The Users Choice Award, sponsored by CRMAdvocate, recognizes best of class customer relationship products and services based on the judgments of the people who actually use them. CRMAdvocate, an industry initiative whose commitment is to help grow and mature the CRM market through leadership in education and research, conducted an online poll of customer service solutions users. Award winners were selected based on people’s satisfaction with the product they use and the impact it has on their ability to interact with customers.

“We are excited to be recognized by our customers and by CRMAdvocate as a winner of the 2004 Users Choice Award,” said Mark Krieger, President of UniPress Software. “This award further validates the value of FootPrints to our customers as a leading web-based service desk solution for the mid-market. Our customers consistently tell us that having a cost-effective, easy-to-use solution in place is critical, and by receiving this award we are able to realize that FootPrints provides them with what they need.”
