SAN MATEO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Keynote
Competitive Research, the industry analysis group of Keynote
Systems (Nasdaq:KEYN), today announced the results of the Keynote
Competitive Research Industry Study examining the marketing websites of
leading Canadian banks. The study assesses the sites’ effectiveness in
encouraging positive brand perception and increasing customer
acquisition rates. In the 2011 Canadian Banking Prospects Study, BMO
Bank of Montreal took first place for Best Overall Customer Experience
and Scotiabank came in first for Best Overall Technical Quality. The
entire study is available for immediate purchase. To request more
information please visit: http://bit.ly/CanadianBanks.

“We are using that insight to
help clients determine where to focus site investment to improve
business results with new-to-bank prospects.”

Winning companies are invited to participate in the Keynote
Online Excellence Program which recognizes the “best of the best”
websites as ranked in the studies. The rankings are based on responses
from real users whose entire clickstream is captured as they accomplish
tasks on each of the sites studied, as well as on real performance data
collected through Keynote website monitoring to assess the technical
quality of the sites. For each study, Keynote recognizes the companies
with the overall top ranking, as well as those exhibiting excellence in
specific categories.

For the ‘Customer Experience’ portion of the study, Keynote observed and
conducted online interviews with 1,750 prospective online banking
customers as they interacted with the websites of a total of seven
leading Canadian banks (250 consumers per site): BMO Bank of Montreal,
CIBC, National Bank of Canada, President’s Choice Financial, RBC Royal
Bank, Scotiabank and TD Canada Trust.

For the ‘Technical Quality’ portion of the study, Keynote performed
2,000 total measurements for each site, for a total of 14,000 total
measurements, from four locations in Canada.

Keynote Competitive Research produces leading industry research using
the company’s commercially available Web
performance monitoring and real user experience testing products.
Keynote regularly evaluates the current state of online customer
experience, technical quality (responsiveness/reliability) and
implementation of best practices on leading websites across a wide
variety of vertical markets including financial services, automotive,
media/entertainment, retail, travel and technology.

Banking Websites

For the ‘Customer Experience’ component of the study, Keynote sent 250
Canadian resident Internet users to each of the seven bank marketing
sites. First, the online panelists explored the bank’s home page.
Panelists then used the site to find a chequing or savings account that
might suit their needs and then explored online banking and bill
payment. The panelists were then asked to proceed through the process of
opening a deposit account online, going as far as possible without
actually submitting the application. Panelists concluded their
evaluation by learning about the site’s commitment to privacy and
security and completing a customer support task.

The study revealed that when tested by actual users BMO Bank of Montreal
offers the strongest Overall Customer Experience, placing first in Brand
Impact and Customer Satisfaction, two key drivers of business success.
Other key findings include:

• BMO Bank of Montreal performed better than the other sites studied in
  Customer Satisfaction;
• BMO Bank of Montreal is in the top tier of sites for 4 out of 6 top
  drivers;
• President’s Choice Financial is a top site for 3 drivers;
• Privacy & Security, Help and Support, Visual Appeal, and Ease of
  Opening Account are all key drivers for brand impact and customer
  acquisition.

“Our quantitative and qualitative analysis of the attitudes and behavior
of actual consumers using their own computers to interact with bank
marketing sites revealed that six site experiences drive Brand and
Acquisition. Of particular interest to marketers, we found that the nine
site aspects that combine to form the Site Organization driver are the
leading predictor of Brand and the second leading predictor of
Acquisition,” said Christopher Musto, general manager of the Keynote
Competitive Research group at Keynote. “We are using that insight to
help clients determine where to focus site investment to improve
business results with new-to-bank prospects.”

Canadian Banking Websites

In addition to evaluating customer experience with its panel of actual
users, the Keynote study also examined two broad aspects of technical
quality: responsiveness and reliability. Responsiveness comprises: high
speed response, DSL (midband) response, response time consistency,
geographic uniformity and load handling, while reliability is comprised
of availability and outages.

For the ‘Technical Quality’ portion of the study, using measurement
computers located in four cities across Canada, Keynote measured a
typical transaction of starting at the bank’s Home Page and going
through the process of finding and applying for a Chequing account,
stopping where applicants were asked for their identity. Based on the
thousands of transactions monitored over the course of the study,
Scotiabank ranked first in Overall Technical Quality, scoring tops in
both Responsiveness (or speed), and Reliability, with perfect scores of
1,000 in both.

“Based on the rigorous testing that Keynote performed for this study
Scotiabank.com outperformed all the sites studied in both speed and
reliability, scoring perfect 1,000s on the Keynote scale for each
metric,” said Ben Rushlo, director of performance management at Keynote.
“This commitment to technical excellence serves them well; as our
research indicates that banking customers increasingly expect a flawless
online experience.”

In order to collect the Technical Quality data Keynote used its Transaction
Perspective® product, the leading real browser based service for
measuring and monitoring website performance from the end user
perspective. With Keynote Transaction Perspective the company examines
website performance from multiple geographic locations by simulating
users clicking through transactions on a website. Keynote collected more
than 14,000 data points that detailed each of the sites’ technical
performance in terms of page responsiveness and reliability.

The study is available for purchase from Keynote and comes with
extensive analysis of brand impact, acquisition impact, reliability and
responsiveness and the factors that drive sites’ performance in these
areas. Clients will receive an executive presentation, extensive back-up
charts and illustrations, and online access to all clickstreams,
verbatims, question responses and panel facts for all panelists at all
sites for all tasks and can download and use this data in their own
research. To inquire about a copy, please visit us online: http://bit.ly/CanadianBanks.

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–LiveVox Inc., the provider of Private VoIP Cloud™ contact center
applications, today announced that Accounts Receivables Management, Inc.
has signed a multi-year agreement for use of the LiveVox Cloud Contact
Center Platform across all global call centers.

“The goal of technology providers should be to deliver simpler models
that allow contact centers to quickly take action when business
requirements change”

ARM, a leading receivables management solutions provider based in
Thorofare, N.J., concluded that site-premised dialer technology was too
slow to adapt to industry changes. ARM expanded an existing relationship
with LiveVox once deciding that the cloud system materially outperformed
premised dialers. ARM has now implemented the full LiveVox suite of
ACD/PBX, predictive dialer, IVR, and call recording for more than 300
seats at onshore and offshore locations.

“I have been extremely impressed with LiveVox’s dedication to
customizing the right solution for its clients,” said Joe Burch, Chief
Operating Officer, ARM. “We know receivables management operations and
strategy, but technology optimization is LiveVox’s area of expertise.
With the scale and agility of the LiveVox system we increased
productivity and very clearly saw ways to improve our client
performance.”

Productivity & Cost Efficiency

ARM realized they needed better flexibility, scalability and reporting
than traditional site-premised dialers could provide. “With LiveVox,
Right-Party Contact rates increased as much as 35% raising productivity
without higher telephony costs,” said Josh Seuberling, Director of
Operations, ARM. Seuberling added that “ARM can be more flexible with
contact strategies, such as hosting its best agents from across
locations on the same high-value campaigns on the fly.”

ARM also used LiveVox to migrate their contact centers fully to VoIP
without PBX upgrades, capital expenditures or ongoing maintenance and
support costs of on-site technology.

“The goal of technology providers should be to deliver simpler models
that allow contact centers to quickly take action when business
requirements change,” said Louis Summe, Chief Executive Officer,
LiveVox. “The cloud delivers levels of scale, flexibility and security
that would be cost prohibitive to most organizations otherwise. These
features, not on-site servers, are what improve performance.”

Rapid Implementation & Sensible Migration

ARM appreciated the speed of LiveVox deployment and new feature upgrades
without “waiting for an annual release to come out” like site-premised
solutions do, Burch said.

At the same time, LiveVox was able to map ARM’s required campaign
customizations and deliver a smooth transition from legacy hardware to
the cloud contact center without impacting existing operations.

Security, Reliability, and Scalability

The LiveVox solution is unique as a hosted ACD/IVR/PBX that is PCI-DSS
certified. Cloud deployment results in truly elastic applications,
scaling up and down as, when and where needed. The multi-tenant LiveVox
solution is built upon identical resource pools with automatic failover,
even at the carrier layer through the use of multiple top IP carriers.

About LiveVox

LiveVox provides cloud contact center solutions. The patented,
PCI-certified LiveVox platform integrates highly scalable applications
such as ACD/PBX, predictive dialer, IVR, call recording and business
analytics via a burstable, redundant IP/MPLS mesh. LiveVox is
headquartered in San Francisco. For more information, visit www.livevox.com.

semiconductor solutions for the converging voice, data and video
network, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended
December 31, 2011.

“During the quarter, we announced our first customer for HDplay™
products and recently introduced HDwire™ as the world’s fastest video
interface solution for flat-screen panels. HDwire™ delivers record
throughput while significantly reducing the cost and complexity of video
interconnects inside TV’s and computer monitors.”

Net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2011 were approximately $ 6.3
million, as compared to net revenues of $ 6.7 million for the third
quarter of 2011 and $ 10.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. Net
loss for the fourth quarter of 2011 was ($ 11.9) million, or ($ 0.39) per
basic and diluted common share, as compared to a net loss of ($ 4.8)

quarter of 2011, and a net loss of ($ 1.8) million, or ($ 0.08) per basic
and diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2010. The Company’s
fourth quarter results include non-cash goodwill and intangible
impairment charges aggregating $ 14.3 million related to an acquisition
made by the Company in 2008 partially offset by a $ 6.9 million reversal
of accrued restructuring liabilities due to an amendment to a sublease
for approximately 93,000 square feet of excess office space. This
amendment extends the sublease through May 2017.

The GAAP gross margin for the fourth quarter was 58%. This is compared
to the Company’s GAAP gross margin of 65% for the third quarter of 2011,
and 64% for the fourth quarter of 2010.

Total non-GAAP operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2011 were
$ 7.7 million, as compared to $ 7.4 million in the third quarter of 2011
and $ 7.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Non-GAAP operating
expenses for the fourth quarter of 2011 exclude $ 0.1 million in
amortization of purchase price intangibles, $ 0.5 million in stock-based
compensation, $ 14.3 million in goodwill and intangible impairments, and
benefits of $ 0.3 million and $ 6.9 million from the reversal of accrued
royalties and restructuring liabilities, respectively. Total GAAP
operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2011 were $ 15.4 million, as
compared to $ 8.8 million in the third quarter of 2011 and $ 8.0 million
in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Non-GAAP operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2011 was ($ 4.1)
million, compared to a non-GAAP operating loss of ($ 3.1) million for the
third quarter of 2011 and a non-GAAP operating loss of ($ 0.9) million
for the fourth quarter of 2010. On a GAAP basis, the operating loss for
the fourth quarter of 2011 was ($ 11.8) million, compared to an operating
loss of ($ 4.5) million for the third quarter of 2011 and an operating
loss of ($ 1.6) million for the fourth quarter of 2010.

Non-GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2011 was ($ 4.2) million, or
($ 0.14) per share, compared with a non-GAAP net loss of ($ 3.3) million,
or ($ 0.11) per share, for the third quarter of 2011 and a non-GAAP net
loss of ($ 1.1) million, or ($ 0.05) per share, for the fourth quarter of
2010.

Further information about non-GAAP measures is provided below and a
reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP results
is provided after the financial statements attached to this release.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Comparable U.S. GAAP
Measures (Unaudited)

Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided a
reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure used in this earnings
release and related conference call or webcast to the most directly
comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The
reconciliation for historic non-GAAP measures is provided herein on a
quantitative basis and for non-GAAP measures that are forward-looking is
provided herein on a qualitative basis.

The non-GAAP measures used in this earnings release and related
conference call differ from GAAP in that they exclude expenses related
to stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, the
effects of special charges such as asset impairments, restructuring
charges and benefits from the reversal of accrued royalties. The
Company’s basis for these adjustments is described below. Management
uses these non-GAAP measures for internal reporting and forecasting
purposes. The Company has provided these non-GAAP financial measures in
addition to GAAP financial results because it believes that these
non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to certain
investors and financial analysts for comparison across accounting
periods not influenced by certain non-cash items that are not used by
management when evaluating the Company’s historical and prospective
financial performance.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating the
Company’s operating performance and believes that such measures are
useful to investors and financial analysts in assessing the Company’s
operating performance as the Company believes that the presentation of
non-GAAP measures that adjust for the impact of stock-based compensation
expenses, amortization of intangible assets, the effects of special
charges such as asset impairments and restructuring charges and benefits
from the reversal of accrued royalties provides investors and financial
analysts with a consistent basis for comparison across accounting
periods and, therefore, are useful to investors and financial analysts
in helping them to better understand the Company’s operating results and
underlying operational trends.

We do not provide forward-looking GAAP measures or a reconciliation of
the forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures because of our
inability to project special charges, asset impairments, employee
separation costs and stock-based compensation related expenses.

The non-GAAP financial measures we provide have certain limitations
because they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the
operation of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. The
non-GAAP measures are in addition to, and not a substitute for, or
superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance
with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other
companies. We endeavor to compensate for the limitations of these
non-GAAP measures by providing GAAP financial statements, descriptions
of the reconciling items and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures
to the most directly comparable GAAP measures so that investors can
appropriately incorporate the non-GAAP measures and their limitations
into their analyses. Please see our financial statements and
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition” that will be included in the periodic report we
expect to file with the SEC with respect to the financial periods
discussed herein.

INDIANAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–A recent webcast
hosted by unified IP business communications solutions provider,
Interactive Intelligence Group Inc. (Nasdaq: ININ), has revealed key
2012 contact center trends.

“year over year, it’s the attention that mobile customer care is
getting that’s the big change. Companies are frantically looking for
solutions, and vendors are scrambling to create differentiated
offerings.”

The webcast, attracting more than 2,300 registrants and featuring
multiple industry experts, identified the following seven key 2012
contact center trends:

1. The increasing use of remote agents
2. A renewed focus on the
customer experience
3. The rapid adoption of cloud solutions
4.
The impact of social media
5. The incorporation of mobile devices
6.
The evolution of telephone endpoint devices
7. The focus on primary
key performance indicators

“Among the most important trends affecting contact centers this year is
the increasing use of remote agents,” said Forrester Research Inc.
principal analyst, Art Schoeller, during the webcast. “Driven by more
flexible staffing, reduced real estate costs, a broader recruitment
base, and improved retention, it’s clear why the use of remote agents is
on the rise.”

Also presenting during the webcast
was Interactive Intelligence senior VP, Joe Staples, who discussed the
adoption of cloud solutions.

“As vendors successfully address top customer concerns of security,
reliability and control, it’s no wonder that cloud-based solutions are
growing,” Staples said. “In fact, analysts forecast that over the next
three to five years the market for cloud-based contact center solutions
will grow at a rate of about 18 to 20 percent. Compare that to the
growth of premise solutions, which is in the low single digits and
forecast to plateau or even diminish over the same period.”

During the webcast, results of an audience poll showed that a full 58
percent had either already moved their contact center solutions to the
cloud, or were considering doing so.

Another trend — that of social media — also generated interesting poll
results. When audience members were asked, “How are you using social
media?” the largest number, at 45.5 percent, indicated they used it to
listen to what customers were saying about their brand. That was
followed by the use of social media to provide customer support (35.9
percent), and its use for lead generation (32.9 percent). About 24
percent said they weren’t using social media at all, and about 23
percent said that they used it to facilitate internal collaboration.

Webcast
panelist, Don Van Doren, founder and president of Vanguard
Communications, emphasized the importance of social media to the
customer experience. “Growing social media usage will have an enormous
impact on how companies engage with their customers,” Van Doren said.
“Understanding how best to use these new channels will challenge
traditional contact center thinking, and will require new system
solutions.”

On the subject of driving a successful customer experience, Schoeller
shared interesting statistics about the growth of customer service jobs.
Based on data from Indeed.com, job titles that included the phrase,
“customer experience,” showed growth around 100 percent in 2008, jumping
to 350 percent in 2010.

“If there was any doubt about the importance of the customer experience,
it’s clear that 2012 is the year that it becomes the competitive
differentiator among organizations,” Schoeller said. “It’s the wise
contact center manager who heeds this and develops a plan that lets
customers interact from anywhere, using any device, and across all
channels, especially social media platforms.”

Speaking about the wide adoption of smart mobile devices, Sheila
McGee-Smith, webcast panelist and founder of McGee-Smith Analytics,
said, “year over year, it’s the attention that mobile customer care is
getting that’s the big change. Companies are frantically looking for
solutions, and vendors are scrambling to create differentiated
offerings.”

Other trends discussed in the webcast
were the evolution of telephone endpoint devices and a focus on several
primary key performance indicators, including the use of real time
speech analytics and capturing the voice of the customer.

“Given the quality of insight demonstrated in this webcast, we believe
we’ve accomplished our goal of helping contact center managers, customer
service vice presidents, and anyone in charge of managing the customer
experience take advantage of the latest trends so they can improve
employee performance for the benefit of customers,” Staples said.

master distributor, multiple distributors and agents, and storefronts
that sell the telephony products to end users. Pinless Plus takes care
of all commission tracking – from the selling point back up through the
entire chain – ensuring that everyone gets paid on a continual basis,
regardless of how an account is recharged after the initial sale.

“We have the largest installed base of any company in the prepaid
telecom industry, and we’re proud to offer this product, which will
enable our customers to create new profitable revenue streams,” said
Arnie Goodstein, President of NACT Solutions. “The Pinless Plus Web
Portal helps service providers grow their revenues, retain customers
through simple recharge processes, and it’s clean – the end-user product
doesn’t need to be printed, which also helps to reduce costs.”

All systems come with customization services to provide a look and feel
that matches each customer’s web site. IPhone, Android and Blackberry
apps; International cell phone top up; international texting; and
payment center functionality will be added to the solution in the months
ahead, and details will be made available in a subsequent release.

The Pinless Plus web portal is available now as a standalone software
product. It can be provided as software-only, and loaded onto a
customer’s web server. It can also be delivered turnkey with a server,
or sold on a hosted service basis. Please contact Sales@nact.com for
current pricing. To see the product first hand at ITEXPO in Miami,
please visit NACT in booth # 440, or contact Eric Goodstein to schedule
a demo.
