicesoft Live Collaborationä humanizes the way businesses and customers communicate on the Internet. Designed using text chat, voice, and multimedia collaboration to create an environment built on personalized interaction.

JetForm plans to deploy the Servicesoft 2001 suite by the end of the year.
