Microsoft announced the Spring '15 release for Parature from Microsoft, adding new capabilities that empower brands and organizations to deliver engaging customer self-service solutions across applications, channels and devices. This new release emphasizes productivity for customer service professionals by delivering insights "above the service queue" to help agents quickly understand, diagnose and resolve issues that customers may face.
With its Spring '15 release, Parature is introducing more than 30 high-priority features that will not only increase the productivity and proactivity of customer service teams but also give agents increasing above-the-queue insights to improve and personalize each customer experience. The service also includes multilingual and translation capabilities, Parature's knowledge integration with Microsoft Dynamics CRM, and the introduction of Parature's highly anticipated omniportal that will enhance enterprise service scenarios.
"Parature's Spring '15 is the largest release in the history of Parature in terms of features and functionality," said Bill Patterson, senior director, customer self-service solutions, Microsoft, in a statement.
