Comments on the News

  • “Delivering transformational customer service is crucial to every company’s success in the social era,” said John Wookey, executive vice president of social applications, salesforce.com. “Chatter Communities for Service will extend the leadership of the Service Cloud and help companies connect with their customers in entirely new ways.”
  • “We have 50 million gamers as our customers, so naturally as a company we are very social and our games are very social,” said Robert Schmid, CIO, Activision. “The Service Cloud has helped us transform our entire customer service experience for social. Now both our marketing and customer service organizations can interact socially, collaborate, work faster and engage directly with our gamers. We can now interact with our customers in the ways that work best for them, no matter the channel.”

According to a recent study, conversations on the major social media networks now number more than 150 million per day.1 Yet most companies are not listening to their customers. Recent surveys have demonstrated that 95 percent of brand posts on Facebook and 71 percent of complaints on Twitter remain unanswered. The potential business impact of this lack of attention is monumental, as 88 percent of people surveyed indicated they were unlikely to buy from brands that ignore their complaints online.2

Chatter Communities for Service Revolutionizes the Portal

In the past, self-service and peer to peer customer service on the Web were separate experiences, and company experts were completely disconnected from both. Legacy portals forced customers to go to one destination for self service, another to connect with each other and yet another channel to connect with company experts. Furthermore, all of the different Web properties across an organization, whether for sales, service, or marketing, were disparate and hard to manage, with no common profiles, customer identities or reputations.

Chatter Communities for Service will revolutionize legacy portals by enabling customers to tap into a private social community of industry peers and company experts, all based on a common knowledge base. Customers will now have a single place to go for answers regardless of where their inquiry originates, and support organizations will have a common community platform across the extended enterprise.

Chatter Communities for Service will offer:

  • Customizable, Branded Experience: Chatter Communities for Service will leverage the Chatter Communities platform to give companies a customizable, branded location where their customers can ask questions, find answers, and receive help from both other community members and from the company directly.
  • Single Place for Customer Support: Customers will no longer waste time searching through dozens of potential online help destinations to find the answers they need. With Chatter Communities for Service, customers will have a single destination to get answers quickly.
  • Seamless Experience Across Channels: Customers expect to be able to start an interaction in one channel and finish it in any other channel with zero hiccups. With a common customer social profile at the heart of the Service Cloud, Chatter Communities for Service will deliver a unified customer service experience that lets companies deliver seamless support across channels, even if the case begins in social media and is resolved in a service community.
  • Conversations and Knowledge: Chatter Communities for Service will leverage a single underlying knowledge base to help customers find the right answer, the first time, every time.
