Fourth Consecutive Year RightNow Customer Receives Top Honor

Bozeman, MT (November 8, 2006) €” Nikon Corporation, a world leader in camera and digital imaging equipment, won the 2006 ROI Leadership grand prize award from Ziff Davis Media€™s Baseline magazine. This is the fourth year in a row that a RightNow(R) Technologies (NASDAQ: RNOW) customer has been honored with an ROI Leadership Award.

Using RightNow Service, the industry-leading on demand solution for optimizing the quality of the customer experience and the operational efficiency of multi-channel contact centers, Nikon achieved a three-year return-on-investment (ROI) of 3,203% percent. The company initially implemented RightNow Service in the U.S. and later expanded use throughout Europe and Asia. Nikon now runs RightNow Service in 19 languages worldwide.

€These types of results don€™t happen by accident,€ John McCormick, editor-in-chief of Baseline, said. €It takes vision, planning and dedication to successfully deploy critical information systems. But, as this project clearly demonstrates, when implemented right, information systems can have a big impact on a company€™s bottom line.€

With RightNow Service, Nikon customer service agents have real-time access to current records on all customers who contact Nikon support, regardless of how they contact the company €” via phone, e-mail or the web. This information helps them to more quickly assist customers and optimize the quality of each interaction. The company also established an online, self-service knowledge base, which customers can access 24 hours a day. By taking advantage of these RightNow features, the company was able to greatly increase the efficiency of call center agents, while improving the level of service provided to customers.
