REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Dec. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SupportSoft, Inc. (Nasdaq: SPRT - News), a leading provider of service and support automation software, announced today that Technology Marketing Corporation's (TMC(TM)) Customer Inter@ction Solutions® magazine, named SupportSoft's Resolution Suite as a Product of the Year winner for 2002.

"SupportSoft was the first software provider to deliver automated, self-healing functionality to the enterprise desk top. Today, you can find our software providing support automation in the computing devices professionals carry and in the home networking solutions where they live. For many companies, support is rapidly becoming a forethought in their IT initiatives versus an afterthought," said Bruce Mowery, Vice President of Marketing for SupportSoft. "We thank TMC for acknowledging our contributions and look forward to continued innovation on behalf of our customers in 2003."

According to Customer Inter@ction Solutions Group Editor-in-Chief, Rich Tehrani, SupportSoft's Resolution Suite was selected because it demonstrates true innovation, which is the hallmark of Product of the Year winners.

"SupportSoft is a clear leader in delivery of automated service and support solutions. We're proud to reward their hard work and innovation with a Product of the Year Award for 2002," said Nadji Tehrani, Chairman of TMC and Founder of Customer Inter@ction Solutions.

SupportSoft's flagship Resolution Suite is built upon a software architecture based on a set of patented technologies, called the Problem Resolution Platform. It is the foundation for SupportSoft's automated, personalized service and support solutions ranging from system self-healing and mass healing, to user self-service and intelligent assisted support. Highly scalable and flexible, the Resolution Suite offers corporate enterprises a cost-efficient way to tackle the challenge of supporting employees and partners. Applicable across a wide range of software applications, hardware platforms and mobile devices, the Resolution Suite for the enterprise can significantly reduce support costs and increase user productivity, as well as help IT departments scale to handle even the most demanding support requirements.

Customer Inter@ction Solutions has been a leading publication in the CRM, call center and teleservices industries since 1982. The magazine's Product of the Year award honors the outstanding teams who develop and manufacture the products on TMC's winning list, but it also serves to educate readers on the vast array of offerings in the market. Choosing the winners is a difficult process, and the editorial team spends considerable time reviewing vendors, as well as looking through materials collected over the past year.

A full list of Product of the Year winners will appear in the January 2003 issue of Customer Inter@ction Solutions magazine.
