Platinum Consulting Group Announces Deployment of PeopleSoft CRM for Plant Equipment, Inc.


El Segundo, CA, March 28, 2002 - Platinum Advantage, Inc, dba Platinum Consulting Group (PCG), a leading Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution and integration Provider, announced today the successful deployment of PeopleSoft, Inc. (Nasdaq:  PSFT) Sales, Marketing, FieldService, and Support modules for Plant Equipment, Inc. (PEI).

By implementing these PeopleSoft® CRM modules, multiple departments within PEI, an industry leader in public safety telecommunications, will be able to communicate across its entire enterprise.  Additionally, PeopleSoft CRM will allow PEI's sales, marketing, field support, and contact center employees to gain a complete and consistent view of all relevant customer communications.  

"We chose PeopleSoft CRM based on functionality of the product to meet our business objectives of eliminating multiple databases and to have one tool to allow our sales department and support department to communicate more efficiently with our customers," said Joe Bruno, Vice President of Technical Service for Plant Equipment, Inc.

Platinum Consulting Group recommended PeopleSoft CRM to PEI because of its flexibility and robust toolset, allowing for very specific customizations and integrations required by PEI.  PeopleSoft CRM's open platform allows PEI to integrate its internally developed ROI legacy system and a third party product configuration application, with the entire PeopleSoft CRM suite.

The PeopleSoft Sales module will increase sales productivity by allowing sales representatives to capture and track detailed customer information, improve lead identification and opportunity conversion rates, and have an accounting of customer activity.  The PeopleSoft Marketing module will allow PEI to conduct coordinated multi-channel marketing campaigns to generate highly qualified leads that will be seamlessly passed to the PeopleSoft Sales module.  The integration will optimize the lead management process and the overall response rates.  PeopleSoft FieldService will enable PEI to automate service order processing and dispatch field personnel to meet the customers service level agreement.  PeopleSoft Support provides PEI's customer service representatives with relevant customer information necessary to efficiently identify mission critical customer issues to improve overall customer satisfaction and loyalty.

"PeopleSoft CRM's flexibility is one of the main reasons why so many companies like Plant Equipment, Inc. are selecting this application.  It can integrate with existing systems such as PEI's ROI system, and can also be used as an integration vehicle for other third party applications," said Troy Ostboe, CEO of Platinum Consulting Group.  "PeopleSoft CRM is setting a standard for the CRM world to meet."
