Planned Parenthood Southeastern Pennsylvania Selects Parature Customer Service Software

Dynamic Software Suite Enables Efficient Employee Support

Vienna, VA (Vocus) August 26, 2008

Parature, the global leader in on-demand customer service software (http://www. parature. com/customer-service-software. aspx)], announced today that Planned Parenthood Southeastern Pennsylvania (PPSP) has selected Parature Customer Service™ software to manage the IT service and support requests for their organization, as well as a new collaborative organization, BetterHealth. Located in Philadelphia, PA PPSP is an affiliate of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) and serves Philadelphia, Delaware, and Montgomery Counties in Pennsylvania.

The PPSP support site powered by Parature Portal (http://www. parature. com/portal. aspx)™ will support approximately 220 staff, according to Michael Miller, Director of Information Technology. The legacy software they utilized to manage their support processes lacked the flexibility, integration capabilities and reporting features that Parature Customer Service software (http://www. parature. com/customersupport. aspx) enables. Implementing Parature's dynamic software suite ensures effective internal communication, and enables staff self-service all in one unified system.

"Parature Customer Service software enables us to effectively manage support requests, allowing us to provide the level of service our employees deserve," says Miller. "Our employees are responding quickly to the benefits of the software, and are feeling empowered by their contributions to building the knowledgebase. Additionally, the glossary feature has been a great asset to us - as a non-profit working with government acronyms and unusual terminology - it has enabled us to build a convenient reference area of terms and descriptions. With Parature we have a central location to manage our IT projects, allowing us to improve response times and be more proactive."
