SUNNYVALE, CA — (Marketwired) — 04/29/13 — , a global leader in customer service solutions used by more than 900 organizations worldwide, today announced that KANA Public Sector Spokesperson Steve Carter will be a featured speaker at this year-s , focusing on the full continuum of customer service needs and requirements to address the growing trend of collaborative utility and 311 public sector contact centers.
Held at the Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, Fla., prior to the official start of the customer service conference for managers and executives at investor-owned utilities, cooperatives, municipalities and government entities, the CS Week 311 Synergy Group is expected to have representatives from 40 to 50 North American cities in attendance. The CS Week 311 Synergy Group provides a professional, unbiased environment for in-depth and ongoing discussion of current issues and common interests among current and prospective 311 customer contact managers throughout North America. KANA is a Diamond Sponsor of the 311 Synergy group.
Carter-s presentation, Digital by Default: Mobile Apps and Social Media to Improve Citizen Service Response, will take place today, Monday, April 29 from 4 to 5 p.m. EDT. Carter will share how local governments are integrating mobile and social media tools, such as Facebook, Twitter, third-party smart phone apps and websites, and other third-party applications, with government service order systems to streamline work order management processes and improve citizen service response and delivery.
“The CS Week 311 Synergy Group plays an important role in facilitating discussion on the growing trend of co-op partnership among utilities and local government agencies in sharing contact center infrastructure for improved citizen service, greater efficiency and cost savings,” said Carter. “While 311 customer service is a location-focused model, utility customer service tends to be a customer-account-based model — while there-s an interconnectedness from a public service perspective, the two types of calls have distinctively different requirements. Many of our clients are delighted to find that they can address the full depth and breadth of customer service requirements in a seamless and omni-channel manner — leveraging KANA Lagan functionality to address 311 service requests and KANA Enterprise functionality to address account-based customer service requirements.”
