January 14, 2002 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Primus Knowledge Solutions, Inc. (primus.com), IBM (ibm.com) and 3Com (3com.com) will present a Web self-service best practices Webinar on Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2002.

The online seminar will feature a special profile on how 3Com saved more
r
than $16 million automating its technical support operations using Primus
r
products. Primus, a provider of knowledge application software for customer
r
contact centers and portals, helped 3Com increase the number of technical
r
inquiries solved via the Web.
r
r
r
“Clients experiencing measurable ROI such as 3Com are committed to service
r
excellence that goes well beyond simple search and FAQs,” said David Ridout,
r
Primus vice president of worldwide business development. “It’s really about
r
mirroring best practices from the call center on the Web. 3Com knowledgebase
r
users ask questions in plain English and receive quick, clear, accurate
r
responses. In this seminar, attendees will learn what IBM classifies as the
r
critical Web self service success factors, and how 3Com met the needs of
r
their customers and bottom line by delivering great service.”
r
r
r
From the time 3COM introduced Web self service using Primus applications,
r
their knowledge base has grown to contain more than 9,000 approved solutions
r
for both current and discontinued products. Based on the number of times
r
users were able to find the solutions without having to call a support
r
engineer, 3Com was able to break even on the initial equipment and Primus
r
software investment within six months. Over the past three years, the
r
company estimates a total pre-tax return of 279 percent on its investment.

The Webinar will be held Wednesday, Jan. 16, at 10 a.m. PST (1 p.m. EST),
r
and can be accessed at primus.com/seminar/seminar.asp. Speakers include
r
Mark Drake, manager of IBM customer support; Steve Olson, director of Web
r
