New software integration improves Bank’s website self-service channel
Nacogdoches, TX – June 24, 2013 – Etech Global Services,a leading business process outsourcer and technology provider, today announced the deployment of their ICE platform on one of the top 10 U.S. bank’s website as part of their “Natural Language Help” initiative. The bank’s customers who are not able to find answers to their questions through the standard self-service channel can now escalate an email to the bank for further information. The bank expects the new ICE software implementation to improve their online customer experience, customer acquisition and overall retention rates.
This implementation marks a major milestone for Etech with deployment of ICE at one of America’s top banking institutions.With the successful deployment, Etech has demonstrated the ability to provide Software as a Service (SaaS) in even the most demanding and secure of environments where the SaaS model has not been fully embraced.
“This deployment was made possible through a strategic partnership and tight software integration with IntelliResponse,” said Ronnie Mize, Senior Vice President of Etech Global Services. “We are thankful for the support of IntelliResponse and look forward to further building our partnership with them.”
The ICE platform had to be thoroughly vetted to make sure it met the stringent standards of the banking industry which happened over a period of more than six months. Critical to meeting these requirements was a strategic move to partner with Amazon.com for use of their data centers on the east coast with back-up capacity on the west coast for failover.
“Amazon.com has provided us with a secure, compliant and extremely scalable environment that will allow us to grow the ICE platform to support the needs of any size customer. We saw an immediate boost in performance and now have access to the resources of the world’s most flexible and powerful data center,” said Mize.
As an early external customer for the ICE platform, the bank deployment has demonstrated the quality development and high standards followed by Etech as well as showing how easy the product is to use.
Matt Rocco, Etech President commented on the milestone, “We are very excited to have successfully launched our ICE platform. This technology platform has been in the development stages for the last 5 years. We think it has some very unique qualities that will enable the product to quickly gain exposure and market share. Coupled with Etech’s award winning contact center CHAT agents, we will continue to make a remarkable difference for our customers.”
