RightNow On Demand CRM Helps Jackson Hewitt Improve Customer Care for Franchisees and Customers

Bozeman, Mont., Wednesday, June 03, 2009

RightNow Technologies (NASDAQ: RNOW) is assisting Jackson Hewitt Tax Service®, a leader in the tax preparation industry, to improve customer support experiences by deploying the RightNow on demand customer relationship management (CRM) solution in its customer service center. The RightNow on demand solution will help Jackson Hewitt’s 200+ service representatives deliver better customer and franchisee support experiences by allowing the representatives to:

* View highly relevant, contextual, and timely information for each customer call
* See a single, unified view of all customer and franchisee interactions
* Tap into the same self-learning knowledge base used on the Company’s web site to ensure consistent and accurate answers

The RightNow on demand solution will also provide Jackson Hewitt® with increased customer service center productivity, lower customer support costs and higher customer satisfaction rates.

Trial Proves Successful During Busy Tax Season

Jackson Hewitt piloted the RightNow solution this past tax season at the peak of its seasonal activity to ensure the solution was robust enough to handle its high volume of interactions with franchisees, while simultaneously improving their support experiences.

“The successful trial of the RightNow on demand solution during our busy season proved that it could help us deliver a better customer experience and could scale to meet our needs during the most demanding time of year,” said Danamichele Brennen, Chief Technology Officer, Jackson Hewitt Tax Service Inc. “The success that we saw after the first few weeks was impressive: call volumes dropped, questions were easily answered and we received very positive responses from our franchise system.”
